Wisteria Circle

Hello there! I am really excited to share my project with you today. My card features the brand new Wisteria Circle stamp from Stampendous. I love this stamp, and all imagery of wisteria. I have thriving wisteria plant at the front of my house, and it makes me smile whenever I look at it, especially when it is in bloom. It's just a lovely plant. So this week, the Stampendous team and I are featuring this stamp, as well as the new Tree Circle stamp, which I'll be sharing later in the week.  I tried to make my stamped image look like cloisonne, which is beautiful metal and enamel work. My full instructions are below.
Supplies:
Stampendous:
W202: Wisteria Circle
SSC1281: Greetings Galore
DP102: Detail Gold Embossing Powder

Other:
My Colors Cardstock: Sky, Winter Lake, Wildflower
Imagine: VersaMark Ink
Artist's Loft: Watercolor Paper, Watercolors
Scrapbook Adhesives: E-Z Runner


Directions:
1. On a piece of watercolor paper, stamp the Wisteria Circle with VersaMark Ink.

2. Sprinkle the stamped image with Detail Gold embossing powder and heat set.

3. Watercolor the embossed image. I used shades of purples, blues and greens, plus 1 brown for mine.

4. After the watercolored image is dried, cut it out.

5. Create the card base out of Sky cardstock, cut to 4 1/4" x 11."

6. Create a mat using Wildflower cardstock, cut to 3 3/4" x 4 3/4."

7. Cut a strip of Winter Lake to the size of 4 1/4" x 1."

8. Stamp a sentiment from the Greetings Galore set with VersaMark ink on to the strip of Winter Lake.

9. Sprinkle Detail Gold Embossing Powder on to the sentiment and heat set.

10. Tear the bottom of the sentiment strip for texture.

11. Glue all layers to the card base.

Please don't forget to visit the rest of the Stampendous team that is playing along to day over on the Blog. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

I think the Wisteria stamp is my favorite of the 2. This is yet another completely different look. Soft & pretty.

Your wisteria looks just like cloisonné! It is beautiful. Don't have wisteria in my yard, but there are some vines in the neighborhood so get to see it-- so lovely.

Mediterranean Dreams Shaker

Hello! Today I have a card that features the Mediterranean Dreams Subscription Kit from White Rose Crafts.  This fabulous Subscription Kit brings together sparkling, azure Mediterranean seas, sun-bleached shores and the rich colors of vibrant Mediterranean cultures in a carefully curated kit. I knew I just had to try the Jillibean Soup shaker card and I chose to use one of the stamps (from Kaisercraft) to make my background. I stamped the seashell with Tea Dye Distress Oxide all over the background of the card. Then I applied some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide to my craft mat, spritzed it with some water, and splattered it on to my card base. Last, I inked the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide with a Mini Blending Brush. For my sentiment, I die cut a stitched rectangle from my stash, out of the pearly yellow cardstock that came in the kit and stamped it with "Wish You Were Here" stamp from the same "Summer Splash" stamp set, with StazOn Pigment ink. And ...

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
