So right now as I type this several of my Stampin' friends are enjoying their last day at the annual Stampin' UP! Leadership Conference. January is always a busy month around here so I have never been able to attend in the past, and I was really hoping for this year but unfortunately it just didn't work out:( However I know that I will hear all about it and am excited for some new and exciting changes that that been announced.
I was fortunate enough to be asked along with the other Artisan Award Winners to create some samples for displays. This was such a privilliage and I am so excited to now be able to share them here. Trust me it was hard to not share these sooner as I had started working on them back in the begining of November. I decided to share a scrapbook page first as scraping is definately my first love, although I find I have not been doing enough of it lately.
This picture is of my youngest daughter Isabelle. I just love this photo and knew it would work perfectly for the Sale a Bration (SAB) Fresh Vintage Stamp Set. We were asked to make several different projects for each of the stamp sets that we were given and to make them the focus. I stated with an 8x8 piece of Textured Riding Hood Red Card stock and stamped the floral image all over then using some Tea Stain Ink (Destressing Essentials Kit) I sponged around the edges.
On the actual photo itself using Stazon Ink I stamped two more of the images from the set, then matted it onto some Baja Breeze that had been destressed around the edges. Again using Riding Hood Red Ink I stamped the floral image, this time on some First Edition DSP. The word daughter is from the set Family Reunion and was stamped on a a piece of Very Vanilla Textured punch out, spritzed with water then using the Tea Stain Ink I dragged it across the paper. I then added a Postage Stamp Punch out from the Everday Enchantment DSP (SAB), some Basic Gray Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and a little Trinket Key. Lastly I stamped "key to my heart" from You're a Gem.
Supplies used:
Stamps: Fresh Vintage, You're a Gem, Family Reunion
Ink: StazOn Jet Black, Riding Hood Red, Basic Gray, Tea Stain
Paper: Riding Hood Red Textured, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla Textured, First Edition Designer Series Paper, Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper
