Since I live in Lexington, Ky, this set really called out to me. I started with a background using the Tin background folder. Then I stamped the horse, masked it off and added the blue using a stamp from Artisan Textures. After removing the mask, I colored the horse with Stampin Blends and added the sentiment. This idea was really inspired by this card…
This is Beautiful You, in a drawn frame with the same kind of background stamping. Hugs, Fran
I’ve been cleaning my stamp supplies and came across this stencil that I think was a freebie in a magazine. I sponged it with Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango and Tempting Turquoise. Then I stamped the girl over the stenciled paper in Versafine and embossed it with clear embossing powder. To make the girl stand out a bit I painted over her with Clear Wink of Stella.
The hint of sparkle gives her just enough …..something…..to stand out. Sparkle? I used my Signo gel pen to add some accents around her. I am hooked on this color combo for the moment! Hugs, Fran
Splashes of color make this gal look like she’s dancing in the sunshine. I splashed the color on Shimmery White card stock – drying it between each color – and then stamped the Beautiful You girl in Stazon. The little splatters are from Avant Garden. Colors used are Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, and Tangerine Tango.
For this card, I did the same technique using Pool Party, Island Indigo and Soft Sky. The splatter is done in Soft Sky. It’s addicting! Hugs, Fran
This Beautiful You card was done with ink and an aqua painter. Very simple water coloring and the sentiment on vellum. The background is just a light wash of Pool Party. The Daffodil Delight umbrella really stands out! Hugs, Fran
The Occasions catalog and Sale a bration start tomorrow and I think this set – Beautiful You – will be a winner! These are some of my first samples. The larger “squiggle” image fits on her dress! Simple stamping at it’s best!
Or some paper piecing for her dress in a monochromatic color scheme. The polka dot paper is from Pop of Pink – so I added a pink belt to her outfit. Easy! Hugs, Fran
