April 13 Stampfest with Lynette

On April 13 Lynette and I spent the day stamping at my house.

Lynette brought some cards she made recently.
I am so glad she was willing to make these cards again with me!

We always have a great time together...making cards, visiting and just hangin' out!

Stamps: Stampin' Up's Tropical Blossoms, Hero Arts, Inkadinkado and Judith stamps.

Inks: Distress fossilized amber, abandoned coral

SU summer sun, certainly celery

Versafine black onyx

Markers for outlines on some of the images

Washi tape from Lynette's stash

We used a kind of embossing folder stamping by adding faded jeans ink
directly onto the raised part of the Sizzix Tim Holtz Wood planks embossing folder.
Spritzed the ink with water. Placed blue cardstock paper inside and ran it through the cuttlebug.

Dried the wet paper with heat tool.
Then we enhanced the details with the distress faded jeans marker.
We colored the SU Serene Silhouettes stamp with faded jeans and forest moss markers.
Huffed before stamping. Our card base is gray with a fiber look.

For this card, we searched through many stamp sets to find the perfect "flowers", using stamps from
