Highdesert Stamper – Artistic Inkspirations

I went out to my stamp room to make a card for the COLOR Guest Designer challenge my friend Sharon Field in Fla. has on her blog….. I got a bit sidetracked. I had been wanting to decorate some more of the little books I had found at our local drug store… someone asked where I got these since they are plain and READY to stamp and decorate.  I don’t know if they have any more in, since I bought all they had several months ago. Who knows… they may have a ton more! So go check out your local drug stores in their school supply and notebook section… you may find some treasures to decorate!  Here is my latest little book. It’s not here any more…. it sprouted wings and flew out with the mailman…someone lucky is getting a surprise!!

I tried making it bigger…. it got so big you couldn’t see the whole book on the page.. so just click on the picture and it will bring it up larger in a new window.

I used several little punches and a band of “homemade” grass.  I didn’t have any more of my favorite vanilla smooch spray (used it all up…that stuff is addictive to use, and use, and use…..)  So I tried the Champagne shimmer paint! Boy is that fun to work with!  I added a pearl from our new jazzy pearls available from SU to set off the flower a bit. What do you think??  Would you like to get one of these in the mail?

I have added a lot of newly retired stamp sets to my retirement list for sale. I have also added a list of FULL PACKS of Designer Papers to the list.

Monday I had a retired sale on all my inks, papers, and some stamp sets for my customers. Those who came had the opportunity to make  a little gift card.

I love the new stamp sets in the Mini and the new catty. I designed the card using Bouquet Bunch so they could use some of the new in colors to color the flowers and vase.  The base of the card was stamped with En Francais, over stamped with With all my Heart, both in So Saffron, then the matt was created with the new Scallop border sizzlit rectangle using the new Daffodil Delight cardstock. They used the different in color markers and some of the newer colors to color their flowers and vase. Ribbon is the new 1/8″ grosgrain ribbon in Daffodil Delight.  They also had the choice of using the new Marina Mist and various blues to make the same card.  After everyone was gone, I took all the pieces left over and modified the design which will be posted tomorrow!!
