I Brake for Fuchsia's

Good morning peeps....Beth here again  this week to inspire you I hope.....today I went out of my comfort zone making my own background using Distress Inks, and 3 stamps from I Brake for Stamps.

To begin my card I stamped the Fuchsia Border Stamp on white card stock using embossing ink next added white embossing powder hit it with the heat gun till the image  set....I then sponged three colors of distress inks to my background...next I used The Postcard Background stamp to layer over my Fuchsia....lastly I cut my title out and used the Happy Birthday stamp from Botanical Stamp Sheet....I wasn't too happy with the blank areas of the border stamp so used some SU markers to color them in.....hope you have enjoyed my card today, will be back next week.

I Brake for Springtime and Pansies.

Good morning peeps, Beth here with another card using the beautiful Jumbo Pansies from IBFS....Pansies are one of my favorite flowers and they always spell spring for me.......had so much fun doing this card.

My card uses the Whitewash Technique by Melanie Muenchinger.....love the look of this tech...looks like I have stamped on vellum.....I stamped the image twice using ranger embossing ink added white embossing powder then the fun began....I next took a aqua brush added watered down white craft ink to my images after I was happy with that I next did the same thing with some colored ink pads to add just a little color.......finally added some beads and pearls to the centers of the flowers.....a cute little hummingbird outline sticker that I colored.....this is a definite re-do technique.

Hope you have enjoyed my post today and I will see you next week.

Hugs

Beth
