Are you ready to see some goodies? Here we go!
If you are following the hop along in order, you have just arrived from the wonderful Sylwia Schreck's blog, and I am certain that she has made some delightful things with this set.
It's my turn to try to dazzle you!
I used the stamps (Eastern Beauty #143675) and dies (Eastern Medallions #143725) from the Eastern Palace Premier bundle (#147207) They are so fun to play with! I love to make coordinating projects to give with gifts. This could be used for all kinds of things, but I had birthday in mind.
I was playing with the stamps, and Gold embossed the images on a 4"x5¼"panel of Kraft, then used the watercolor pencils and a Clear Wink of Stella brush pen that I have refilled with water about 3 times. It acts like an Aqua-painter with some shimmer.
Then I thought, what would this look like if I diecut the centers? Well, it looked great!! So I did them all! And some of the pieces fell out.. oops. So I went with it and trimmed the panel down to 3¾"x5", then stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso.
A little more stamping on the inside with Soft Sky and Early Espresso, and this card is done!
This Curvy Keepsake box was done is a similar fashion, but I Clear embossed the little flower-like image repeatedly on the Soft Sky parts. And I adhered vellum behind the cut outs so no goodies would stick out 😉
Here you can see the Clear embossed parts. I kinda love it 😁
Last up is the gift tag. There is plenty of space to write the recipient's name on the tag. I used Versamark ink to create this watermark look. And the Kraft flower with so easy to make, and then die cut with the dies! I could play with this bundle for a long time!
That is it for me, and if you started with Allison Okamitsu, then I am the last stop. If not, then be sure to head over to see what Allison has created!
