Gerbera Daisies

On Friday I received a new shipment of stamps from Northwoods Rubber Stamps . Be sure to see them in the store! There is some pure gorgeousness there!
Of course, I couldn't wait to ink one of them, so I chose this beautiful new stamp called Gerbera Daisies in Vase . I stamped it on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The image was colored using Tombow Markers and a damp paint brush.

The designer paper is from the Basic Grey Sugar Rush paper pad. The cardstock is Intense Yellow and Papaya Puree Dark Prismatics . The ribbon is 1" White Sheer by May Arts.

Please be sure to come back tomorrow morning. I will be making an exciting announcement that you won't want to miss!

Until then...have a Super Sunday! :)

JustRite Gerbera Daisy

Oh, how I DO love these new flowers from JustRite Stamps!
This one is the Gerbera Daisy from the My Garden borders and centers set. I used a 3 1/4" Wood Stamper and stamped the center twice on watercolor paper. I colored each with Tombow Markers , cut out one of them and popped it up using foam tape. I even added a little touch of Cinnamon Stickles to the center. The border was stamped on Sunflower Prismatics cardstock. I embossed both the flowers and the border with Chocolate Brown embossing powder.

The designer paper is from the new Basic Grey Origins paper pad. The buttons are from Basic Grey as well. The Brown Burlap String used to thread the buttons is from May Arts.

I am leaving early Saturday morning to travel to CHA. I can't wait to see some of my stamping friends there! More about that later. Until then...

Holly Berry Hearts and Stripes Medallion

I can't tell you when I've had more fun making a card!
This is Holly Berry's Hearts and Stripes Medallion . I used ColorBox Warm Red Chalk Ink, then stamped and embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder.

The image was stamped 3 times on Iced Pink Prismatics , once on Frosted Pink Prismatics , and twice on Vibrant Pink Prismatics cardstock. I cut away the layers as shown, and popped them up using foam tape. Now I must tell you that you don't have to have nearly this many layers. I just don't ever know when to stop!!! LOL!


That gorgeous glitter is Art Institute Glitter's Crystal Ultrafine Transparent glitter. The glitter square outside the pink square was made by placing a strip of 1/4" Scor Tape around the edges of the square panel, then adding the glitter so it sticks to the tape. Simple, huh?

The corners were punched with a Fiskars corner punch. I added Mini Pearls to embellish.
For the inside I stamped the medallion, cut it out, then placed a sentiment from the new JustRite Romantic Sentiments borders and centers set. It's one of the brand new releases from JustRite stampers. I expect my shipment to arrive tomorrow night (Thursday), so be sure to check back!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

The main image is Penny Black's The Park Bench Affair . It was stamped on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow Markers .

The designer paper is from Basic Grey's Bittersweet 6 x 6 paper pad. I added some Robin's Nest Dew Drops for a little balance and texture.

Thanks for stopping by today. I will be back soon!

The stamp is Penny Black's Cheesecake Party . I stamped it on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored using Tombow Markers and a damp paint brush.
