PURPLE IS THE COLOR

I've had my mojo leave me for awhile, and I think she's back as I've been creating this week.  The photo of the "little girls on the sewing machine" is a HIT (  http://www.heartsintouch.com ) stamp.  I colored this stamp with a light red (almost a pink), violet and blue with my DerWent water color pencils.  I sure like how they lay down on most any paper.  I cut this out and affixed it to pink card stock which was layered onto a violet (purple) card stock, and layered onto some "unknown" paper that I found in my stash.  This was all layered onto some dark blue card stock.  The word stamps are from Creative Cafe clear stamps by Hampton Art.

The "Garden Lady" stamp came from HIT (http://www.heartsintouch.com) as well.  I colored this art piece with greens, oranges (salmon colored) and purple from the DerWent water color pencils.  I outlined the image with a Gold Leafing Pen from Krylon  (http://www.krylon.com/ ) which you can find in any hardware &/or crafting store.  I cut this image out and layered it on a Glimmer Mist technique card stock that carried the same color theme as the image.  I then made a bow out of some organza ribbon and affixed that with a brad onto my card stock that I had deckle cut, and layered all atop a purple Cuttlebugged card stock.  Cuttlebug is a product of Provo Craft (http://www.provocraft.com/ ).

 

The last photo is from I Brake for Stamps (http://www.ibrakeforstamps.com ) as are the words.  I colored the image with my DerWent water color pencils, outlined it with Gold Leafing pen from the Krylon company (http://www.krylon.com/ ).  (I did the same with the word stamped image.) With the images colored I layered these upon some purple card stock and outlined these in the gold leafing pen.     I  then used my Fiskars edge punch that I bought from Wal Mart (I believe), to give the edge a bit of a "lacy look" on the purple card stock.  I then layered the images onto this purple card stock and viola' I was finished.

Now back to my creating table for some more fun and creativity.  Enjoy and I do hope you'll leave me a comment.  Until next time...
