Scarlett The Teacup Girl in Aqua

Hi guys.  As you can see the blog has been tweaked a little now in order to add a little more colour to it.

Today I thought it would be nice to show you the other card I made using that same Scarlett The Teacup Girl stamp by Stamping Bella that I showed the other day - this time in a colour scheme that is far more me!!

I stamped and embossed two shades of Bazzill cardstock using two different sizes of stamps from my Daisy Flutters un-mounted stamp sheet using a Versamark inkpad and an old embossing powder that I had in my stash called Bridal.  Then I coloured the daisy heads using a clear Copic Spica marker. The wording also came from this same stamp sheet.  The daisy border was done using one of my new Martha Stewart punches called Doily Lace Trim which I thought was the perfect choice to go with the daisies on the image and the background!  The little snippets of paper you can see are from Bo Bunny, the flowers are Prima and the brads came from The Craft Barn.  Then of course there is my Labels Twelve nestabilitie dies that I used for my main image.  (See I do actually get around to using the stuff I buy - eventually!!)

And here is a closer look at Scarlett herself which I stamped with Graphite Black Brilliance and heat set before colouring her with both Copic Ciaos and Copic Spicas to add a little sparkle. To embellish her further I added some self-adhesive pearls to the centres of the daisies, that came from The Craft Barn and then made her sparkle even more with some Stardust glitter glue.  Unfortunately the photo doesn't do her justice!!

Anyway I hope you like her!!

Scarlett The Teacup Girl

Well after showing you all that I have been buying lately I think it is about time that I actually showed you that I have been card making too - just not with the stuff that I recently bought!  Do you remember a little while ago I came back from The Craft Barn laden with goodies?  Well this stamp was in amongst those goodies along with the designer paper.  So you see I do use the things that I bring home..........eventually!!

This little sweetie is by Stamping Bella and is called Scarlett The Teacup Girl.  I love daisies so as soon as I saw her I just had to have her - you know how it is!!  As you can probably make out I stamped and embossed my Bazzill cardstock to create some more visual interest using a stamp from the Wellspring clear stamp set by Inkadinkado for the top panel and one of my stamps from the Daisy Flutters un-mounted stamp set for the bottom panel.  The DP is from the Nook&Pantry collection by Basic Grey and the flourish is an EK Success punch that I got a little while ago from The Hobby House.  Everything else came from The Craft Barn including the Labels Twelve Nestabilitie dies that I used to stamp and mount Scarlett onto.

Here's a closer look at Scarlett.  I stamped her with Brilliance Graphite Black ink and heat set it before colouring her with my Copic Ciaos and then added some sparkle using glitter glue.

I hope you like her!
