Just a Little Ink - Amy Taylor - justalittleink.com

This summer has been busy! I thought that it was time that I posted another stamped creation, so here it is. This is stamped using one of the new level 2 hostess sets, The More the Merrier. This is just one of the many images in this set. Although it's hard to see, the hearts have been given dimension by using Crystal Effects on them after they were colored. All the coloring was done using markers. The punched edge is done using the Eyelet Border punch. A simple card.

Before convention, I had time to play around with the Serene Spring stamp set (a level 2 Hostess set this fall). It's the perfect size stamp to use on the tumbled 4x4 tiles. The image is stamped with Staz-On Jet Black ink, and colored in with the Water Wonder Crayons and a blender pen. It is sealed with Krylon Workable Fixatif found at any craft store. The last step was to adhere a piece of cork to the back. Here is second tile with the remaining stamp in this set:

This card was made using one of the new level 2 hostess sets (Serene Spring) from the new catalog that will be coming out August 11th! The card is made using textured Kiwi Kiss cardstock (one of the new In-Colors from the new catalog), and Baja Breeze (another new In-Color) and watercolor paper. The colors don't show quite as vibrant as they are because I scanned this card on my printer. I had forgotten how much I love watercoloring onto watercolor paper. The colors flow so wonderfully, and blend without effort. The saying comes from the Refuge & Strength stamp set.
