Today we start the February previews with Melanie Muenchinger's newest set...
Spring Basket....
OMGosh... I got going with this adorable basket and I am telling you... I couldn't stop filling it!!! My first card I couldn't help but debut it in purple!!! I used Pure Luxury Vibrant Violet for my card base. I layered a piece of Wild Dandelion and more violet. My image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic markers. I stamped the tulips and daffodils separately and pieced them together arranging them so they appeared to be freshly picked from my garden. :-) I mounted my basket of flowers to my Nestabilities Beaded Oval and used Tim Holtz Milled Lavender Distress Ink to bring out the "beads" a bit more. I added a sheer flower print bow to my basket and rumbled the ends to make it appear to be flowing on my basket.
For my next card, I used Melanie's coordinating set....
Basket Blessings....
How cute are these animals??!!! I am guessing by now you have seen many paper pieced stuffed animals and I admit, I HAD to use various yummy DP's to stamp these adorable images on. As luck would have it... I needed just a card like this yesterday for my niece's baby shower!
I began stamping my images onto the DP's and cut them out and paper pieced them back together. Though it's hard to see in my photo, I stamped the basket and colored just along the sides a small amount of grey Copic marker to give it just a hint of a shadow because I wanted my basket to remain white. My basket "liner" was also stamped on DP before added. I used my Lacey Circle Nestabilitie to make my card base and shape. My card base is Pure Luxury White and I layered with some Innocent Pink which I ran through my Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dot folder. Everything was popped up on the card base using Pop Dots.
