Happy Monday and welcome back everyone for another Kitchen Sink Monday!! My kids are going to back to school today!! Yippie!! I don't hope you think I'm a terrible mom but I was counting this day was coming for a long time, :P Have you ever seen Staple's CM? That's exactly how I feel :):):) Can you tell my stampin' mood is also back to school??
I used 4 sets for today's card - School Days, Butterflies, Kittens & Pup, and Mix it Up!. I cut off the images with using the scalloped square Nestabilities die as masking on the panels. I put a mouse pad under the panels and stamped each step a little harder to the edges so that the impressions were shown nicely. The colors are reminded of old school style so I added ink distressing and the vintage embellishments to keep the style. I hope you will like it.
The images were stamped with these steps:
(apple) 1st - barely banana, 2nd - ruby red (stamping off), 3rd - ruby red, 4th - riding hood red
(butterfly) 1st - baja breeze (stamping off), 2nd - baja breeze, 3rd - pacific point
(kittens) 1st - so saffron, 2nd - more mustard (stamping off), 3rd - more mutard, 4th - close to cocoa
(ruler) - 1st - creamy caramel, 2nd - close to cocoa, 3rd - tuxedo black

ReplyDeletewhat a great blending of images and sets......as a retired teacher, I appreciate the theme AND the fact that YOU would enjoy their return to school...lol
ReplyDeleteお子さんたちの学校が始まったんですね～…いいなぁ（笑）。うちもあと1週間ほどですが、指折り数えてしまいます(^^;)
ReplyDeleteやはり3ステップスタンプって素敵！そしてこの３つのイメージの組み合わせ方も素晴らしいです！！
クラフトと赤の組み合わせって、私は大好きで、ソーイングにはまっていたころには、クラフトっぽい色と質感の布に赤の糸でステッチを多用していたことを思い出しました。ちょうど今日、クラフトカラーのペーパーが届いたところ！近いうちに挑戦してみたいと思います。
This is GORGEOUSNESS MAki! LOVE the colors, the layout and those KSS stamps! I think I need to break down and get me some!
