Pretties with River Rock and Artichoke

This is a simple card that my clubs did back in the fall and I never posted. The card is a 3" x 6" card of River Rock. On that I layered some Designer Series Always Artichoke paper and a small strip from Le Jardin paper. I dyed the silk flower from the Pretties Kit by misting it with water and sponging River Rock ink on it. Then I added a Jumbo Eyelet (love them!!!) and tied the now retired narrow Organdy ribbon through the hole. I stamped the zig-zag from All in a Row along the bottom edge in Always Artichoke and added a saying from the now retired So Many Sayings Hostess set. I really need to get these things posted before the sets retire!

Happy Stamping!

Embrace Life with Bleach Painting

This is one of the cards we'll be making tonight in my Bleaching Techniques class. I love how this one turned out! It's pretty simple too!

I used the Embrace Life set with the Ginger Blossoms

Designer Series paper, Groovy Guava card stock, a small strip of the Textured card stock at the bottom, and just a bit of Certainly Celery DS paper. For the flower, I embossed the image on Groovy Guava with Vermark and clear powder, then used an Aquapainter filled with household bleach to paint around the stamen to create the lighten center of the flower. I cut the flower out and attached to the card using Dimensionals. Then I added a small half pearl from the Pretties Kit and a bit of Grosgrain ribbon to finish it off.

Happy Stamping!
