Stamping 411 – Elements of Style

April 16, 2010 By Connie | 11 Comments

 

This sketch was one of the more difficult ones I've tried with Stamping 411.  Of course, when I see what the other operators have done, I'll be hitting myself on the head…duh…why didn't I think of that?  But, you know how you get something in your mind and it won't let go.  This didn't turn out how I anticipated.  It's ok…just not my favorite!  I like all the elements, just not how they came together, I guess!  lol!

 

I did use one of the new sets in the Summer Mini, so you are getting a sneak peek!  Stampin' Up!'s Elements of Style is a old-fashioned vintage style set, I think.  I started with a base of Kraft Cardstock, then added Bella Bleu Designer Paper over top, I distressed the edges first with my Cutter Kit, then a sponge dauber and Brocade Blue Classic Ink.  I added the Kraft print in the Bella Bleu Designer Paper to Very Vanilla cardstock and ran it thru the Big Shot with the Top Note die.  I stamped over the Top Note with Brocade Blue Classic Ink and the Rose image.  It kind of gave it a split negative technique look.  I added Vanilla Satin Ribbon behind the points of the Top Note…then a Kraft Taffeta Ribbon bow in the corner.  I tied on the greeting, Love, from Stampin' Up!'s Tiny Tags stamp set on Brocade Blue and punched with the Medium Jewelry Tag punch.

 

I can't wait to see what the rest of the Design Team Operators came up with over on Stamping 411!  And, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  I have a downline meeting on Sunday…should be fun!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th 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!

    Hi Connie — it's amazing, isn't it, how you have one thing in your mind and the finished card turns out completely different. I think you did a great job! And, you managed to use some of that dreaded Brocade Blue — LOL. For what it's worth, I found this to be a challenging sketch as well. But that' s why we call it a "challenge", right? Blessings, Gretchen
