Sweet Layout

Good morning all, hope your week is off to a great start!!!  We have been busy with Vacation Bible School this week and having so much fun!  It warms your heart to see so many smiling faces learning about our God!

I would like to share a sweet layout with you today starring my grandson!!

I just love how this turned out!!  The edges were distressed with scissor and inked with green pigment ink.  I applied the ink with a sponge and distressed the background as well.  The page was punched with a border punch in several places.

Using a brick stencil and embossing paste I created a brick wall.  To create the texture on the bricks, I used my finger and lightly dabbed each one.  Next the bricks were lightly inked using green ink and a sponge.  I cut around the bricks and inked the edges with brown ink.  

Using an piece of cardboard from an old box, I inked it with green ink tore and rolled the edges.  I then took a brush and lightly brushed gesso on the cardboard in random spots. The brick wall was adhere to the cardboard.

Using the Leafy Flourish stamp set, I stamped the image with black ink and inked it lightly with green ink.  For the pretty sparkle I used a glue pen and Sparkling Snow glitter.  The flourish was fussy cut and adhere to the background paper.

The flourish was repeated to used on the bottom right corner. I stamped the  Crystal Medallion stamp with black ink and inked using a sponge and green ink.  The center was glittered using a glue pen and Sparkling Snow.  The image was fussy cut, a brad adhere to the center.  The flourish and medallion were adhere to the background page.

The honeycomb were die cut using Tim Holtz's dies.  Once they were die cut I inked them with versamark and embossed using Cooper Flame EP.

Once the embossing powder was cool they were cut in half and placed on the page.  I used several of the cut outs, inked them with Tangelo Ink and embossed them with Houndstooth embossing folder. 

Using the Tutorial for Coloring on Glitter, the butterfly was created.  The butterfly image is from the Simply Beautiful stamp set.

The sentiments were stamped using Desert Sand ink.  The sentiments are from the Camera Life and the Crystal Medallion stamp sets.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember.....Keep Stamping!!

I hope you all have had a chance to view all the beautiful new releases!!!  I had so much fun working with them and know you will too!!

I just loved the Church stamp and would like to share it with you!!

The images was colored with copic markers and cut out.  I then cut the image into 4 pieces and adhere to a black oval.  Here is a look at how my image was cut.

Using a glue pen I added Sparkling Snow and Green Iris glitter to the image.

A tag was cut from salmon cardstock and punched with a border punch.  I used a white gel pen to mark the faux stitch lines.  For the flourish behind the image, I used Anna Griffin die.  The flourish was cut from white cardstock , ink with versamark and embossed using Indian Spark EP.  While the Indian Spark EP is still hot place Magic Speckle on top and heat from the bottom.  The Magic Speckle EP gives a very pretty embossed look!  I hope you are able to see that from the pictures!!

A closer look at the embossing.  Added pearls to flourish!!

I placed a 1/4" Tear-ific Tape on the edges of the cardstock removed the backing and glittered using Florida Beach glitter.


Here is a look at several other projects using the new stamps sets!!
