Chapel Road Stamps Inspiration


Well, today is my first official post for the Chapel Road/Class Act Design team. I hope this card will bring some cheer to you today!

I stamped the Butterfly Background using Versamark ink, and embossed it in gold. Then I sprayed Glimmer Mist in various shades of orange over it to color my background paper. I stamped the sentiment from Butterfly Square using Versafine ink in onyx black and tore the edges. I added some ribbon and black pearls to my layers to finish everything off.

There are challenges on the first and last Friday of the month - so we hope you will come check it out at the Class Act Blog. We would love to have you follow us!

Stamp the tulip image onto Cryogen White paper using black Memento ink. Color with copics. Color over the entire image with the Versamark pen and emboss the image with clear embossing powder. Take the stained glass background and stamp over the image with Versamark embossing ink. Emboss using the purple powder. Spray the entire image with Glimmer Mist and wipe off the excess.

JustRite Challenge


This is a card that I made using Graphic 45's latest collection - Le Cirque. This is such a fun and whimsical line - I just love it!

The current challenge at JustRite is Direct to Rubber. I chose to use the Rock and Roll technique to add two colors to my stamp. The sentiment was stamped separately in black ink and covered in glossy accents. All of my stamps are from the new You Inspire Me set - such a gorgeous set!

Challenges:
JustRite: Direct to Rubber
Creative Cutter: Graphic 45

Graphic 45 Love

I really love Graphic 45! So of course, when I saw that they were holding a DT call, I knew that I wanted to give it a try. Their paper and embellishments are like no one else's. The vintage style, the colors, the imagery...every thing about this line is so creative and wonderful - and it fits my style of crafting to a tee! I'd like to share with you some of my favorite Graphic 45 projects.
