Hello, As promised, I'm back again today with another project using the new Shabby Spring StampTV Kit -- my April calendar:
I absolutely can NOT believe we are almost done with a fourth of the year already! Is it flying by as fast for you? But I am excited to start seeing pretty Spring green grass and flowers and that's what helped inspire this calendar. In my effort to actually use up some of those scraps I have left over from other projects (and just can't throw away!), the piece of kraft background "paper" I created with a stencil, stencil embossing paste, and airbrushed with a sunny Copic marker was the jumping off point for this project. I love it paired with my favorite Turquoise Sea Gina K Designs Color Companions cardstock color.
A piece of pretty Sweet Corn cardstock helps to accent the yellow flower centers in my kraft paper. To create the scalloped border on the bottom of the Sweet Corn background piece, I stamped the small lined leaf from the kit with Sweet Corn ink. I printed the calendar onto Layering Weight White Color Companions cardstock, to fit on the free Tiara Frame Silhouette die cut. The awesome lined flowers are from the Shabby Spring StampTV Kit, stamped in Turquoise Sea and Ocean Mist Color Companions ink onto their respective Warm Wishes free Silhouette die cuts and popped up on Copic Foam Tape.
I'm having a TON of fun with this new StampTV kit and I've only barely used part of ONE of the two over-sized stamp sets you get in the kit! My monthly Copic tutorial over at StampTV in the All About Copics Forum this month will be one of my favorite Copic techniques, using the other stamp set you get in the kit, Spring Blessings -- I hope to have that up sometime next week.
And look what you can get FREE with your kit purchase (or any other combination of stamp set purchases from Gina K Designs) this month:
What fabulous accents they would make with this kit!
Thanks so much for joining me today ... Wishing you a happy, joy-filled weekend!
