Paper Crafter at large

I scored some fun things at a sale last week so wanted to play. This stamp wreath and the ef are both from that order. The image and sentiment was stamped in clear ink on turquoise cs then heat set in gold. Used inks smooched on glass mat to water color then fussy cut and attached to dry embossed white copy paper that is mounted on white cs base. Bird was die cut using Silhouette then colored black using black modeling paste. Once dry it is embellished with embossing tool and white pencil. Tucked under one petal that I used my X-acto knife to cut slit.

SPRINGTIME DESIGNER PAPER

The image was cut on the Silhouette using a stencil file of numbers cutting some designer paper that had orange base with white line flowers. Once it was cut I ran the piece through the Xyron to attach adhesive. It was then mounted on white cs that is on an other piece of designer paper that is on white cs base. To soften the orange and add some soft pink, I sponged light pink to the center of the piece. My sentiment and greenery flourish were also cut in white on my Silhouette. I added small flowers that are washi tape attached to white copy paper and fussy cut.

For the weather challenge I was trying to use the pink circle center that was sponged ink and a circle stencil then another stencil with circles in it design on top with more pink ink to have wind motion. It kind of got lost when I embossed the white copy paper with a floral spray ef that got gray ink swiped then white washed with acrylic paint. The pansies were cut on the Silhouette then colored, shaped and layers attached. My foliage layer was the wreath foiled that was cut apart, used one layer of the stencil to add pink buds and then glued on bg. The pansies were added where the gold flowers are. Sentiment was in stash. All is mounted on white cs base.

We have had wind this spring, averaging over 20mph and up to 60 – off and on for days. The green grass is pretty but I am so done with this kind of wind.

I had purchased some black foil to use in my Silhouette with the Foil Quill and had not opened the package that I got in the fall. As a remedy to that I used this svg image and the black foil on white cs. I added a small reveal to the foiled layer and then created a much larger reveal for the mat layer. Using the stencil set I sponged ink for wreath colors and added black modeling paste for the details on the last layer stencil. Once dry I glued on yellow prills to the flower centers. For the mat layer I first sponged it pink but was not happy with that so I added white acrylic paint in a white wash to the whole mat layer. Still not right I added white modeling paste through a geometric stencil. Still not the look I was going for I swiped white ink pad over the top then heat set white embossing powder and sponged pink ink on the outer most edges SUCCESS. Once these two layers were attached to a white cs base I added the gold foiled sentiment from my stash (I made a bunch up on a rainy day last week).

SHOWERS or FLOWERS

The image is a multi stamp. I stamped all the pieces in black ink on white copy paper then created an outline that I could Foil Quill with my Silhouette. It is foiled with silver matte heat transfer foil. I was inspired to create the frame by a Stamp Buddy that does fractured technique. I enjoyed the straight lines and geometric feel this gives, so I combined a diamond and hexagon with an outline to cut this image with the Silhouette. It was then heat set in silver with embossing powder. The mat layer behind was die cut at the same time and then dry embossed with a shattered glass ef that I added clear embossing to the raised areas then sponged on light blue. CS base is sponged in light orange with an embossing folder. Feel free to use my frame jpeg in any way you want. I can send you the svg if you want as well.
