Juicy Foliage (the lighter end) Use Fresco Vesuvian Ash to stamp
Bamboo stamp randomly 3 times. Do the same for Crepe Myrtle with
Pearlescent Beige Brillance;
stamp Cinnamon Fern with Fresco Olive Grove once. Use the same
inks and stamps andstamp each on the Shrink Plastic, punching
a hole in each. Use the Coffee Bean Brilliance and the word stamps
to stamp randomly over the design. Cut a piece of sage cardstock
3/8" larger than outside dimensions of labels. Starting
from one end of the label sheet, peel backing and expose a row
of labels. Press on sage cardstock leaving a scant 1/8"
border. Continue until all of the labels are transferred. Cut
a brown layer 1/4" larger than the sage. The cream layer
is 1" larger with each layer under it being 1/4" and
1/2" larger. After adhering all of the layers, cut a piece
of cardboard and adhere to the back. Trim plastic for the front.

First I brayered glossy card stock with Kaleidacolor Creole Spice
rainbow dye ink in a diagonal pattern. Then I stamped the Enchanted
Ink image #1446-N (Morning Glory) in black Memories ink onto
my brayered background.
I then trimmed this piece to fit onto the center of purple card
stock. The stars were punched from the brayered glossy card stock
also. I cut a two inch piece of green card stock to use as a
"binding" decorative edge piece.
I also cut the right edge of the purple card stock with Fiskers
decorative scissors and then added black memories ink to the
edges.
For a final touch I added the piece of multicolored fibers along
the edge of my binding. |
"Celestial Faerie"
Stamp Artist Heather Adams |

"Falling"
Stamp Artist Frances Jones |
Supplies used:
clear shrink plastic
Memories black dye ink
Krylon leafing pens in copper and gold
Oval punch, bare tree punch, and leaf punch
gold and copper leafing sheets
double stick tape
fleur de lis corner punch
Aleenes paper glaze(for the shrink art)
foiling glue
Antiquities "chinese red" embossing powder
versamark pad
glitter gel pens
colored pencils
patterned paper
cardstock
Enchanted Ink images #1167 & |
Instructions:
First, you cut out two squares of cardstock-one larger for the
background, and one smaller for the middle. You then use the
corner punch on the smaller of the two squares. I then stamped
the image 1167 on the middle of the smaller square with Memories
black. Then using your versamark pad, use the flowered portion
of the 1158 stamp to stamp a border around the smaller square-around
the other image, then emboss using the chinese red embossing
powder. Then color image using colored pencils and highlighting
with some glitter gel pens in places.
I then punched out one oval, 6 leaf shapes, and two bare trees
out of the clear shrink plastic, stamping the head portion of
stamp #1167 onto the oval piece. Bake and cool, then color one
tree and 3 of the leaves with the gold Krylon leafing pen, and
the other tree and 3 leaves with the copper leafing pen (coloring
both sides of the punched pieces seems to make the color more
vibrant). I then painted some foiling glue onto the stamped side
of the oval then leafed it with gold leafing sheets when tacky.
It looks better if you apply the leaf and glue to the same side
you stamped your image on, otherwise you get a sort of 3-dimensional
image(which you may like better!). I then stamped out 6 more
leaves using the patterned paper. To leaf the outside edges of
the larger square, I applied some double stick tape ( I used
Peel n Stick, which can be found in the sewing department of
craft stores) and adhered little pieces of the gold and copper
leaf for a variegated look. Brush off excess, then adhere inner
square to background using double stick tape. I then adhered
the punched and colored shrink art and patterned papers to the
outside of the smaller square. |
