Stamping Fun Night April 2017

We had a great time at Stamping Fun Night!  The first card I demonstrated and will be sent to my dad and father-in-law in June!  The dies and embellishments are no longer available, but you could get almost the same look with all of the great stamps in this set!

This make-n-takes uses the Irresistibly Floral Specialty Designer Paper.  This paper is white with clear embossing.  It is beautiful on its own, but really pops when you use the sponge brayer to add some color!

stamps:

Watercolor Words

paper:

Night of Navy (4 ¼” x 5 ½”)

Whisper White

Irresistibly Floral Specialty Designer Paper (retiring) (4” x 5 ¼”)

TIPS:

-Ink up the brayer.  Start at one side of the designer paper each time you roll the brayer over the paper.  This will give it an ombre look.

-Use a paper towel to rub off the excess ink.  The ink won't stick to the embossed part of the paper!

The other make-n-take uses the vellum card stock to give a soft, muted look.  Although the Falling in Love Designer Paper is no longer available, there are so many pretty designer papers that would look beautiful behind a piece of vellum!  This card is quick and easy, but so elegant and pretty!
