Yup, its that time of month again!! Stamper’s Club. Jut to tell you how out of it I am, I thought it was last week. I was sick with a flu/cold? as well as the children. I went around making calls that it would be canceled until one of my nice ladies informed me that we did not have Stampers Club on Friday, and that it was next week. Oh well, at least that alleviated the guilt as I called all those machines back and left messages again telling everyone to disregard my last message lol. Forgot May had 5 Fridays in it.
Ok, so about the card now:
stamps: Wild About You, Stitched BG
Paper: Confetti Cream, Ruby Red, Old Olive, Whisper White
Ink: Mustard, Summer Sun, Pumpkin, Old Olive, Ruby Red, Garden Green
Other: Wide Olive Grosgrain ribbon, Pop-up dots, Penny
I wanted to create an unusual combo of stamps for this card. My inspiration was some common elements found in the art of India. If you look at their art, you see a lot of warm bright spice colors, as well as a border of flowers, vines and images surrounding the focal image. In this case the Stitched BG was perfect to create that rich border. It was colored in with Blender pens, and two colors of ink for each element. I kept the colors fairly soft compared to my inspirations. The lion was stamped 3 times. Once on the whisper white mat and the head twice on scraps. Wild about you was stamped using the stamp-ma-jig. Then the face was cut out after it was adhered to the Olive mat. The main was cut out of the orange layer, and the face out of the mustard. The penny was placed below the hole of the original image and a pop up dot reinforced with crystal effects was placed on top. The Orange head was adhered with the pop-up and then the mustard face popped up on to the orange. This is the Tilt technique featured recently on Splitcoast. Everything was then put together. Stay tuned for my next project from Stampers Club.
Hugs,
