Stamping 411 – Nature Walk

February 18, 2011 By Connie | 12 Comments

Over on Stamping 411 we have another easy sketch for you to try this week!  Isn't it FUN looking?  I can think of lots of stamp sets that this sketch would easily work.

 

And, I'm SO excited about my card!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the little Scallop Oval detail with the Vintage Brad!  Now…someone may have done it before, but I've never seen it, so it was a completely new idea for me!   I love it hanging off the wide 1 1/4 Stripe Ribbon, too!!!

 

This color combination is new for me, too.  I picked it up off the new Color Coach.  I started with a base of Pink Pirouette and added a layer of Bravo Burgundy.  On top of that is the Crumb Cake print from Elegant Soiree Designer Paper.  I used Old Olive and Bravo Burgundy Stampin' Write Markers to ink up the floral image from Stampin' Up!'s Nature Walk and stamped on Very Vanilla.  It is layered on Bravo Burgundy and then Pink Pirouette. 

 

I wrapped the Pretty in Pink 1 1/4 Stripe Ribbon around to the back and secured.  I stamped "it's the little things" from Stampin' Up!'s You're a Gem stamp set in Bravo Burgundy on Pink Pirouette and punched with the Large Oval Punch.  That was layered on the Scallop Oval punch.  I added a Vintage Brad to the top and then wrapped it around the ribbon and secured.  I love it!

 

Make sure to check out the rest of the Stamping 411 Operators to see what they have done this week!  I'm sure they will have some FABULOUS ideas…we really have some talented designers!

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!

    So very pretty!  I've never seen the brad used that way either. When the color wheel was the tool of choice, I seldom used it, but now that we have the color coach, it's one of my most used tools! Love your combination of paper and ribbon!  Thanks for your inspiration!

    Connie,
    Sometimes  a card just comes together for us in such beauty, while other times it is a struggle to get anything to work. Well, this week your card blows it out of the water. It is perfect in everyway. Design, color and creativity. Just beautiful! shhhh I  may have to copy it! Have a good week's end!~Donna

    Connie — this is so beautiful. I love the soft, muted colors and the fact that you angled the focal image. And that oval "droplet" off the ribbon with the brad — it looks like a piece of jewelry! So beautiful and different! Way to go, my friend! Great job! Blessings, Gretchen
