Dreams du Jour

I have a confession, I have a hard time getting the corner and edge punches to line up. My solution. . . I don't use them together.

• I started this card with a piece of Very Vanilla CS cut 4 1/4" x 11" with the ends folded to the middle. On the two front sides I layered a piece of Early Espresso on each side.  On top of the Early Espresso pieces I added a piece of DSP in Pear Pizzazz.
• On a square of Very Vanilla I stamped the Dream image from "Dreams du Jour" using Early Espresso.  Using a Blender Pen I colored the leaves and flowers using Pear Pizzazz and Regal Rose.
• The image was layered 4 times. 1st- Regal Rose, 2nd- Early Espresso, 3rd- Pear Pizzazz, 4th- Early Espresso.
• I cut the last Early Espresso square at 4" punching the corners with the Scallop Edge Corner punch.  To the straight sides I added a strip of the Pearl Jewels.
• The image was attached to only the left side of the card so that it could still open.

I was surprised when my husband came into my stamp room and saw this card he actually said he liked it.

Collage of Me

There have been several collages on blogs that I have visited and I decided to make one for my small stamping studio.

• I punched squares from Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy and Early Espresso using the 1 1/4" square punch.
• I attached the squares to some watercolor paper left over from my sons art projects.
• I stamped and colored a few things, made some small punch art, embossed, used the Big Shot, etc.

Over all I'm happy with it.

• The card base is Whisper White with a front of Cherry Cobbler on to that is a piece of Whisper White(3 3/4"x 5") that I random stamped with the vine image from Vintage Vogue, using Cherry Cobbler ink.
• I stamped the image from Dreams du Jour with Stazon onto a piece of Whisper White.
• I colored the image with markers, blending with a blender pen.
• I mounted it onto a piece of Pear Pizazz, then onto Daffodil Delight, then onto Cherry Cobbler, finally onto the card itself.
  
  I really like this card and hope that you do as well.
