Bouquet de Lavande

Hello!  I am again playing with flower stamps to create another floral theme card, my favorite.  I inked the Lavender stamp directly with Memento Markers using lavenders, grays, and greens and stamped on White Card stock. I have not used this technique of inking colors directly on a stamp in awhile. I filled in some of the image with Copics after stamping.  I cut an opening in a mat of lavender cardstock with a fancy oval die and then embossed the opening with a larger die creating a embossed frame around the image.  Added a Purple Satin ribbon from stash and then attached to a Purple card base.  Finished with the stamp "Bouquet de Lavande" in DOI Wilted Violet. This card was inspired by the mood board challenge at Double D.  All stamps from Power Poppy Lavender set.

Playing With Fall Leaves

 Hello!  The first card shown is made with older Gina K Design stamps from 2009 - leaf from Signs of Autumn set and sentiment from Life is Good set. I used Memento Markers Cantaloupe, Potter's Clay, Dandelion, and Pear Tart to ink up the leaf 4 times and stamped on White CS.  Sentiment stamped in Potter's Clay.  Added some scoring on outer edge of panel with image and also inked the edges.  Used white card base.

My second card uses 2 leaf stamps from GKD Signs of Autumn set (2009) and a sentiment from GKD Always Autumn( 2014).   I stamped the leaves randomly with Memento Potter's Clay, Rhubarb Stalk, Morocco, and Tangelo inks.   Used a card base of Tomato Soup and mat of Sweet Mango(?) both GKD CS. Matted the stamped sentiment with the same CS's and tied on a brown twine from Jellibean Soup.
