I managed to get all my stamps from the Heirloom show mounted and cataloged. I finished up this morning. And, had time to make a few more samples using the Lynne Perrella - Paper Artsy . I have two finished projects, but I got carried away stamping....are you surprised?! I will show you everything. Let's start with this card.
Materials List for all Projects:
Lynne Perrella - Paper Artsy stamps - Lovely Hats
Seashells with Round frame -Blockheads
Seashells with Rectangle frame -Blockheads
Inks:
Memento- Gray Flannel, Rhubarb Stalk, Rich Cocoa, Tuxedo Black
Versa Magic- Niagara Falls, Pink Petunia
Distress Inks- Frayed Burlap, Forest Moss, Tattered Rose, Spun Sugar, Vintage Photo
I started by stamping the Round frame with Niagara Falls ink, and then the Ship Hat lady in Gray Flannel.
Add some stamped sea shells. I made four different samples using the same inks on different colors of CS. The card above is made with the White CS sample. I saved the other pieces for later.
I wanted a bit of texture on the white CS so....
I sponged on some Frayed Burlap. Then added Forest Moss with the regular Ranger applicator.
The piece was layered on bright green and black CS. I added a scrap of gauze fabric, black lace, ribbon, and large pearls.
The second finished project is made in the same way-by stamping the Rectangle frame with Pink Petunia and the Lady with Rhubarb Stalk.
And, here are the other samples I made.
Stamp some script with Rich Cocoa. So, again, I wanted to add some texture and I just happened to have a piece of Crinkle CS laying on the table......
I pounced the ink onto the Crinkle CS and them press the CS into the cream CS. See what neat lines this made. Distress with Tattered Rose, Spun Sugar, and Vintage Photo. Use the Crinkle CS as a layering piece.
I gathered a piece of sheer fabric to make a rosette like thingy, and added a clock metal piece.
Whew, that was a long post. Hope I did not over load you!
