Now that I've made all of the formal introductions, let's get onto the projects!
I decided to keep things fairly simple with my first card and play around with the new Morning By Morning dies and paper piecing.
I die-cut the vine from Simply Chartreuse cardstock and stamped it with the coordinating image in the same ink color. The flowers were cut from Melon Berry cardstock and stamped with a combination of Berry Sorbet and Fresh Snow inks. Tiny adhesive pearls accent the flower centers.
The sentiment from Keep It Simple: Just Because is heat embossed with White Filigree Embossing Powder onto a strip of Melon Berry cardstock.
The sentiment strip is layered under the vine for more dimension and depth. Everything is adhered to a crisp white card base.
For my next project, I was excited to try a bit of watercoloring with these beautiful morning glory images.
I stamped the vines with Limeade Ice, followed by the blooms in Plum Pudding and Lavender Moon. I added detail to the leaves with Copic Markers. By using a watercolor brush to add a bit of moisture to all of the images, I was able to get this nice soft watercolor look.
I really wanted the sentiment to pop, even on top of the dark purple flowers, so I die-cut the sentiment from Graceful Greetings in white cardstock and stamped it with the coordinating image in True Black.
I love the look of this and how the vines just look like they are crawling across the cover! I can see doing lots of different color schemes!
For my last card today, I just have a simple design for the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. These would be super easy to mass produce and I love that little festive touch of glitter.
I stamped the apple in Pure Poppy and Simply Chartreuse inks. Then added the honey dipper in Classic Kraft and the honey in Summer Sunrise. A 2-way glue pen allowed me to add just a little adhesive to the dipper and adhere Prisma glitter.
I added the sentiment underneath in True Black ink. Using a ruler and black pen, I drew a little frame around the sentiment.
