JustRite-Spring Cheer

Hi Everyone this past weekend it really did feel like spring was in the air here in NS.  I was able to get together with one of my crafty peeps, Kathy Jo, on Sunday for a afternoon of playing with Faber Castell Gelatos.  We decided to try to use them by mixing the gelatos with water and brushing the color on to get a watercolor effect, so this is how I colored the JustRite background stamp French  Rose and also the two smaller stamps from JustRite Black-Eyed Susan Vintage Lables Five.  I really love how the roses turned out, I added some Glossy accents to the yellow roses to try to get them to pop a little but it is hard to capture that in the pic. The sentiment is from JustRite Botanical Medallions & Banners, bird is from JustRite Musical Notes Lables Twenty. I also used JustRite die Vintage Labels Five Die, and Spellbinders Labels Twenty die. The colors of the Gelatos that I used are Cotton Candy, Bubble Gum and Lemon.

Fairy Birthday Card

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a wonderful day. I wanted to share with you a card I made for my beautiful and wonderful niece. I made this card using 3 pattern papers from DCWV cardstock so I could enter it into the challenge at Hiding in my Craftroom. They have a challenge this week to use 3 patterned papers with a chance to win $100 in DCWV goodies, and they are going to have 3 winners. How awesome is that!

To make this card I used Crocus Fairy stamp from Sweet Pea Stamps, Butterfly is from JustRite Stamps Black-Eyed Susan Vintage Labels Five, and Happy Birthday Sentiment is from JustRite Family Garden stamp set. I am not sure where the sentiment on the inside is from, I bought it second hand at a local craft store. I also used Spellbinder dies Opulent Ovals, and Detailed Scallops.

JustRite Challenge #113-In The Background

Hi everyone it's time for another Justrite Challenge.  This weeks challenge is to create a card using a background stamp or any JustRite stamps to create your own custom designer paper. To make my card I used some inspiration from Darsie Bruno's tutorial video Butterfly Vines Cling Background Stamp.

I first stamp my white cardstock using Justrite's background stamp Moroccan Lattice using VersaMark and The Artful Stamper embossing powder Queen's Gold. Then following the tutorial I used Faber Castell Gelatos neutral colors along with a baby wipe to apply the colors over the background stamp.  I then applied my background to my gold cardstock mat.

Next I used Justrite's Black-Eyed Susan stamps and Justrite's die Vintage Lables Five to create my center, I also colored this with the Gelatos. I then applied this to a gold die cut using Justrite's Vintage Labels Three.  I then stamped out two Black-Eyed Susans and colored them using the Gelatos. I then fussy cut these out and pop them up using 3-D dots.
