Summer Days again

Leave a reply

Here’s my third card this week showcasing the host set, Summer Days along with the sentiment from Loyal Leaves which was still on my desk from last week!

As on Friday’s card, I stamped the image in Sahara sand and then colored it. I used dark granny apple green on all of the stamped image lines and then used the light one to blend it and fill in the rest of the image. Then I did the same on the wood using dark and light soft suede. The track was colored using dark and light crumb cake.

The sentiment was stamped in granny apple green onto the top layer. I’d advise doing this before the coloring, just in case, although you could always pop up a sentiment on top if you make a mistake. I then mounted the whisper white layer onto a crumb cake mat and then adhered to a granny apple green card base.

If you’d like to see me making this and the two earlier ones, I do a Facebook Live on Sundays at 11am EST on @MyElegantCards, i.e. in about 3.5 hours. I make all three cards that I blog during the week.

More Loyal Leaves

Here’s the third card showcasing the Loyal Leaves stamp set; an 8 piece cling stamp set (152544) for $23.  I’ll be making them all live on my Facebook page (My Elegant Cards) at 11am EST today. After I made Friday’s card, I decided to try the same sort of thing but this time bringing in a spritzer and water.

This time I used a D block and, after tapping it onto the granny apple green ink pad, spritzed it with water and pressed it onto the whisper white paper. Since it needed time to dry, I did this several times on other piece of card stock.

Next I used early espresso to stamp a leaf. A couple of the layers had splurges of ink on so I trimmed those down with the trimmer and then added an early espresso mat, as with this example. I added a sentiment from the Loyal Leaves set on to the card base and then adhered the two together.

I made more cards using the backgrounds that I’d created and I ended up with a set of six! Here are some of them:

I used an E block for the next one

I really can’t decide which of the two types I like best. What do you think? Full sized whisper white layer or cut down with an early espresso mat?

Loyal Leaves

Leave a reply

This week I’m showcasing the Loyal Leaves stamp set which is an 8 piece cling stamp set (152544) for $23.  And the leaves are gorgeous.

You’ll have to trust me what I tell you that it looks better in person; I couldn’t get the photo to really show the gold embossing. I used a C block and tapped it onto ink pads and then onto the very vanilla layer cleaning in between each color. The colors used are just jade, shaded spruce and pretty peacock – stamping off for the pretty peacock otherwise it was too dark.

After leaving this to dry, I heat embossed the leaf in gold and then added the sentiment from Loyal Leaves in pretty peacock. There’s also a pretty peacock mat to really frame the focal point.

In Good Taste DSP

Leave a reply

This week I’m focusing on one of the new designer series papers in the new annual catalog, In Good Taste DSP. It’s great collection of 24 papers, 2 each of 12 double sided patterns. They are photos of wood, textiles and other textures; they easily create masculine or feminine projects.

This one features a piece of the DSP which I matted with night of navy and then adhered to a Misty Moonlight card base. I stamped the sentiment – from Peaceful Moments – in Misty Moonlight directly onto the DSP. I added a bow and enamel dots both in Misty Moonlight showcasing some of the in color collection.

Rooted in Nature Double

Leave a reply

Here’s the last past for this week showing the Rooted in Nature set which is carrying over to the new catalog out next week. I decided to do a sunset card and used my ovals and circles framelits dies to help cut out my mask.

I used a standard layer of very vanilla and held my mask in place whilst I sponged and daubed using mango melody, daffodil delight, pumpkin pie and lovely lipstick. I removed the mask over the setting sun and added more daffodil delight and a smear of lovely lipstick.

I then stamped the trees in tuxedo momento black and then sponged old olive in the foreground. I then decided to cut my layer in half and make two cards for the price of one! I added black mats and a sentiment also from Rooted in Nature. Then I thought I’d demonstrate how a different coloured card base can make quite a difference.

I’ll be going live on Facebook at 11am EST on My Elegant Cards demonstrating all the Rooted in Nature cards that I’ve made this week. If you place an order with me of at least $20 in product, I’ll send you the cut card stock that would allow you to make the 4 cards along with a tutorial. If you only want the tutorial, that’s $15.
