Stamped this cute little Giraffe by first loading my stamp with Versamark and then loading it with Close to Cocoa ink before stamping it on a 3.5″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.
Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Colored the dots of the Giraffe in with an Apricot Appeal marker.
Colored over the Apricot Appeal marker and the white of the Giraffe’s eye with a Versamark marker and then heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Stamped these flower images from the Stampin’ Up Set “Embrace Life” by first loading the stamp with Versamark and then loading the stamp with Close to Cocoa ink before stamping it. Loaded and stamped the image 3 times.
Heat embossed the flower images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Colored the flowers in with an Apricot Appeal and a More Mustard marker.
Colored over the colored flowers with a Versamark marker and then heat embossed the flowers using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Brayered the New In Color ink “Bermuda Bay” at the top right hand corner of the card stock.
Brayered Bermuda Bay ink at the bottom of the card stock.
Sponged the new In Color Ink “Dusty Durango” at the bottom of the card stock.
Created a shadow and some depth to the Giraffe by outlining some of the image with a Basic Black marker.
Used the Ticket Corner Punch on the main image panel and the Handsome Hunter Panel that will go under it.
Sponged Handsome Hunter ink at the top right hand corner of the main image panel.
Added White Gel pen dots in the grassy area.
Sponged Handsome Hunter ink at the top Right Corner and bottom of a 5″ square Apricot Appeal Panel. Also sponged Dusty Durango ink at the bottom of the same panel.
Assembled the card and added ribbon and gold brads, white dots on the Apricot appeal panel and here it is finished measuring 5.5″ square.
I hope you are looking forward to the new Stampin’ Up catalog that comes out July 1st as much as I am!
Just for the heck of it, I thought I would share with you the project I completed yesterday in my garden. That’s right I garden in my spare time (LOL spare time, right).
I installed this fountain at the side of my house where everyone enters off of the drive way.
It is one of those fountains that bubbles over the top and down the jar sides. I was happy with the outcome. 🙂
May your day be bubbling over with happiness!
Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle
