Spellbinders August Clear Stamp and Die Set of the Month Club…

Can you believe it’s August already?!  eek!  What I notice first is the evenings getting dusky earlier! boo!

Hope this finds you creating and feeling good anyway!

I started my card today by stamping the floral stamp in the MISTI with  Memento Desert Sand Dye ink.  I know… it’s looking pretty Summery still!  I bet I should’ve been thinking Fall colors! oh well, there’s orange here! lol

I colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

The little bit of blue is in with the green…probably hard to see.  Some of you might remember going to stamp conventions and seeing Stamps By Judith’s booth?  She always colored her green foliage with a little bit of  blue.

The background I did on watercolor paper.  Regular Distress inks pressed onto a craft sheet, spritzed with water and press the paper into the ink.  One color at a time.  Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade and Worn Lipstick.  Dab off extra color with a paper towel, more water spritzed on if the color is too strong.

I spattered with White ink after it was all dry.

I stamped a portion of the main flower image on the inside with Worn Lipstick Distress ink.  I meant to use oxide but the regular was out on the desk and I picked it up without thinking.  It looks good though.

The sentiment on the front and on the inside are from the set.

There are several to choose from in this stamp set and dies for all!  It’s great!  Two dies for the floral stamp too!  You can just die cut one side or the other since they’re separate!  Very cool idea!

This is a mini slimline size card.
