Amazing Paper Grace

If you’ve visited much since I began blogging, you may have noticed that I have a fondness for Wordsworth stamps.  I have a small collection and it’s been a dream come true to actually use them.  I have many more to go, but once I’m done you can rest assured that I’ll casually mention to my husband that I’ve used them up and perhaps it’s time to get more….(smiles innocently). 

The card is 7" tall by 3.5" wide – I know, how odd!   I finally found a way to work in the Memory Box – Sprout paper from my stash!  Lastly the bridal flowers from Michaels were originally too stark to use as they were, so I shaded them with V01 Copic. 

Supplies:
Stamps:  Wordsworth, KT Designs
Paper:  Memory Box – Sprout; Bazzill
Ink:  SU Elegant Eggplant
Accessories:  Ribbon; Dew Drops; Michael’s Brides Flowers; Martha Stewart Punch; Copics

As always, thank you for stopping by.  I so appreciate all the sweet, sweet comments that are left and feel blessed to know you take a moment out of your day to visit.

Another choice of stamp from my short stack.  I’ve been trying to think of a different way to work with this stamp and today, with much trepidation, I pulled out my brayer.  We were slightly reacquainted, but there  is still a lot of bonding to do.  On this card I really played it safe with that brayer because I’m not so much at home with using it.  First, I stamped with Black Brilliance then embossed with clear embossing powder.   I masked off the sky and brayered in the mountains, then masked the mountains, laid down a dot for the sun and brayered over it with SU Bordering Blue.  I pulled up the masking dot and colored the shape with So Saffron and More Mustard.

The image on this second card was fished out of the garbage at my daughters insistence; she maintained that she like it better than the other……go figure.  This card was colored with chalks.  Note to self:  once you chalk over already heated, clear embossing powder, the chalk does not come off.
