Halloween Layout!

Here is a cute Halloween layout we did. We used the White Daisy stamp pad, Fancy Fuzz, and did a technique called Joesph's Coat. This is seen in the top right corner (the skull) Here is how its done.

1) Color a piece of glossy paper with lighter colors. Yellow, greens and purples is what I used.
2) Stamp image with Versa Mark stamp pad
3) Clear emboss the image
4) Then take a darker colors such as black, dark brown etc. and brayer over top of it.
5) Wipe with a paper towel and you will see the beautiful color image you stamped.

Have fun trying this. I saw this on Stamp TV.

August - Cards

3 Fun Cards to try:



This is a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 in. card.
Squares are 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, 2 x 2, and (2) 1 1/2 x 1 1/2. The middle square with a flower on it is a white piece of cardstock that is 2 x 2.
The white 2 x 2 piece of of cardstock is colored with a rubber brayer and inked.
Then I embossed my image with black embossing powder.
Then I took a brush with some bleach and colored in the center of the flower. Gives you a pretty cool look! Enjoy.




Once again this is a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 in. card.
The Green cardstock is 1 3/4 x 5 1/2
Vineyard Berry cardstock is 1 1/2 x 5 1/2, and 2 3/4 x 2
White cardstock is 1 1/4 x 5 1/2 and 2 1/2 x 1 3/4
Stamp leaves in black. Then on the 1 1/4 x 5 1/2 white piece of cardstock stamp leaves in color. Layer up to match over top the black and white images.



This is a fun card once again using a rubber brayer.
ink your brayer with several colors. Then bounce the brayer around the card to give it a cool tie dye look!
