Painted Harvest

This shelf makes me so happy…it showcases the Painted Harvest Bundle which my clubs worked with this month.
Painted-Harvest-3You really cannot comprehend how beautiful these stamps are until you start stamping with them. The textures on the overlapping images are stunning. Try them in multiple color combinations…which ones do you like the best?

This framed image is cased right from the Holiday Catalogue.
Painted-Harvest-5A little tip when you stamp the leaves in a circular pattern…punch out a circle first and lightly trace it onto your piece of Whisper White Cardstock. Stamp the leaves on top of that pencil line. This makes it much easier to get it looking like a wreath. :) I stamped the first layer in Lemon Lime Twist and then the second layer in Garden Green. It is embellished with the Touches of Nature Elements and the 1/4″ Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon.  The Painted Harvest Bundle includes the Leaf Punch which makes it super quick to create layers of leaves on your project. What a beautiful accent to any display this October.

Check out this card from the oh so talented Kathy Lovell using the spotlighting technique:
Painted-Harvest-4 The pop of color on the black and gray images is quite effective. This set is so versatile.

Technique Tuesday 3…on a Wednesday

Sorry…I’m a day behind the Technique Tuesday post. That’s what happens on vacation. I want to share a spotlighting technique using the Jar of Love stamp set.

THIS set is my favorite by far!! We LOVE mason jars at this house…well, the girls do anyways. We drink out of various sizes of these jars, we paint them, we use them for storing things, we make salads in them…you get the idea. So in honor of Samantha’s love of mason jars, we had them out at her bridal shower last weekend.mason-jar-1I’ll show you a couple of the cards we made for her next week, but for now I  wanted to show you the technique one. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card. The use of the white ink on this card is brilliant.mason-jar-2First, the white craft ink is sponged on to make a cool background.

Second, the white craft ink is sponged around the THANK YOU greeting. It really makes it pop.

Thirdly, the jar is die cut out of night of navy cardstock and clear embossed. The white ink is sponged around the inside edges of the jar to give the jar some depth.

Finally, check out the firefly. Dab white ink onto the jar with a sponge dauber. Then use copper embossing powder to emboss the firefly. The white circle highlights the firefly image. How cool is that?!
