February Stamper6 Club

I hope this post makes sense. I have a terrible cold today...

This matchbook style card was making flowers using packing tape. We stamped the image first with black Stazon and then applied Pearlex powder with a dry watercolour brush to the sticky side of the image. The tape is then attached to white cardstock and cutout. Very shiny and artsy, not so perfect :)

Stamps: Embrace Life, Short & Sweet
Ink: Black Stazon, Basic Black
Paper: Whisper White, Wild Wasabi, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery Print Designer Series
Accessories: Pearlex (from art store), packing tape, Certainly Celery grosgrain ribbon, stapler

This card I saw the basic design somewhere before and I thought the bookmark card idea was brilliant. I also wanted to incorporate in the use of the clear micro beads. I also love the stamp set! The picture just does not do this justice as the shine on the beads does not show well... I will repost when I take another picture...

Stamps: Embrace Life
Ink: Black Stazon, Basic Black, So Saffron, Summer Sun
Paper: So Saffron, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White, Summer Sun
Accessories: Micro beads, white taffeta ribbon, word punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, scallop punch, photo corners punch, acetate, giant paper clip from Staples

This card used embossing, rub on, 2 step stamping techniques. It is lovely how the stamp set matches the paper and rubons...

Stamps: A Beautiful Life
Ink: Basic Black, White craft, Taken with Teal craft
Paper: Groovy Guava, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Whisper White, Bali Breeze Designer Series
Accessories: natural hemp, large oval punch, 1/2 circle punch, Tool Kit, Eastern Elegance Rubons, clear embossing powder

This card used the brayer to make a lovely spectrum background. I hoped it gave the feeling of looking out the window at a nice bright cheery spring/summer scene. Nice when we are -20s...

Stamps: Essence of Love, Weathered background
Ink: Basic Black, Black craft, Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky, Tempting Turquoise, Brilliant Blue
