Picture Perfect Creations Color Combo

Hi All;

Today's card is for Picture Perfect Creations Color Combo #27.  One of these colors is a favourite, Concord Grape.  I think it's because it makes me think of, yea you guessed it, concord grapes and my absolutely most favourite Yankee Candle Scent which called Vineyard.  Anyway, here's the colors for the challenge.

Since the combo has a purple and a green in it I figured the best stamp to use was the lavender stamp from Herb Expressions.

Supplies
Card Stock:  Blushing Bride, Concord Crush, Wild Wasabi, Watercolor, Whisper White
Ink:  Blushing Bride, Black StazOn, Concord Crush
Stampin' Write Markers:  Wild Wasabi, Concord Crush
Stamps:  Herb Expressions, Bella Toile
Punches:  Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch
Accessories:  Blender Pen, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon, Pretty in Pink Brads, SNAIL, Paper Snips

Tips

1. When I place the ribbon I don't wrap it all around the card stock.  I just wrap it across the front and cut off enough to fold it over the side and tape it to the back of the card stock.  Over time this saves a lot of ribbon.
2. I use my Paper Piercer and Mat Pack to place the brads, this helps to line things up.
3. The image is stamper on Watercolor Paper with Black StazOn Ink, and then colored the image with my Blender Pen and Stampin' Write Markers.  Remember to always use Watercolor Paper and StazOn Ink if you are going to watercolor; if not the paper will most likely tear and the ink will smear.

I hope you enjoy my post today, I would love to know what you think.

Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch #25

Hi All...Today's post is a card I made for Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #25

This sketch comes from the monthly magazine all Stampin' Up! demonstrators get called Stampin' Success. Anyway, here is my card.

Supplies
Stamp:  Tiny Tags, Bella Toile
Paper:  Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry, Confetti White
Ink:  Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry
Punches:  Jewelry Tag
Accessories:  Scallop Rectangle Clearlit, Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die, Gold Glow Smooch Spritz, Color Catcher, Brights Brads, Cutter Kit, Matt Pack, Paper Piercing Tool, Sponge Daubers, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, SNAIL

Tips
I used the cutting tool to distress the edges of the paper, and then the sponge daubers to add color to those edges. 
When I applied the Gold Glow Smooch Spritz to the Daffodil Delight cardstock I used the Color Catcher to keep from getting the Smooch Spritz all over everything.
When using the Smooch Spritz be sure to shake up the bottle well, and spray your object at least 12 inches away; if you spray too close you will have gobs of color on your project.  If the sprayer gets clogged you can unscrew the top and put it in some warm water to unclog it. 

Enjoy!
