Painted Posies

 

Check this out!

I used some awesome NEW Specialty Paper to do this technique!

 

Look how I embossed using this Berry Burst Specialty Paper from the-

#161748- White Center Specialty Paper*= $11.50- pg. 127.

*2 sheets each of- Azure Afternoon; Night of Navy; Berry Burst;

Fresh Freesia & Lemon Lime Twist

Once I embossed this I then took a sanding block

& rubbed it LIGHTLY over the embossed image!

This made the white show up on the embossed images!

NOTE:  Be sure when sanding that you rub in one directly 

& don't go back & forth, as it could rip the paper.  

 

This is one of the cards that everyone stamping with me at my 

August monthly classes will be making!

Zany Zoo Faux Shutter Technique card

 

Look at this FUN card!

I did the Fractured card or Faux Shutter Technique.

I used the 

#161304- Zoo Crew DSP= $12.50- pg. 132

 & coordinating #161315-Zany Zoo Bundle= $54.00- pg. 47.

How did I do it?

*I cut 4 different sizes of DSP.

 I used this card for my measurements to make the 4 different sized DSP pieces.

*These are the patterns I made to cut the 4 DSP pieces.

*This is what it looks like when they are all adhered to the card front.

*I added a stitched square from the Stylish Shapes Dies to the center.

*Adhere the 1/4 x 5 1/2" black strips onto the card front as shown above.

*Then take Paper Snips & cut off the excess strips.

*Notice how I used this die to cut out my words.

*I wanted them shorter- so I ran them back thru the 

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine again & it is now the perfect size for the words!

*I die cut the turtle directly from the Zoo Crew DSP.

*I then colored the turtle with Stampin' Blends-

 Light Smoky Slate; Light & Dark Lemon Lime Twist.
