Cajun Craze Rustic Centerpiece


Hi Stampers, the card I have to share tonight was made for the Art With Heart InstaHop featuring Cajun Craze.


I stamped the Sunflower image in Memento Black ink on Very Vanilla card stock and coloured with Blends Markers. The colours I used are listed below. The greeting is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. I wanted the two rows of text to be on separate strips so I stamped them separately.
 

The image was cut out with Everyday Arches Dies, and mounted on a larger arch from Cajun Craze card stock. The background DSP is from the Boho Vibes pack. There' a piece of Linen Thread wrapped around the bottom of the image.

Blackberry Bliss Mixed Florals

 The card I am sharing with you today was used for the Art With Heart Team InstaHop a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately my computer was misbehaving at the time, hence the delay in posting it.

For this card I stamped the tulip image from the Mixed Florals Bundle in Versamark on Fluid 100 Water Colour Paper and heat embossed in Gold Embossing powder. I coloured with a Water Painter and inks in Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive and Flirty Flamingo.


I shaded the piece of background paper from Regal Distressed Specialty DSP with a Blending Brush and Blackberry Bliss ink.

The greeting and banner is from the Mixed Labels Bundle, and was stamped on Blackberry Bliss card stock.
