Rosebud slide hanger (posted by Claire)

Good morning, Claire here with another sample using this months new stamps. This time i've used the delicate little rosebud from Periwinkle Corners and Rosebud clear stamps.

I drew round a microscope slide twice and  stamped the rosebud with black archival ink and coloured with Derwent inktense pencils and added stamped a little text here and there. Inktense pencils blend beautifully and once dry, the colour doesn't seem to run so they are ideal for a project like this. I took two microscope slides and stuck them to my coloured images using glossy accents and left them overnight to dry.

Once they were thoroughly dry I cut them out and used more glossy accents to stick them together. I sealed the edges with silver embossing powder and added a glue on bail to the top and little metal corner to the bottom. The silver butterfly, little pearls and beads are from my stash.

Thanks for visiting today

Periwinkle Corner (posted by Claire)

Good morning folks, Claire here with a sample using Periwinkle Corner, one of the new clear stamps. I thought this pretty little flower would make a lovely little narcissus and set to stamping to create a frame. Clear stamps make it so easy to position the image when you're creating a frame like this.

 I stamped all the flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with distress markers. I inked liberally with lots of distress inks in yellows and greens and used some olive green card to mat and layer.

The sentiment is from Words of Comfort and Cheer, die cut with Spellbinders Marvellous Squares and inked up with distress inks. To finish off i've added some green ribbon and some paper flowers from my stash.

Thanks for popping by today

Periwinkle Corners (by Shirley)

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a great weekend.

Here in Ontario, Canada we are still looking out our windows at piles of snow, but the sun is shining and they are starting to melt.     I have a card today using one of the new clear stamp sets,  Periwinkle Corners & Rosebud, which includes three pretty & delicate designs.   

I stamped the Periwinkle Corner onto Kraft paper and coloured with my Prisma Pencils.  I used a die cut oval and blended a little Crushed Olive and Black Soot Distress Ink around the edge.   I used a stamp from Textured Fragments around the first background.   I stamped the Periwinkle again around the 2nd background on Kraft Paper with black ink & blended Crushed Olive DI again.   I added little half pearls to the centers along with glitter.

Please keep checking back as my talented Teammates have many beautiful designs that will be posted here.

Thanks for your visit and have a great day !
Shirley
