Perfect Holiday


Eleventh hour push! Hoping to get in under the wire on this week's Less is More
challenge #342, "Perfect Holiday." I stamped the chair from Stampin' UP and the sentiment from Cathy Zielske with Versamark ink, then heat embossed both with clear embossing powder. I dry embossed the waves using Lawn Fawn's Stitched Hillside dies. Finally, I colored the chair and flower pot with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.  My perfect holiday? Toes in the sand.  After some hiking, that is, but trying to keep it CAS here! Thanks for looking.

Enchanted and Inspired

Playing along this week with Altenew's Inspiration Challenge. Using the Enchanted Iris set, I stamped the flowers, leaves, and sentiment with Versamark, then heat embossed with gold embossing powder. Then I lightly colored the flowers with shimmering watercolors in turquoise, die cut them, and mounted them on white cardstock using pieces of foam mounting tape for dimension. I used two graduating sizes from my Cottage Cutz Stitched Rectangle set from GinaK Designs to create the layered frames, then mounted them to Neenah solar white 80lb. card stock. For the finishing touch I used several turquoise pearls from my stash. Thanks for viewing!
