Our first featured stamp set today is Simple Flowers by Tami Mayberry:
Inspired by Melanie's "All 8 colors" card here, I used all 8 new Color Companion ink pad colors, plus existing Ocean Mist AND almost all of the stamps in this sweet set on this card!
These are the ink colors in order from the top left: Turquoise Sea, Passionate Pink, Grass Green, Sweet Mango with Sweet Corn on each side, Blue Raspberry below the Sweet Mango, then Bubblegum and the Ocean Mist. All were stamped onto Gina’s Ivory Heavy Base Weight Cardstock.
The fantastic zig-zag stitches and hello sentiment from this set were both stamped in the gorgeous new deep, dark Black Onyx Color Companions ink – I love how dark this black is! And I'll be reaching for this zig-zag stitch a LOT! The tiny black flower stamp is from Becky’s Bold Blooms set. The panel’s corners were rounded and it is popped up on foam tape over the Black Onyx Heavy Base Weight Cardstock base.
Our next featured set today is Stamp it Big 2 by Carolyn King:
The square part of the house inspired me to incorporate a square photo I recently created of my youngest daughter, for this 6x6 scrap page:
I printed the photo to fit just inside the stamped lines of the bottom of the house, then stamped the roof with Gina’s new Grass Green Color Companion ink pad onto patterned paper, cut it out and popped it up on foam tape over the photo. The roof trim was colored with Copic YG23.
Those fabulous large sentiments, banner and bird were stamped with the new Passionate Pink Color Companions ink pad onto patterned paper (My Mind’s Eye Memorable 6x6):
(The speech bubble is the negative space left over from another die cutting session – I just positioned it over the stamped “You”). The bird’s heart was colored in with Copic R85 marker and Pink Atyou Spica Glitter Pen and her eye was made with Black Spica Glitter Pen. The arrow and butterfly from this set were stamped with Ocean Mist Color Companion ink pad and the cloud (from Beth’s Weather or Not set) was stamped with Turquoise Sea ink pad onto patterned paper and hand trimmed. Most all of the elements are popped up on foam tape.
