Delight in the simple beauty....

Hi Fellow Crafters;

It is Wednesday again, and it is my turn to post for OCS.  I tried a different technique this time, which I haven't used for years.  I embossed the Birds & Blooms Collage Stamp from Heartfelt Creations with white embossing powder, which was then inked with Wild Honey and Dried Marigold Distress Inks.  The Bird and Butterflies are both from the Heartfelt Creations Birds and Blooms Collection.  The co-ordinating dies were used to cut the bird, flowers and butterflies.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Birds &Blooms Collage, Birds & Blooms, Butterfly Medley (Heartfelt Creations)
• Dies:  Birds & Blooms, Butterfly Medley (Heartfelt Creations)
• Ink: Versa Mark, Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black, Wild Honey and Dried Marigold Distress Inks
• Embossing Powder:  White
• Paper: X-Press It Blending Cardstock, DP - Butterfly Medley Collection (Heartfelt Creations)
• Copic Markers:  Bird:  B95 -Light Grayish Cobalt, B93 - Light Cockery Blue, B91 - Pale Grayish Blue, E09 - Burnt Siena, E97 - Deep Orange; Leaves:  YG11 - Mignonette, YG17 - Grass Green, YG13 - Chartreuse; Butterflies: YR04 - Chrome Orange, YR02 - Light Orange, Y38 - Honey, YR01 - Peach Puff; BG13 - Mint Green, BG11 - Moon white, BV11 - Soft Violet, BV13 - Hydrangea Blue

There is plenty of time for you to enter this month's challenge, which is "Anything Goes" for a change to win 2 High Hopes Stamps.  Check out Lora's OCS store for any supplies that you might need.

This is all for now and I will see you again next week.

Christmas in White

Time to create an all white card with the monthly theme from One Crazy Stamper of Christmas. I don't make all white cards very often, but when they turn out as well as this one did, I often think why not do this a lot more!

The card starts with a white card base layered with a front created by using a Sizzix embossing folder to create depth. Over that I have layered a white ribbon, and a Spellbinder die shape that features an all white Memory Box die called "Glowing Candles". The sentiment was stamped with Versa Mark embossing ink, then embossed with a white emboss powder, while the edges were lightly inked with a silver ink pad. Simple yet elegant!
