Don't you just love this set!! Butterflies and beautiful vines and ferns. This set will breathe new life into your collection of Tapestry Peg Stamps. The possibilities are endless.
It was so hard to decide which of the new sets to start designing with (since I loved all of them) as always the endless possibilities are swirling around in my head.
I began my card by stamping my sentiment in versamark and embossing it with Adriondack Clay Embossing Powder. The sentiments are from Rubber Stamp Tapestry's Word Plate 1- I love the versatility of this set. Notice that I left room to stamp a little of the delicate vine to the left and the right of my sentiment.
Next I stamped the delicate vines using an image from the New Nature Plate 4 clear stamp set. I stamped the vine using Versamagic- Hint of Pesto -this is a multi surface ink that looks like chalk and is available in dew drops.
The first peg set I decided to play with is "Spring Offerings" I just adore the little vase. I decided to create the three beautiful bouquets of flowers which I framed using my scalloped nestabilities. I determined from my nest which scalloped oval would be the right size for 3 ovals on my 5" x 7" card. Then I cut and embossed the three ovals. In order to highlight the embossed edge of my ovals I placed a smaller scalloped oval inside my diecut oval (to work as a mask/stencil) and using Pebble's Shimmering Chalks I chalked the embossed edges of the scallop. I used my yellow shimmering chalks to color two of the scalloped diecuts and then I chalked the third image with a orange shimmering chalk. This 3rd diecut will be my center image.
Next I placed my vase near the bottom of my scalloped oval diecut. Using the VersaMagic Aloe Vera, I added tiny leaves to the vase. Then I added tiny flowers using Versamagic - Mango Madness, Pink Grapefruit and Perfect Plumeria. To give the vase additional depth and dimension, I chalked the right handside of the vase with mauve chalk.
For this design I really wanted a wide ribbon, but my assortment of wider ribbons was very limited - so I improvised and selected a section of paper from a sheet of paper from Best Creations which gave me a beautiful stripe to place behind my images. I used foam strips to mount the diecut images on my card to add extra depth to the design.
Sorry for the laspe in my posts....but don't worry- I have been busy playing with tons of new products - so stayed tuned....March will be filled with tons of new projects!!
