WIldflower Meadow - Faux Canvas

This is one of the cards we completed at my Technique class this month.

I have used markers to ink up the beautiful Wildflower Meadow background stamp. It was stamped onto Very Vanilla card stock. I used the Black Stampin' Marker to add the eye to the bird.

After leaving it to dry for just a minute, I ran a line of Crystal Effects along one edge. You just need to use a toothbrush then to 'brush' the Crystal Effects across the card stock in one direction. 

It doesn't take long to dry, because you are only applying a thin coat. You then need to run another line of Crystal Effects along the adjoining edge - and use the toothbrush again to brush it out into the opposite direction to the first.

The effect is good and it does look like you have stamped onto a piece of canvas.

I finished the card off with a length of the lovely Primrose Petals Stitched Satin Ribbon.

Sneak Peek - Wildflower Meadow - Card and Box set

This was the last of my projects for the display I created at our recent UK Regional Training day.

I have used the Wildflower Meadow stamp again, but this time I've also used some of the fabulous Gingham Garden Washi Tape.

I used Stampin' Markers to match the colours in the Washi Tape to ink up the stamp. The large flower heads were stamped again and cut out to layer on top of the main image.

Because the tape is sticky, it can be a bit tricky to cut. So I put strips of it onto waxed paper before cutting the flag ends. 

This little box is one of our Kraft Gift Boxes.

I repeated the stamping from the card for the top of the box and added little strips of the Washi Tape to co-ordinate.

The sides were covered with paper from the Polka Dot Parade DSP.

Sneak Peek - Wildflower Meadow - Scrapbook Page

Last month Stampin' Up! held their UK Regional Training Day at Telford. It's a fabulous day where Demonstrators from all over Europe can get together.

Stampin' Up! asked me to do a display focusing on some of the new products coming soon in our new Annual Catalogue. They sent me the gorgeous Wildflower Meadow stamp and a pack of the new Gingham Garden Washi Tape to use for this.

My first project was a 12" x 12" Scrapbook page. 

I inked up the stamp using my Stampin' Markers and repeat stamped it across the bottom of the page - lining up the images using my Stamp-a-ma-jig. I only wanted the flowers stamped, so using the markers was the easiest way to do this.

I stamped the larger flower heads again onto scrap Whisper White cardstock. These were cut out and layered using Dimensionals onto the full images. I then added Basic Pearls to all the flower heads.

The Pacific Point (blue) strip across the top was stamped with the full image across it. Again, I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to ensure the birds where stamped where I wanted them :o)

These gorgeous flowers were created using the Creped Filter Paper. I cut 8 layers out for each (you can cut all the layers in one go) using the Floral Frames Framelits. These I then scrunched up and coloured with Sponge Daubers and the ink pads before carefully opening the petals out. 

The large flowers were held together with an Antique Brad and the little flowers with the brads from the Vintage Trinkets.

The leaves were created using the Secret Garden Framelits.

I haven't used the Washi Tape on this project ..... but you can see what I did with it soon :o)
