More Template Craziness with Blockheads Stamps

Hi Dreamers!

Can you believe it?!!  I just can't stop making backgrounds with the Crafters Workshop Templates!!  Working with the templates is addicting.  There are lots of photos today and this is a long post, so I will keep the talking to a minimum.  Check out my original post for the tutorial on how I use the templates.  I used Blockhead Stamps on all the cards (there are three of them).   

Materials list for First Card:

Stamps: 

   Japanese Musicians

   Happiness Sentiment

Template:  Mini Cosmic Swirl - Crafters Workshop

Inks: 

   Ginger Adirondack-Ranger

   Black Soot Distress Ink-Ranger

Coffee Archival- Ranger

Sprays:

   Walnut Inks-Lilac and Willow

   glimmer sprays in Pink and Orange

CS: Cream, white, celery green and light cocoa

   Make three backgrounds using the Swirl template in different color spray inks.  Cut slices of the backgrounds and adhere together.  Stamp the Bamboo Tree with Coffee ink onto the backgrounds.  Add a piece of trim.  I liked the organic feel of the edges and did not want to glue them down flat.  So, I attached the stamped piece to the card base with brads.    Here is a close up

And this is what the inside look like.  The sentiment is from Blockheads.

Materials List for Second Card:

 Inspired By Nature

Template:  Mini Cubist - Crafters Workshop

Make two backgrounds with the Cubist template on cream CS.   On the background that is the least densely colored stamp the Inspire image with Stazon ink.   Color the flower with markers.  Stamp "Inspire" and the leaf on a scrap; cut out.  Color leaf with markers and add to main image.  Trim main image and add to second background piece that has been cut to size.  Tie two strips of the Rag Weaves around the piece.  Add to a card base made from olive green CS.
