Welcome to the October Artisan Blog Hop! This month we're showing you an array of ideas with the gorgeous Country Home stamp set and coordinating products. I LOVE this suite! It has so many great neutral accessories along with it that I've been using to no end - and that yellow! Mmmm...
This card is ALL about the texture. I used the Chicken Wire Elements as a template to sponge through on the base and used some under the sentiment, frayed the Braided Linen Trim, used the Tin Tile DTIEF on Country Lane designer paper and then tore it and sanded it, popped on a Galvanized Clip and splattered Frost White Shimmer Paint across the whole lot! Woah, catch your breath!
Supplies for project one:
Stamps: Country Home
Inks: Smoky Slate, Momento Tuxedo Black
Papers: Smoky Slate, Whisper White, Country Home Designer Series Paper
Tools/Accessories: Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Frost White Shimmer Paint, Braided Linen Trim, Galvanized Clips, Chicken Wire Elements, Sponge Dauber
While we're talking fun with texture, this next card is a Christmassy take on the Country Home stamp set. I slathered the Frost White Shimmer paint over Coastal Cabana embossed cardstock which turned it into more of a Pool Party hue.
Supplies for project two:
Stamps: Country Home, Hearts Come Home
Inks: Momento Tuxedo Black, Pool Party Marker
Papers: Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade
Tools/Accessories: Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Frost White Shimmer Paint (applied with a tissue), Silver Metallic Thread, Coloured Doilies, Stampin' Blends - Old Olive, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake
