A GingerSnap! Fluffy Flowers!

Good morning blog readers.  I am a bit late posting today but I think you will enjoy this post.  Making flowers can be tedious but the video that I am sharing shows you how to make a fun flower in a variety of sizes.  What a terrific way to decorate a package!

A Ginger Snap! A Corner Garden!

Right wash

The Corner Garden stamp set was stamped in Versamark, sprinkled with Whisper White Enbossing Powder, and then set with the Heat Tool.  After embossing, I used my Aqua Painter with Calypso Coral & Pistachio Pudding Reinker.

Left wash

Because I was using a fair amount of water, I used Watercolor Paper.  After washing the color on the card, I used a Crisp Cantaloupe Stampin' Write Marker to highlight some areas of the stamped image.  The leaves were also colored with a Pistachio Pudding Marker.

Flat wash

Pistachio Pudding Thick Baker's Twine is wrapped around the bottom and tied in a bow in order to anchor my image.  Some 2013-2015 In Color Sequins are sprinkled about to add a touch of bling.

A Ginger Snap! A Sketch Challenge for PPA 209!

I like sketch challenges because they give me somewhere to start.  With the sketch in hand, I look through my catalog to find images that I believe fit the sketch.

 And, here is the sketch.

PPA209 June 26 sketch

 The big circle in the sketch reminded me of a sun.  With that in mind,  I though of the rain boots in Bootiful Occassions.  Now, I needed some paper for the background.  Becuase I sorta had a rain theme going, I selected this piece from the Moonlight dsp stack because it resembled rain – okay, maybe a modern rain with the triangles.

My color pallette is based on the colors in the background paper - Lost Lagoon and Basic Gray.  I wanted a bright sun so I used Daffodil Delight rather than Hello Honey.  

The sentiment is from Bootiful Occassions.  I stamped it then punched it out with the Modern Label Punch.
