More Regional Swaps

Here are 3 swap cards from Regionals. They were all stamped using the Natural Beauty Stamp set.

The first card on the left was stamped by a lady named Judy. She didn't put her last name on the back of the card. She stamped the background cardstock with the Paisley background stamp. The colours of cardstock are Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery and Whisper White. Blender pens were used to colour in the flowers. Notice how the edges of the Certainly Celery cardstock were distressed using the distressing tool from the Cutter Kit.

The card on the right was stamped by Carmen Carnegie. Along with the Natural Beauty set, Carmen also used the Wonderful Words set. The colours of cardstock are Brocade Blue, Bashful Blue and Marigold Morning. Note that there was no Neutral cardstock used on this card. Instead, Carmen used a reverse method to colour the image. The image appears as though it is glowing. To achieve this, bleach was put in an Aqua Painter and used to "colour in" the image. The image was stamped with Black StazOn so it would run.

The last card was stamped by Holly Eastabrook. The card stock colours are Not Quite Navy, Yo Yo Yellow and Whister White. I believe she used a Salted Background Technique to achieve the background efffect. She then sponged different colours randomly oever the cardstock. Using Bordering Blue ink, she stamped the words stamp. On top of that, she stamped the image in Basic Black and coloured the image in with Stampin' Write Markers. Note how she put the ribbon embellishment on. A smaller piece of ribbon was folded over the horizontal ribbon and adhered using the Silver Brad.

Keep checking back for more swap cards. I am also putting together my class/workshop lists for May/June. If you would like my class list e-mailed to you, please send me an e-mail at staceysstampingstudio@shaw.ca.
