Okay so I finally got the chance to stamp, YAY:) and I am happy to say that I have a sample for this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch. We would love to have you play along we us and remember that a sketch is a great starting point to your project.
Here's my take on the sketch:
So in true style, I veered a tad from the sketch, lol! But all of the main components are there. I started with a Naturals Ivory card base and detressed the edges using the Cutter Kit and the Distressing Essentials Kit. The Designer Series Paper is from the First Edition Pack and I used Tea Stain ink (from the Distressing Essentials Kit) and misted some water on the paper to really crumple it up and to help the ink spread and run. Next I took another piece of Naturals Ivory, inked up my Vintage Wallpaper Impressions Folder with Soft Suede and ran it through mt Big Shot.
I took another piece of First Edition DSP and using my Blender Pen and some Calypso Coral Ink I lightly coloured some of the flowers. The sentiment is from the You're a Gem stamp set and I punched it out with the 3/4 x 15/16" Oval punch. I finished it off with a tiny button brad from the Vintage Trinkets. For the label behind the se3ntiment I used one of the sizzlets from Lots of Tags and separated some Soft Suede card stock for a Faux sueded look. I also did the same thing to the pice of Calypso Coral card stock that is behind the tag. Lastly I spritzed everything on the card woith the Colour Spritzer Tool and my Soft Suede Marker.
