Just one more day until Canada Day and ughhhh…it’s still raining. Seriously…I think this is the wettest June that I can remember. At least everything is nice and green and I haven’t had to do much watering. I WOULD like it to clear up a bit so we can hit the beach tomorrow….but who knows?
I have a couple of cards to share with you today. We’re going with lots of black today. I think it was the elegance of the stamps that inspired me in that direction. These two designs use stamps from the All Things Considered line by CHF.
Ever After
This first card was actually based on a CPS sketch from a few weeks ago. I love these Jenni Bowlin mini papers..they are so much fun to work with on cards.
Stamps: Botanical Bliss
Ink: Black Memento Ink byTsukineko
Paper: Black cardstock bay Bazzill, Simply Smooth Vanilla by CHF, 4×4 mini patterned papers by Jenni Bowlin
Other: sewing machine, ribbon by May Arts, gaffer tape by 7 Gypsies, 1 1/2 ” circle punch, Copic markers
Black & White Wish
I went for bold and black on this card. So many times I color and embellish but the stamps are so beautiful on there own, it was a fun exercise just to play around with design and texture and leave color totally out of this project.
Quick Tip: Anchor a corsage pin in chipboard for a different look.
