I was inspired by sweet Ms. Gina's recent blog post to find a technique on StampTV and create a project. I had a few minutes today and thought I'd give it a shot... just before time runs out to submit!
I Love You
My first card uses the emboss resist technique. The lace stamp is just gorgeous, isn't it? I've had this stamp set for awhile and not used it yet... shame on me. The soft colors of the Gossamer patterned paper were my guide for the main image.
I stamped the lace in Versamark and embossed in clear. I sponged pink and lavender ink over the embossed areas to bring out the detail of the lace. Such a wonderful technique!
And because I had a bit of extra time on my hands, I made another while I was at it...
Quilts
My second card had a bit more detail involved. I paper pieced the quilt... every bit of it. I thought I'd be cross-eyed before I was finished. But, patience pays off and I really love the eclectic mix of colors for my patchwork quilt. While the June Bug Basic Grey paper has been out for a while, it's just perfect for a homespun quilt.
I didn't completely adhere the whole quilt in place. The ends are tipped up a bit and curled to mirror a real quilt.
Thanks for visiting,
Lisa
