Color vs. Vintage

 Today I have another set of bookmarks to share with you featuring products from Creative Worship Stamps. I started out to make a vintage set and then decided to do a color vs vintage set. I can't decide which set I like better - what's your vote? 

For the vintage bookmarks: I die cut the bookmarks from watercolor paper and stamped my images in waterproof ink. I inked around the edges in vintage photo distress ink and added splatters in the same color. After adding just a bit of color (in browns and green), I added black acrylic paint splatters and some tiny black rhinestones.  The final step was punching a hole and adding a muslin ribbon

For the colored bookmarks: I die cut the bookmarks from watercolor paper and stamped my images in waterproof ink. I colored the images with Arteza Real Brush Pens and added white and black acrylic paint splatters. Some tiny black rhinestones and gingham ribbon complete this set.

Quilted Easter

 I'm up on the Stamp Simply blog today with this quilt themed Easter card using their He Lives stamps and dies. You can find a tutorial for creating the Herringbone Quilt Background in this blog post from Julie's Stamping Spot. After I completed mine, I die cut the panel with a scalloped border die. The flowers were stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. I added a bit of cheesecloth to help the flowers stand out from the background a little more.

Book Lover's Card

 Today's floral book card was created for Creative Worship Stamps book/reading theme this month. I embossed the books on black card stock using white embossing powder. The main images were stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens before adding white splatters with diluted acrylic paint. Now to decide which of my book-loving friends to send this too. 😊
