Peace Within swap card

August 11, 2009 By Connie | Leave a Comment

Good morning! I am feeling a LOT perkier today. I slept well again last night and have sort of caught up on emails, orders, etc. I need to finish getting ready for my Technique Class tonight…my studio definately needs cleaned up…it is a mess from working on swaps before I left!

Here is a design that I made for Sherrill Graff’s swap cards a couple months ago. She hired me to make 20 cards for her to take to Convention. I decided to use one of my favorite new sets, Peace Within.

I started with a base card of Dusty Durango (othewise known as Brent Steele if you were at Convention! lol!) Then I took a layer of Always Artichoke and ran it thru the Big Shot with my Texturz Plate. I added a layer of Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Paper matted on Crushed Curry cardstock. For the focal piece, I stamped the basket image from Peace Within with Stazon Black on Shimmer White cardstock, then watercolored with my Stampin’ Up! markers and AquaPainter. I distressed the edges with my Distressing Tool, then layered it on Dusty Durango cardstock. I added the greeting stamped with Dusty Durango on Shimmer White, then punched with the large Oval Punch and layered on the Scallop Oval punch from Always Artichoke cardstock. Finally, I added 1/2 a Modern Tag punched from Crushed Curry with Gold Mini Brad to the front.

I’m happy with how it turned out!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 23 years and just had my 22nd 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 Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, 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!
