Hello with Flowers

Hello!  I recently purchased the Watercolor Florals cardmaking Kit from the Artsystamper Shop which includes some beautiful digital stamps and papers.  I used the solid green paper as the card base, with a layer of blue cardstock, and then a layer of one of the floral patterns.  I printed one of the colored floral images on watercolor paper, added a bit of  coloring with Copic markers and pink foiling, and cut with a circle die.  I attached the image to a circle that I foiled with the pink foil paper.  Assembled the card and completed it with a sentiment from the kit  and pearls from my stash.  Love the colors in the design.

Artsystamper Shop Labor Day sale ends Sept 15th.

Bouquets from a Digital Garden

Hello! I just purchased the Early Spring  Beauty digital stamp set from Artsystamper at Etsy.  It is 30% off for a limited time. I just love the pre-colored images and decided to create some bouquets with them. I love to pick flowers from my garden and make arrangements....it's not much different to pick digital flowers and arrange them in a bouquet for a card. I picked all 3 flowers from the set for the top card and arranged them in a "vase" that I created and colored with a shape from Photoshop Elements.  I printed the flower arrangement on white card stock and added a bit of shading with Copics.  I simply added a sentiment from Doodled Flowers set from Happy Little Stampers using black ink. Attached this to a textured green card base.

For the next card, I "picked" 4 colored daffodils and arranged them with a vase that I created by modifying a digital image from my files.  Again I used the magic of Photoshop Elements to print the digital bouquet.  I added some shadows with Copics and a Happy Little Stampers sentiment with Distress Oxide Inks.  I trimmed the image with a fancy oval die and used an oval mat of yellow underneath and then an embossed mat of GKD Faded Brick card stock. Attached all to a white card base. I just love the bouquets that I arranged with these lovely Digital Flowers.

Wishing You Luck

Hello! Coming your way...to wish a Happy St. Paddy's Day! 

 I have been playing with Artsytstamper's Oxalis Digital set that includes patterned papers, images and sentiments.  Check out all of Beverly's beautiful art at The Artsystamper Shop.  For the top card I used the colored Oxalis image with one of the patterned papers and combined it with a digital sentiment from a Power Poppy Shamrock set. After printing the image with the patterned paper. I added a mat of yellow cardstock and a white card base. Added some sparkle to the pattern with Stardust Pen but that does not show in photo.  I did a second version of this card but added some metal confetti from my stash,. See below.

 I made another card with the same Oxalis image but used the yellow Patterned Paper with a Green card base.  The sentiment is another Power Poppy digital sentiment. Added the top hat and shamrocks from my stash of metal confetti.

Wrapping Gifts

Welcome!  I hope you all had a great New Year's Eve and I wish you much Health and Happiness in 2020!  Today I am sharing some wrapping paper and tags that I created using some Artsystamper  digital images with some neutral colored paper from my stash.  I often give sets of handmade cards as gifts in clear boxes and I needed to gift wrap them and decided to created my own design of wrapping paper using 8.5" x11".  Then I decided that I needed to add coordinated tags that I printed using the same paper and digital images.  The gift package with tag that I created is shown above. I used Photoshop to layout the designs and printed them on  paper. The Pine Cone and Pine Needles digital images that I used were free gifts available to the Artsystamper Art Group on Facebook.

Challenges to enter:

Artsystamper Digitals Challenge: #6 Wrapping Paper/Tags.  I had not planned to enter this challenge again but since we can enter 3  times, I thought this was a perfect match to enter.

Wintery Thank You

Hello! Today I have created a Clean and Simple Winter Thank You card using two free digital images so generously offered by Beverly to her Facebook group at Artsystamper Art Group.  I arranged the Pine Needles and Pine Cone images for a card using Photoshop, added a sentiment that I typed, and printed it on a textured Ivory Card Stock.  I used a mat of GKD Green CS and a Brown card base.  Finished with some touches of Liquid Pearl to the edges of the cones for texture and shine. 

Thanks to Beverly for the digital images and Happy Birthday to her. Today the 25th is her birthday.

Autumn Card

Welcome to my studio!  Today I am sharing a card that I made using digital stamps from Autumn's Gift Set by Beverly Cole at The Artsystamper Shop.  Using Photoshop I arranged the Pumpkin and Leaf stamps with sentiment(in brown) and printed on Ivory CS. I added a bit more orange with Copics to the colored images and sponged the edges of the panel with DOI Antique Linen. Attached to a card base of Dark Brown CS.  I am entering this in the Monochromatic Challenge #3 at Artsystamper Digitals Challenges - use any color, as long as it is only 1 color plus natural beiges and tans or black and white. Maybe I should have used another color for the base?
