CPS Sketch # 280 - The {Stamps} of Life

Hello!  It's time for another CPS sketch project.  This is our last week working with the {Stamps} of Life... but not my last.  ; )

thanks so much

I've been doing several fun / cutesy projects this month, so I thought it would be fun to change things up a bit.  I used very natural, organic feeling products (wood, twine, straw-grained paper).



Thanks ever so much for visiting,
Lisa

hi


This is a bit modern and fits a clean and simple style.  I had fun with the color choice too.  Bright colors are all the rage, so I went for my new Ranger seasonal inks.  Perfect, right?

    CPS Sketch # 279 - The {Stamps} of Life

    Hello!  It's time for another CPS Sketch project.  I'm still creating with the {Stamps} of Life and having  a blast!

    Sweet Pea



    This was a quick and fast project... I think the most time was spent on the fussy cuts.

    I layered the same Spearmint ink by stamping off the solid green pea pod once before stamping for my image (generation stamping).  The stripes were stamped directly and the separate peas were stamped twice.  Because the stamps are clear, it's easy to stamp the images a second time in the exact same spot.  Perfect, right?  And all the green inks match, because it's all the same ink!

    CPS Sketch # 278 - the {Stamps} of Life

    Hello!  It's time for another CPS Sketch project.  I'm still creating with the {Stamps} of Life and have another project to share.

    Scattered

    This was just a cool, Cool, COOL sketch!  As soon as I saw it, I knew the hexagons2love set would be the perfect image set to use!

    I used lots of dimension too.  I love the clean lines to this project... and if I were to remake this, I might be tempted to add texture to the matte layer.  What do you think?

    Happy Birthday

    This is subtle... but it fits.  I promise!  I used the Peacock Toile Backgrounder with Peacock Brilliance ink pad to create a pretty base for a birthday card.  This will be delivered to my friend this week.  I hope she likes it!

    CPS Sketch # 277 - The {Stamps} of Life

    Hello!  It's time for another CPS sketch project.  This month is sponsored by the {Stamps} of Life.  I love the quality and variety of images by SOL... fun images that I'm putting to good use all month.

    friends
     
    I was inspired to create a patterned paper with my stamps from the daisies4you stamp set.  My jumping point was the Garden pattern from the So Happy Together series by Echo Park.
     
     
     
    What do you think?  A close match?  The colors were easy to match with the Clearsnap ColorBox fluid chalk inks.  Super fun!
