Stamping 411 – Peace Within

April 23, 2010 By Connie | 8 Comments

I haven't used Stampin' Up!'s Peace Within stamp set for a long while, so I pulled it out today to use with the Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge! I don't always enjoy coloring, but today I was in the mood!

I started by stamping the basket of flowers image in Basic Brown on Whisper White and watercolored with my AquaPainter and Watercolor Crayons. I don't use those as much as I should either! I layered it on Regal Rose. In the empty corner, I used my Piercing Tool and the Mat Pack to make a punched design.

I ran the background Whisper White thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Impressions Folder that will be in the Summer Mini. LOVE the texture it makes! I wrapped some Regal Rose Grosgrain Ribbon around it and placed it on the Regal Rose base card. I added the punched Jewelry Tag stamped with Tiny Tags stamp set and Linen Thread. Pretty simple card…but then the sketch was simple!

I hope you try out the sketch and link with Mr. Linky over on Stamping 411. We'd love to see what you do with it! I know I'm always anxious to see what the other design Operators have done with the sketch!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 21 years and just had my 20th 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 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!
