Well Hello There,

Whew!  I had been put down completely by a respiratory virus.  Nasty illness that was.  Took two rounds of antibiotics to start feeling human again.   If you come down with it, run, don’t walk to your doctor.  Believe me you will not shake it without medication.   Any how, I am back and ready to stamp and create.  Feels so very good to be back in my office.   Funny how we take these things for granted until we can’t do them.

Today, I picked a new set from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini Catalog (Take It to Heart) and one from the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Catalog (Fresh Vintage) to use in my project.   The fresh Vintage set is one that you can get for free with a Fifty Dollar order.  Gotta love beautiful free stamps!

Cut a 3.75″ circle from Whisper White card stock using the Big Shot Machine and Clear Circle Die.

Brayered Daffodil Delight ink on 3/4 of the card stock.

 

Brayered Calypso Coral ink over the Daffodil Delight ink without covering it completely.

Brayered Pool Party ink at the top of the card stock.

Colored just the kids on the bike using a Basic Black marker and then huffed on the stamp and stamped it on the card stock.

Sponged Lucky Limeade ink at the bottom of the card stock up to the bike.

Stamped the Take it to Heart flower stamp using Basic Black ink.

Sponged Basic Black ink around the main image panel edge.

Cut a 5″ x 6.5″ piece of Pool Party card stock and sponged Basic Black ink around the edges.

Added two panel of Everyday Enchantment Stampin’ Up! Designer Series paper.   One 4.50″ x 6″ and one 4″ x 5.5″.

Using the Mat Pack, added Pierced holes around the edge of the center panel.

Drew a line from one pierced hole to the next using a Basic Black marker to create faux stitching.

Stamped the small heart using Basic Black ink 4 times on Whisper White card stock and cut them out.  Adhered them to the corners of the faux stitching.    Added Basic Black ribbon and two Everyday Enchantment brads.

 

A little note:  When I plan on using designer series paper (DSP) in a project, I pick the paper out first and then pull my scene colors out of the paper.  🙂  Makes for much easier matching.

May your day be filled fun and laughter.

Until my next post. . . . .  . . .
