Stamping 411 – Garden from the Heart

February 19, 2010 By Connie | 7 Comments

It is time for another Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge!  The weeks are FLYING by aren't they?  You can tell it is a BUSY night/day for me with posts.  Stamping 411, Tour de Freaks and Create with Connie and Julie Challenge will all post at the same time!

 

I didn't quite know what I was going to do with this sketch…the small narrow bands were throwing me off.  But, I like what I came up with after it was done.  Had to change things a couple times, but I think it works.

 

I started with a base of Dusty Durango and layered on Crushed Curry.  I ran the Soft Suede thru the Big Shot with the Finial Press Impressions Folder.  I took Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango Ribbon and made the criss cross element on the left side, securing it with a Vanilla Jumbo Brad. 

 

I stamped the gloves and hand shovel with Soft Suede on Very Vanilla and punched with the 1 3/4 Circle Punch, then watercolored with AquaPainter and Stampin' Write Markers.  Finally I stamped Happy Mother Day from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Soft Suede on Crushed Curry and punched with the Modern Label punch.

 

Make sure to check out the rest of the Stamping 411 designer Operators!  I'm sure they will have some fun twists to this sketch, too!

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!

    My Mom would love this card – the colors, the simplicity – everything. Nice idea with the embossing folder on the whole front panel.
