Well, it appears I’ve been absent for longer than I thought . . . it’s just been so hard to find any extra time to walk down to the dungeon and try to be creative.  I truly have no excuse for it other than the motivation just hasn’t been there . . .

HOWEVER . . .

last night I did make a very quick, clean and simple card (don’t faint)

First, let me thank everyone for joining us for the Ken Oliver Crafts and StencilGirl Product Blog Hop.  I hope you found tons of inspiration for using Color Burst . . .  I know I did!

Congratulations to the following readers!  If you haven’t already heard from me via email, please email ([email protected]) your snail mail addresses so we can get the prize packages out to you!

 

Gorgeous creations! The canvas is extra stunning… love the gauze you used cause I think it made such a wonderful crackled antique effect. Seems like the color bursts can just about be used for anything and with anything!

We must be kindred spirits…I love to use interior paints. I’m always cruising the paint aisle looking for cans of “oops” paint! Your work is fantastic…thanks for sharing!

 

This was a great tutorial! Thanks for the wonderful ideas! I really can’t wait for Color Bursts to hit the market!

 

LOVE this with all the layers and textures.

 

Beautiful project, Sheri! You’re such a talented artist.

 

i love all of the experimenting…bea

 

Congratulations and don’t forget to email me at [email protected]!

Okay . . . I have to admit . . . I’m hooked on Color Burst!  Ever since I opened them and started playing, I can’t stop.  I’m like a kid in the candy store . . . let’s try this and let’s try that.  It’s an addiction and one that you don’t want to quit!

When I left CHA, Ken gave me a hand full of backgrounds that he had made during this demos.  The background for my card today, is one that he made!  After I finished my watercolor of the flower, all the backgrounds I had made were just too light and this one from Ken had just the colors and boldness needed.

The image (an older Hero Arts from my stash) was water colored with Orange, Lemon Yellow, Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine Blue and Athalo Green.  The seam binding was dyed by using Alizarin Crimson and adding just a touch of Lemon Yellow.

The tag was made from the same background paper and Ken’s new Pegz Stamps, Uppercase Alphabet.

I used some (new to me) Tonic Studios layering dies to make the card:  Squares for the background and Circles for the image.  I settled on black for highlighting the image, but I couldn’t leave well enough alone and added some white doodles.  It’s been a very long time since I’ve done that!  Nothing like playing and getting back to one’s stamping roots.

I think that’s all I have.  Truthfully I got sidetracked while I was writing this post and now I’m back about 3 hours later with no train of thought left.

All I can say is . . . thanks for stopping by!
