Colorado Corners

I used a new stamp set for this card and I'm linking-up to Simon's challenge--this week it's Fabulous Florals.

The set is called Floral Corners by artist Kris Lauren for the Colorado Craft Company.

It was stamped on rice paper, tinted with watercolors, fussy-cut for mounting on scrapbook paper, and embellished with Stickles.

I used rice paper because it's easy to cut and plan to alter future stampings of this design to change-up the cornered layout. I just love the stamp's delicate design but a tiny brush was a must for tinting.

As always, I hope this post finds you well and happy and I appreciate your visit.

Until next time, take care.

Happy With You

This card was made with a stamp by Laurel Burch whose art features bright, bold and playful colors. Honestly, I've never had much luck tinting this stamp in the same style (it's harder than it looks).

But given the Simon challenge this week (Red, White and Blue), I limited my palette to just those colors and had better success.

I stamped on top of scrapbook paper, used Pitt brush pens to tint, and applied the image to a background printed with a gelli plate. The text is a Small Talk sticker and the dots were made with a gel pen.

As always, I hope this post finds you well and happy and I appreciate your visit.

Until next time, take care.
