Embossed Morning Meadow

This is the 3rd card in a set that I created using the same layout & technique. The first two cards I shared used the Serene Silhouettes stamp set, but since this image from Morning Meadow is the same size, I chose this one for the third, and maybe my favorite, of the trio.

Stamps: Morning Meadow, En Francias, Papillon Potpourri & Simply Sketched (sentiment)
Card stock: Blushing Bride & Very Vanilla
Ink: VersaMark, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede & Blushing Bride
Accessories: Blushing Bride Pleated Ribbon, White EP, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Basic Pearls, Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder, Bitty Butterfly, Large Oval & Scallop Oval Punches

Here is the set of all three cards we made in my last All Occasions Card Class. (the anniversary card shown on the right is a stepped up version I made later) I am offering this class again on September 19th. If you live local and would like to attend please contact me.  

Which one of these three do you like best? 

If you would like more info on this technique and the other two cards, just scroll down to see my last two blog postings.

Morning Meadow Color Blocked Collage

I inked up a couple different sizes of my Clear Mount Blocks to create the background for this card using the Hostess Set Morning Meadow. I guess I was in the mood to ink up my tools as I did the same with the Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder before running it though my Big Shot.

I used all 4 of the image stamps from this set to create the collage look and when I was done I used the En Francias background stamp as well. I'll add a greeting (or not?) when I'm ready to send the card. Here's what I used:

Stamps: Morning Meadow & En Francias
Card stock: Soft Sky, Very Vanilla
Ink: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Soft Sky & Primrose Petals
Accessories: Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder, Basic Pearls, Pansy Punch, Primrose Petals Stitched Satin Ribbon & Sponge Daubers

Thank you for visiting me today!

Morning Meadow Pair

I finally received my first new catalog order, and here are the first cards I created using my new goodies!

The Hostess Set Morning Meadow caught my eye right away and I am glad I finally got to add it to my collection. I made a pleasant discovery while playing with this set...the pretty label works nicely with one of the Framelits from the Apothecary Accents set.

It's funny...in real life the subtle tone on tone stamped background using En Francais doesn't show up as much as the pretty embossed texture from the Beautifully Baroque EF does...put in the photograph its just the opposite. Here's a closer look at each card...

Not sure which one I like better?

Which one do you prefer?
