Cozy Cottage

I made this card awhile back and just never got around to photographing it.  Today, was a good day to share this with you as I am preparing for my Open House for tomorrow.  At the time that I made this card, I was experimenting with the Brusho Crystal Colour and thought this detailed hostess stamp set called Cozy Cottage would be perfect to use with it.

I love this stamp set embossed.  It makes it look soft like a cozy cottage should feel.  Gold embossing paired with Vanilla cardstock is fantastico if you ask me.  (Note: I did use watercolor paper for the main panel and then attached it to a Thick Very Vanilla card base).

I sprayed the watercolor paper with water and carefully shook Prussian Blue in the sky area and Yellow and Mossy Green in the rest of the area.  I then sprayed it a little more and then ended up grabbing my Aqua Painter to blend the blue for the sky a little bit more.  I got lucky as it turned out even better than I thought for my first go. :)


As I was adding the sentiment, I thought how great it would be to send this to my mom, but she has been gone for quite some time now.  However, I do have a perfect person to send this to- my daughter who stayed in her college town to work for the summer.  I barely get to see that busy girl, and this will be perfect to send to her. :)

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in!  And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom .  For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

 It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo!  I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge.   For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears .  This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous.  For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
