Make It Monday #243: Ink Blending Over Heat Embossing

Make It Monday #243: Ink Blending Over Heat Embossing. Using Rustic White cardstock as a base, I stamped the Mat Stack 4 from Modern Wood Mats with Versamark and then heat embossed the images with clear embossing powder. Then I blended Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink over them. The Just for You sentiment and laurel are from the Lovely Laurels mini kit and the fox and rabbit cutouts are from the Wee Folk mini kit.

March 2016 Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

Today is Papetrey Ink's March 2016 Blog Hop. I stitched "hello" using Papertrey Ink's Quick Stitch Sentiments hello die in Rustic Cream Twine (more visible in person, especially because of the texture). The pattern is stamped with lots of flowers from Peonies On Parade, then colored with Distress Markers (Spun Sugar, Tattered Rose and Squeezed Lemonade) then masked  and stamped with the lace stamp from Waltzingmouse Stamps Faux Fun with Ranger Coffee Archival Ink, then the background was painted with Stormy Seas ink smooshed on nonstick craft mat applied with an aqua brush.

The teapot is still naked, so I decided to do a little stamping (Peonies on Parade by Papertrey Ink) colored with some Distress Markers currently lounging over my favorite Tim Holtz Grid Block. I managed to twist my right knee and the doctor says rest it and see how it feels in a week, so my energy for stamping has gone through the roof.

Spring is in the Air

The base is Papertrey Ink's Stormy Sea stamped with the ticket from Tim Holtz' The Journey set with Stormy Sea ink and Wendy Vecchi's Vintage Lace stamp with Picket Fence Distress Ink (also used to distress the top of the card. The sentiment is from Tulip Time. The Doily Details die cut is stamped with Altenew's Vintage Roses (stamped in Lovely Lady, Autumn Rose, and Scarlet Jewel inks). There are also two fussy cut roses attached with layers of foam tape over Papertrey Ink's Fresh Snow Velvet Ribbon (I might be addicted to this). Crystal sequins for the finishing touch.

Inside, I stamped the set of three from Tulip Time and attached a Spiral Notebook Page die cut (from Patterned Vellum) stamped with sentiments from Inside & Out: Well Wishes attached with my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher with the staples colored gold with Ranger's Gold Alcohol Ink.

A Birthday Card

A Birthday Card for someone who loves dogs and Mint Julep green. Velvet Ribbon, Mat Stack 4 polka dot background (stamped with Mint Julep), Come All Ye Faithful (with the dog's coat stamped with Vintage Jadeite) and my favorite sentiment from Stylish Sentiments: Birthday.

The inside is stamped with some banners and sentiments from Hooray. The banners in Mint Julep and the sentiments with Onyx Black VersaFine ink.

I have little experience with tea cozies or pattern making, but apparently that doesn't deter me lol. Fingers crossed as the project is wayyy over due.
