Skull Shirt

DSC03552

Another one of my new Greeting Farm stamps – I love this punky little girl with her skull shirt and her leggings! I’ve been having great fun colouring her, and making her hair exciting colours.

The green paper behind her is from a K&Co mat stack- the twist with this one is that the papers all already have adhesive on the back. I thought it would great, take a step out of the card-making process! Turns out, the adhesive isn’t all that great, I’ve already had to pull it off and put real glue on the back and stick it back down.

The jewel clusters are also K&Co, I used them and black stickles to give the card a bit of bling, for the Anya Ink blog this week. I also used a sketch from the Club Anya Saturday Sketch blog.

Fuzzy Feather Boa

DSC03562

When I first saw this stamp, I knew I had to pull out my Martha Stewart flocking for the boa. Just a little bit of glue, and some fuzz to give this glamour stamp a little more oomph. The layout is from The Sweet Stop Sketch blog, and they wanted fuzz on the card too.

I tried to keep the look vintage and soft and girly, so I pulled out my wide lace again, as well as some new but vintage-looking flowers. I used a rub-on for the sentiment – I rubbed it on to some vellum so you can still glimpse the lace through it.

Flapping Good Time

DSC03559

I love flapper dresses, so when I made my first order of Greeting Farm stamps, I had to add in Flapper Anya. I love this stamp, especially the feather. I think it’d be great to have a stamp just of the feather – maybe a bit larger.

I coloured her by taking ink from my V15 marker with the tip of my colourless blender, and applying colour from the fringes down in each section of her dress. It didn’t look as even as I wanted it to, so I just smeared Diamond Stickles over everything. :)

You can really see the shine in this angled shot!

The background paper is from a K & Co mat stack, and the sentiment is from Magnolia. I find their sentiments a little expensive, when you compare them to the character stamps, but they are always in such nice fonts! Flowers are Prima, and the row of pearls and the pearl brad that are the exact same colour…. are different companies! The row is Recollections (Michaels brand) and the big one I got in a really on sale package from my local scrapbook store.

The background paper made me think of old-fashioned wallpaper – it seemed about the right era for a flapper! I love purple and green together, and I can enter it in Simon Says Stamp’s Show us your Green challenge.
