Elements of Style New color Sampler

This is a new color "sampler", including Bashful Blue, Marina Mist,

Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink,

Wild Wasabi, Garden Green and Early Espresso.

I used the Boho Blossom Punch produce  flowers that were

layered on squares.   The sentiment from Elements of Style was

stamped on vanilla card stock and layered on Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler.

The Ribbon Punch was used to punch out a strip for the sentiment.

Finally, Pearls were added to the flowers.

Pickletree CASE Using Elements of Style

PickleTree, A.K.A  Amy Sheffer is one of my favorite stamping artists.  

This is a CASE (Copy and Steal Everything) of one of her beautiful projects.  

This card uses the Elements of Style set from the Summer Mini 

(and new SU 2010-2011 Catty) and several new cardstock colors, 

including Early Espresso, Baja Breeze and Wild Wasabi.  Vanilla

cardstock and Taffeta ribbon area also part of this card.

Elements of Style Cameo Celery

Ok, so there are some retiring colors that I will miss.

Cameo Coral is one of them.  This combination is Cameo Coral

With Certainly Celery and Celery Satin Ribbon.

Cameo Coral also looks stunning with Taken with Teal,

which is also retiring.

Additionally, I am kind of fixated on the Elements of Style

set from the Summer Mini.  It can be colored with markers, as in 

this example, or you can stamp it with permanent ink and then

color the images in with blender pen or aqua painter.

This was a quick card because I cut the Whisper White

card stock with the Big Shot Top Note die and then

stamped the image that had been colored with markers... 

focal point DONE!

Add the sentiment from Fresh Cuts, stamp the Cameo Coral

card base and you've got a very quick and pretty card.

On Board Briefcase Scrapbook

The Summer Mini features several On Board chipboard products,
including a large cog and the Briefcase displayed above (page 23).

This chipboard is easy to ink. In the sample above, I inked the cover

with craft Rose Red craft ink and while it was still wet, added Glassy Glaze

Embossing Power.  Before embossing, I dragged through the Glassy Glaze

with a stylus, removing some of the EP.  Then I heat embossed. This technique 

yields a faux leather look.  The scrapbook is tied closed with wide ribbon.

Inside, I used Modern DP and Bermuda Bay cardstock.  

Pages were stamped with the Elements of Style set on page 12-13 of the mini.

A Big Shot 2 tags tag was added to one of the DP pockets.

Nouveau Chic with Elements of Style

Sorry I've been quiet.  Just preoccupied with some events.

This is a fun color combination, based on the Nouveau Chic DP (Designer Paper Series)

on page 160 of the catty.  This DP consists of Apricot Appeal, Basic Gray and 

Sage Shadow.   The stamps used are from the Summer Mini 

Elements of Style Set.  Be sure to check out products that

will retire in July, including this DP and the Sage Shadow

and Apricot card stocks.
