Guest Designer at My Stamp Box

Exciting news to share today. I was asked to be guest designer at My Stamp Box. Check out all their wonderful stamp sets.  


I used THIS stamp set. 



I made a banner for my sister's wedding shower. Her colors are purple and yellow and so I made the pennants alternating colors. For each pennant I added a flower or two in the different shades of yellow and purple.  



For this pennant I heat embossed the flower stamped image on vellum and cut it out. To give it a yellow appearance I colored the back with a Copic marker. Same thing for the leaf next to it.


I used the same embossing technique on the S pennant but with some shading in purple. You can get such a different look using your Copics.


For my next project I learned a technique from Jennifer McGuire that worked perfect with this stamp set. Check out the link for a video tutorial she made on this technique.


I stamped the back of the large flower stamp in white craft ink, heat set it; stamped the back of the smaller flower on top of the white in aqua; then stamped the front (normal way of the image) of the smaller stamp with white ink on top of  the aqua. That was a mouth full. 
I masked the flower off and did the same thing with the leaves. It's a fun look.


Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to visit My Stamp Box to view my bio and come back next Tuesday, July 2 (what? it's July next week) to see my other projects using the same stamp set. You will like them.

Your banner must have taken you ages to make, but it was worth all of your efforts, it looks amazing. Your card is very pretty, the white ink on the aqua looks very effective.

Thank you for sharing your projects with all of us at Crafty Boots Challenges.
