Unbridled Beauty - Stampin,up

 Hello

These scenic cards were created using Unbridled Stamp Set from Stampin,up


The image was stamped, coloured with pencils, then die cut using Everyday Details dies.


Textured Noted dies were used to cut white card. This was stamped twice with the tree image, then several times with the grassy image using both first and second impressions.The horse was stamped on to another piece of card then fussy cut. All images were coloured with pencils.



Textured Notes dies were again used here then the scene stamped using the different images. This was coloured by shading on inks.  The image panel was mounted over paper embossed in the cloud folder.



This scene was stamped, then coloured with pencils.

Twine, gems, brads, paper slides, trinkets and pebbles were used to embellish.

Have a great day

49 and Market ARToptions Rouge Ephemera - 8x8 Album Cover


Hello,

I hope you are having a crafty day! Today's post is the cover for the album I have created using the 49 and Market ARToptions Rouge Ephemera Packs. I have continued with using the Fabscraps and Stampin' Up papers and washi tapes for my layers on the cover. 



The album base is actually from the 49 and Market Moonlit Garden 8x8 Kit, which I saved and used for this album instead. Please be sure to check out the Album I created using the goodies from the Moonlit Garden Kit and other packs.





I left the spine and back of the album plain and have used multiple strands of a red and white twine as the closure. As always, rhinestones and stickles for added bling!

Next up, I will have another album which I have created using more goodies from 49 and Market.

See you again soon!
