Stamping 411 – Paisley Prints

September 3, 2010 By Connie | 7 Comments

Paisley Prints was one of the sets I received for free for attending Convention.  At first I wondered about it, but since I've starting using it, I find I really do like it a lot!  I have some ideas for using it, not as it is really intended!  Isn't that what is great about stamping?  Today Selene has a fun sketch for us!  I did take some liberties with the sketch to change it up a little.  My card came together pretty quickly!  Make sure to check out the rest of the Stamping 411 Operators to see what they did this week!

 

 

And here is my submission:

 

 

I started with the large panel and stamped the Paisley Prints leaves with Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Poppy Parade inks…then I stamped off using Sahara Sand to fill in the empty spaces.  I used my Color Spritzer and Old Olive and Sahara Sand markers to add the speckles.  I cut up the panel into thirds and layered it on Early Espresso cardstock.  I added a panel of Old Olive behind it and wrapped the Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon around to the back.  I did a little treatment with the ribbon by gathering it in only the one area and adhering with adhesive.  I layered everything on the base card of Cajun Craze.

 

I stamped the Paisley Prints pumpkin with Cajun Craze on Pumpkin Pie cardstock and cut it out.  I colored the stem Early Espresso, then used a tiny sliver of Old Olive to make the curly vine.  I layered the pumpkin on a 1 3/4 punched circle of Early Espresso.  Finally, I added a Very Vanilla flower designer button that I tied with the 1/8" Taffeta Early Espresso ribbon (LOVE that 1/8 taffeta!) and tucked in a little punched jewelry tag behind the button.  The Thanks so much is from Tiny Tags stamp set.

 

I hope you play along with the sketch this week and upload your creation over on Stamping 411!  We love to see what you do!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 17 years and just had my 16 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!
