The Amy Doodle Of It All . . .

Summers End Color Palette

This Color Palette made me think of Summer and how it's sadly coming to an end. I love the deep blues with the soft peach and taupe. 

 

I used some sea shell stamps from Stamp it up, vellum, cardstock, and the Marvy punch System. Threw in some rhinestones and pearls from Martha Stewart for a simple elegant look, as well as a Ali Edwards Stamp from Technique Tuesday. 

Sigh....Goodbye Summer, it was nice knowing you....

 

Back to Creating!

After a month off I am back to creating! Yipee ! I just got some Luminarte Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist from the Scrap Shack.

And I thought . . . .PLAYTIME : )

First off you'll notice quite a difference in this mist from your Tattered Angels. Talk about consentrated color, WOW! Love how vibrant they are. I started with a small piece of watercolor paper. (you don't have to, but I love the way it soaks up the color) a paper towel and some Tattered Angel mist in Midnight Blue. I wanted to lightly mist the paper with the blue so the design under the stencil would not be bright white. I patted the paper dry, and it took the paper towel pattern which was kinda fun.

(For this project though you won't see it on the end result.)

Next I layed my Tattered Angel stencil on  . . . 

The I took my Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist

(Teal Zircon, Blue FLame, Snap Dragon) 

 

 

And Started spraying from the top down lightest color to darkest color

 

 
Take the Stencil off

 

 

I wanted a few more spray splotches on the design so I added just a bit . . .

 

 

And Here's the final layout

I'm so in LOVE with this Stamp!!!

I have said it before and I'll say it again....Mo Manning's images are simply Divine!

I especially love the fairy/frog image...it looks like a fun dream, or a peter pan-ish kind of moment!

 

Halloween moment

I had a serious urge to make a Halloween card tonight...must be the new Studio G Halloween stamps I scored! Card turned out fun but I couldn't wait to take the picture, so the Stickles are still wet!
