CCMC417 Touches of Texture

July 28, 2016 By Connie | 4 Comments

It’s time for a sketch challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!  Hmm, when I first saw the sketch that Mary designed…I kind of scratched my head!  That’s a lot of little strips for a background and I thought DSP might be too busy, so I looked for a stamp that was that shape.  Found one in the Touches of Texture stamp set I received on the Mediterranean Cruise Incentive Trip that I hadn’t used that I thought would be perfect!

What do you think?

 

CCMC417 Touches of Texture
Here are the details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pool Party, folded in half.
  • On the 4 x 5-1/2 layer of Whisper White, the lacy line background image was stamped three times with Pool Party Ink.  I love that it gives off just a touch of color!
  • The stem was stamped with Old Olive Ink and hello and the bee with Memento Black Ink.
  • The flower outline was stamped with Memento Black Ink, then the petals were stamped once with Crushed Curry and once with Watermelon Wonder, the center was filled in with Pumpkin Pie Marker.  It was hand cut and placed on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The bee was colored with the Crushed Curry Marker, then Clear Wink of Stella added to the wings and the tips of the flowers.
  • Finally, a double strand of Pool Party Bakers Twine was tied in a bow and added to the front with Mini Glue Dots.

OK…make sure to check out the rest of the Thursday Challenge Team’s creations over on Create with Connie and Mary for some fun ideas!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Ohhhh, that lacey line stamp is just the neatest!!! I love it with the spiky looking flower and the sweet little be. The colors you’ve chosen compliment each other nicely!

    Such a clever idea Connie – I got this set this week so am off to give it a go! Love the pop of colour from your flower against the blue too.
