~ I’ve been hopping all day! ~

April 15th, 2009 by

Good morning!!

I am so so pleased to bring you some projects/cards made with the newest Artful Inkables set, released today!   There has been much hoopla over these as we have been teasing the girls in our SWAP THREAD about them for weeks!

So, let’s get right to it.   If you came to me from Toni’s blog, you are in the right spot.   If not, you may wish to start back at Kristin’s blog to get the whole review!

My first sample is made with the Greek Garden set.    The Greek Garden  set is so unique in nature.    I have never seen anything like it.   It is packed with fun images that translate to gorgeous cards.

For this one, I wanted to make the image look like a painting.   I put it behind a cool nesties frame and then created the ‘room’ around it.   The simplicity of this one really strikes me as different for me, so I like it!

Here are the deets:

Stamps:  Artful Inkables’ Greek Garden

Colors: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Kiwi Kiss, GP White

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copics

Accessories: brads, silver cord, ruler, nesties ornate frame, dimensionals

My next sample is made from the Make A Wish set.   This is yet another unique set.   I have fallen in love with these images.   Of course, I am an Aladdin freak!

This cutie pie comes complete with his genie lamp charm.    Kristin carries those, too!  Aren’t they fun?!    I love the deep rich colors for this image.    It reminds me of a flying carpet!

Colors: Elegant Eggplant, Kiwi Kiss, GP White and Joanne’s embossed paper dp

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copics

Ok, I have one more!   My last sample is made with the Greek Garden set again.    I told you I couldn’t get enough of this set!   Would you look at this fabulous fountain?!

This one has the most luscious foliage running up around the base of the fountain…. does that just scream flower soft to you?!  It did to me!    I just noticed a trend here… I used Kiwi on all three cards!   I really need to find a new green…lol
