inspired by a t-shirt

Last week, while out and about, I saw a woman wearing a top that caught my eye. It was kind of a dip-dye style, white at the top, fading into a darker orange towards the bottom, but it also had a black & white line print all over it. It kind of reminded me of something from a coloring book, which then reminded me of this great designer series paper that we had last summer, I think. So I came up with this super-simple card:

Stamps: NONE!
Ink: Rich Razzleberry
Paper: Sweet Sugarplum cardstock, Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper
Accessories: sponges, Wink of Stella brush on the bee

Cut the background paper to size, use a sponge to add color to the paper, building up to full coverage at the bottom. Add Wink of Stella to the bee to sort of jazz him up. Ta da!

Tap tap tap...

You know, it's been forever since I even stamped, but every so often I ink up a stamp and tap it onto paper. How about I post the cards I've made in the last couple of days?

First up:

(All supplies used came from Stampin' Up!)

Stamp set: Eastern Beauty

Ink: Lemon-Lime Twist, Dapper Denim, Tranquil Tide

Paper: Lemon-Lime Twist, Dapper Denim, Smoky Slate card stock, Eastern Palace specialty designer paper

Accessories: Eastern Gold vinyl stickers, Eastern Medallions Thinlits dies

Fairly simple, just a touch of shiny with the sticker on the designer series paper.

Next up:

Stamp set: Tuscan Vineyard

Ink: Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler; Tuxedo Black Memento ink pads; Soft Sky, Wild Wasabi, Always Artichoke, Garden Green markers

Paper: Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White card stock

Accessories: Crumb Cake woven ribbon, Glitter Enamel Dots, Stampin Dimensionals

My next trick will be to make something sooner than 10 years from now. Let's see how that goes, eh?
