This is one of the more involved cards we've done in my Techniques classes. We used the "Faux Aged Paper" technique using lemon juice and the heat gun on Naturals Ivory card stock. Stamps from Stamp of Authenticity, Define Your Life, and the Linen background stamp, all from Stampin' Up!, were used. The card stock is Chocolate Chip, Naturals Ivory, Always Artichoke, Kraft, and Purely Pomegranate. We also used Always Artichoke Designer Series Paper and Antique Brass Hodgepodge Hardware. Oh, yep, there's a little bit of twill tape on the right side too.
I love Kristina's style, very clean and simple, but never boring! If you haven't been there already, check out her blog: http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/
I need to run now, but I'll try to post a card soon...
This card is one of two we did in my most recent Techniques Class, which was "Chalkboard Technique" and "Poppin' Pastels". Also, I'm doing some of these for my convention swaps... WHAT was I thinking! This isn't the quickest card for mass-production! Luckily I've had some help from my daughter, Ellen, and her friend Frankie for the swaps. Thanks Girls!!!
Well, you may recognize this page if you saw my earlier Friends Page (March 2008). My clubs liked that page so much I decided to reinvent it using current Stampin' Up! products. For this one I used Rose Red card stock instead of Purely Pomegranate (couldn't get enough of just that color in 12 x 12 for my clubs), the same Pumpkin Pie Designer Series papers, and the Pumpkin Pie Die Cut Blooms. I sponged the die cuts and layered them with Rose Red and Chocolate Chip punched flowers and circles to create my various flowers.
Décor Elements, Stampin' Up!'s new product line of adhesive wall vinyl images, are now available to order!!! Check out the intital offering: http://www.stampinup.com/us/documents/decorelements_web.pdf
This is another Split Negative Technique sample I created for my class in May. I used the flower from Touch of Nature and the "simple" definition from the Define Your Life set. Black and white card stock, white embossing powder and black ink make this card simple yet striking. A bit of tafeta ribbon softens the look and paper pierced corners add a bit of detail.
