I just received my order with my stamps from The Ton, and couldn't wait to use them. I've been drooling over this anemones set for a while now, and finally have it. So, today's card....
Stamps: Fresh Cut Anemones - The Ton
Verse - Thoughtful Poppies - The Ton
Various background stamps- unknown
Stencil: Studio 490 Wendy Vecchi - dots & stripes borders
Inks: Tim Holtz distress inks
Tools: Misti, Clarity stencil brushes, distress applicators
I started with a pale pink A2 card. On a panel slightly smaller, I created a row of stripes along the left side, using my Clarity brushes and distress ink.
On a light pink card stock panel cut slightly smaller than the card front, I stamped the vase from the Fresh Cut Anemones set. I did not ink up the bottom portion of the vase. I used the same distress marker color to draw the bottom for the mug, and added a hand-drawn handle, then colored the mug. I sponged a background, and added some background stamping with a script and flourish stamp. These are stamps that I have had in my stash forever, unmounted, so I do not know who they are.
On watercolor paper, I stamped and water colored the anemones and leaves. Then I fussy-cut them, and arranged them in the mug. I added the verse, and some pearls from Want 2 Scrap.
I am adding my card to these challenges:
