Hi Everyone – Happy Wednesday night.
So….. I know I thought long and hard about the hostess set "Asian Artistry"…. but it goes to show you should push your comfort zone. I've loved playing with this set – and am not finished yet. :-) One more sketch for you tonight. You may remember that I showed you a white and black version for my hubby's birthday and a much more feminine version for the PPA challenge. For this version, I really wanted to make a strong statement using primarily black, red and white and play with textures.
urz plate for the background and wanted the bird to be really prominent.
- I used the new texturz plate for the background. I really liked the way the lines of the texturz plate played off the bamboo.
- I stamped the bird image using Black StazOn, I then used the piecing technique and stamped the bird again, using Real Red classic ink and coloring it in with brush end of the Real Red marker. I carefully cut around the bird and mounted it onto the original image using a Stampin' Dimensional.
- The image was stamped on Whisper White – always my go to paper when I want crisp clean lines. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny WIshes set… one of my absolute favorite sentiment sets
- The card is an A2 size used vertically
- The first red matt is 3 7/8 x 2 7/8
- The black matt is 3 3/4 x 2 3/4
- The final red matt is a much thinner matt and is 3 1/2 x 2 5/8
- I used Real Red grosgrain ribbon to finish it off
- The stamp set is the Asian Artistry hostess set
- The sentiment is stamped in Black StazOn
On the personal front: I'm finally off the pills and beginning to feel better – although I think it's going to take a few more days for them to work their way out of my system. I'm hoping that I will be able to do some playing over the next few days, especially with my sneak peak products. Tonight's post though will not be a card – but something using the decor elements.
As always, thanks for spending time in my little area of the stamping blogosphere.
Peace and hugs
Jaydee
