"Pinspiration" Strikes Again!

Good Monday Morning, Everyone!

I found some really interesting cards on Pinterest since joining that site. There are so many techniques to try and gorgeous pieces of artwork to recreate using my Club Scrap stash.

I knew as soon as I saw the white heat embossed images on kraft colored cardstock that I wanted to make some panels using my collection of line image stamps. Once the images are embossed, you simply color them in using your favorite markers.

I chose to use stamps from the Artifacts Feb 2009 kit, Ornamental Dec 2009, Adobe Sept 2010, and Bandanarama Retreat 2009.

Here are the cards I created.

Ornamental Medallion stamp on kraft panel, white card base, red Tahiti panel, and Old World Christmas 2008 sentiment.
Artifacts and Bandanarama stamps on kraft panel, white card base, red Tahiti and red Arts and Crafts panels, and Holiday 2011 sentiments.
Adobe stamp on kraft panel, white card base, red Tahiti panel, and Holiday 2011 sentiment.
Hope you like my Pinterest inspired cards, and maybe you will be inspired to give this technique a try.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your week.









Julie

    My favorite flower has always been the daisy. It's a very common flower. It isn't fancy or high-falutin'! It's just very down-to-earth and always puts a smile on my face!

      One thing I forgot to mention, but was very helpful in creating these cards, was that I had a piece of the kraft cardstock to sample how different pen colors looked. Sort of a sample sheet. Some colors were lost on the kraft cardstock.
