Sweet Floral in Wisteria

Last month I taught Crayon Resist techniques and this is just one of the cards that we made.

I call this technique Radiating with Crayon Resist and here's how easy it is.

After stamping the Sweet Floral background stamp, take a light colored crayon and draw around the edges of the flowers and leaves.When you've done that, sponge the background and then take a tissue and wipe off the crayon. Because I used an Apricot crayon, the color will show slightly making a subtle outline.

To color the Sweet Floral stamp, I colored directly onto the rubber using my Stampin' Write Markers in Wisteria Wonder and Lucky Limeade, just 2 of this year's luscious In Colors.

The background was sponged with Pool Party, another In Color and I used Wisteria Ruffled Ribbon with Old Olive Satin for added texture.

Pennant Parade for Christmas ~

 
Here is an idea using the Pennant Parade stamp set with the Pennant punch that would be a quick and easy Christmas card to get started on, . . . 'cause you know Christmas is just around the corner when school starts, don't ya?!?

 

I used lots of New goodies on this card, and by New I mean fun stuff that came out in the New Idea Book & Catalog in July. Here's what I used:

The New Pennant Parade stamp set

The New Petite Pennant Punch

The New Letters to Santa designer paper

The New In Color Polka Dot brads

The New Scallop Dots Ribbon

That's a whole lotta New, don't ya think?

I also used one of the new In Colors, Lucky Limeade, for the trees and the brad.

Hope you like it!

My Friend in Wisteria Wonder

Wisteria Wonder, what a great name for one of the 5 beautiful new In Colors that came out in July, don't you think? It's a fabulous soft purple that's so fun to work with.

This is a card that I made using a Wisteria monochromatic color scheme to show off that wonderful color, along with a new stamp set, My Friend.

I used the Wisteria Wonder ink, ribbon, paper and new Polka Dot brad too.
