I had to take a break from the computer - after all the uploading, editing, posting during the release party, and now uploading and posting all these blog samples I've spent HOURS on the computer tonight!!
I was so excited to get Lisa's debut Papertrey sets - she did such a fabulous job on it and I hope my samples do it justice!! I can't wait to play with it some more.
For this sample I stamped the large line flower image onto white cardstock and colored it in with Copic markers before cutting it out. I then stamped the stem onto Spring Moss CS, colored it in then adhered the flower with dimensionals.
The sentiment was created with the Flower Garden Sentiments set (such a cute little set and a steal for only $5!) then punched out with a circle punch.
I stamped just the grid-line stamp from the Guide Lines stamp set onto the Berry Sorbet card base.
The hole in the Spring Moss CS was made with my MM Ribbon Slot Punch.
This card is SO simple - but it's one of my favorites from all the samples I made.
I got inspired from a commercial MONTHS ago and jotted a card idea down in my notebook, and when I was thinking of what samples to make with the Flower Garden set I thought I'd try out my idea and see what happened - this was the result!
I cut strips from 6 of Papertrey's cardstocks, and adhered them side by side to a white card base.
I then took this flower from the Flower garden set and stamped it onto a transparency strip with White Stazon ink - I rotated the flower a bit each time I stamped it.
Then to attach the transparency to the card I pierced holes through each of the flower centers and attached them with a white brad. And that's it!
I debated adding a sentiment as I love the font of the ones in the flower garden set (and the little sentiment set), but I think it looks better as is. When I need to I'll just stamp a sentiment on the inside.
I really love how this card turned out - and in real life the transparency is clear and not dark like it is in the picture - it's wicked hard to get a good shot of something CLEAR!
I'm thinking this is going to be a GREAT type of card for me to make and use up a bunch of scraps!!
OK now I'm off to bed as it's well after midnight here and I have a lot to get done tomorrow!
