Stamping on Ribbon

_3317027 Moments to live for Stella papers (Medium) (Medium)

I know that I am always talking about the Workshops on the Go Kits and the layouts they have instructions for, so today is going to be no different LOL. I used an old Workshop On the Go Instruction pamphlet from the Veranda Kit and used my New Stella Papers and this is the result. The basic Idea is the same but with different papers and embellishments you would never know it was the same sketch.

One other thing that I like to do that I haven’t done in a while is to stamp a saying on ribbon. I have lots of narrow sayings that work perfect for this. I used the sayings that came with the Retro Tech stamp set to stamp “Moments to live for” on the left page and “Picture Perfect” for the right page. Some ribbon works better than others for stamping on but the Color Ready seam binding works great. Make sure you don’t press to hard or the stamp will squish down and become distorted. Also darker inks will help you to see the saying better too.

Catching Up

_C286398 sweetheart flourishes transfigure sketch (Medium)

I found some more pictures of artwork that I have not posted yet.  Hope you like it. 

I used the Magic sketch book from Close to My Heart to design this layout. The sketch is called transfigure and is on page 112.

One of the things I did for this layout is to use our cream pearls and I colored them with my Copic marker R85. I tend to buy a lot of white, cream or clear embellishments and color them with my Copic Markers to match. This way you can customize the embellishments to suit your layout. If you don’t have any Copics, Sharpie markers will do the same thing.

Here is a close up of the stamping.
