Last month Wendy McQuade was our Creative Ambassador and chose the background stamp Inked Floret to create with. I'm excited to share the first of her collection in soft pink and black and using the Exciting Times stamp set and coordinating punch. Using neutrals and just one other colour puts me in mind of the monochromatic card design and I love it! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us, Wendy.
Shout out to Bonnie Sanchez for today's project featuring the new Mosaic Garden Suite Collection featuring delicate flowers and pretty patterns. Even busy patterns can coordinate beautifully when the colour palette is simple and ties together. Really love this card layout with the Tile in the centre which you could change up with any other shape to highight your focal point. Enjoy!
Like this adorable patterned paper? I made it myself using stamps from the Oh My Fright stamp set, some ink, watercolour pencils and a blender pen. Why a blender pen? It helps smooth out the lines from the pencils and gives it a shiny look. So pleased with how this one turned out. One tip I like to give with this look is to have some of your images extended beyond the white layer. And fill in space between larger images with something small like the cluster of stars. Getting ready for Halloween!
Tried something new with the Sunflower embossing folder: I dragged my White Craft Ink pad down the embossed side. This added so much to the layer, don't you think? Would look great on any dark colour. Wouldn't it be great on Basic Black? Love how this turned out as did my Avid Stampers in September when we made this together.
This month's Avid class features on of our Online Exclusive products, Pretty Poinesttias. These have soooo much texture with die cutting and embossing in one pass through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine. I see these leaves as perfect for any time of year beyond Christmas Poinsettias. I usually get a red or white one but there are some gorgeous pink variations out each year. A touch of gold in the centre. Enjoy!
