Two lucky winners will be chosen to win their choice of an Original or Mini MISTI, and a beautiful prize package from Right at Home Stamps! You must post comments prior to noon central time September 8th. Winners will be posted on Tuesday, September 12th on both the My Sweet Petunia and Right at Home blogs.
For my projects today, I have used my MISTI and the His Love and Find the Beauty stamp sets.
His Love
Find the Beauty
For my first project, I used a woodgrain technique to create a wooden fence at the lower portion of my set of single layer cards.
I stamped the beautiful greeting stamp from His Love with my MISTI using Versafine ink on hot press watercolor paper. By creating scored lines with my Scorepal, and inking with my Distress Oxide ink pads, was able to create the faux look for my fence. I used the floral dies from the Find the Beauty dies to cut the flowers from 100% wool felt.
The video included below demonstrates the faux woodgrain technique, as well as tje coloring technique that I used for the next card.
For this project, I again used the His Love and Find the Beauty sets. I used the single outline leaf stamp to create my own daisy, using a plastic template to assist with placement of the stamp to create my flower on Kraft cardstock. I added color to my white daisy using two Prismacolor pencils.
The techniques used on both cards are shown in the following video:
Thanks so much for hopping this us today. Don't forget to comment for a chance to win these two incredible prizes!
