Watering the grass

Yet another green card using the Garden Silhouettes. First I embossed the grass with clear e.p. on watercolour paper and then stamped same stamp in several different colours . I sprayed it with a mist of water to blur the images and when that had dried stamped the same stamp a couple more times. A little sponging in green completed the soft effect .

Stamps: Garden Silhouettes, Fundamental Phrases
Inks: Garden green, Wild Wasabi, Not quite Navy, Versamark
Cardstock: Garden green, Wild Wasabi, Not quite Navy, Watercolour paper, Whisper white, Vellum

Queen Anne’s Lace
Posted: September 9, 2007 Filed under: Garden silhouettes 2 Comments
Queen Anne’s Lace is such a pretty plant and the stamp from Garden Silhouettes makes a very delicate image. I embossed the white images first and then sponged and stamped in the other colours. I also brushed the stamp pad across the base card to help create the illusion of wind blowing the plants.
Supplies:
Stamps: Garden Silhouettes, Fundamental Phrases
Inks: River Rock, Garden Green, Mellow Moss, Versamark
Cardstock: River Rock, Garden Green, Mellow Moss, Whisper White
Celery quilt
Posted: August 23, 2007 Filed under: Garden silhouettes, Polka dots & Paisley 2 Comments
I made this card using the Certainly Celery pack from the new single colour sets of Designer paper from Stampin’ Up. The frustrating thing about this paper is that in most cards you can’t see the two beautiful sides. This quilt inspired design is my answer to that problem. I cut one square into strips and then proceeded to glue them down but of course it was near impossible to get them perfectly square so I squared them off like a quilter would after they were glued.
Supplies:
Stamps: Garden Silhouettes, Polka dots And Paisley
Inks: Certainly Celery, Versamark
Cardstock: Certainly Celery, Whisper white, Celery Designer paper
Also: Celery grosgrain ribbon, White e.p.
Sweet Celery

I completed this card for the featured stamper challenge at Splitcoast Stampers .
The featured stamper on Sunday was Melissa and the card I CASEd was this one. The Certainly Celery designer paper made it easy to make a coordinated patchwork background.
Supplies:
Stamps: Garden Silhouettes, Short and Sweet
Inks: Versamark
Cardstock: Whisper white, Certainly Celery
Also: Certainly Celery Designer papers, white eyelets, white e.p.
August Stampers’ Club

I decided to feature the designer paper at Stampers’ club this month with the new Garden Whimsy set. The butterfly is embossed with clear e.p. on White cardstock and then sponged with Pretty in Pink and So Saffron.
Supplies:
Stamps: Garden Whimsy
Inks: Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Versamark
Cardstock: Old Olive, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Whisper White, Petals &Paisley D.P.
Also: Fresh Favourites Eyelets, Pink Gingham ribbon, clear embossing powder.
You can’t see it in this picture but the Not quite Navy cardstock is the new textured cardstock which is just like linen. I tried several times to add to this card but ended up wanting it simple like this. The delicate design of the Queen Anne’s Lace is pretty enough on its own.
Supplies:
Stamps: Garden Silhouettes, Short and Sweet
Inks: Not Quite Navy
Cardstock: Not Quite Navy, Soft Sky, Confetti Cream
