Brakin' For Flowers...

Happy Monday!  It's time to begin another week and what better way to do it than with flowers?  I know you've seen this image from I Brake For Stamps before.....every once in awhile, I have to pull it out--it's such a gorgeous image, I just can't help it!

The Kerr Jar image can be found in the I Brake For Stamps store.  Don't forget to save a little by using my coupon code while you are there!  (SAVE10JANE)  There are so many wonderful images to choose from, sit back and take your time :)

 To create my card, I started by creating a wash of color on the background piece.  then, I colored and trimmed the Kerr Jar image and popped it up on dimensional tape.  It's a great image for a birthday greeting, thank you note or just an all around "thinking of you" kind of card!

Have a great day!  Jane

You're Special

Happy Easter Week!  It's Monday and that makes it an I Brake For Stamps kind of day!  After a long week, last week, I was able to spend some time in the Studio.  It was good for my soul and now, I have lots of projects to share!

Easter kind of snuck up on me this year so, instead of a cute bunny (get this one....there's only TWO left!) or a little chick  (this one is going FAST!) or these that you can get RIGHT away, this week, I have flowers!

I love I Brake For Stamps' beautiful Kerr jar image and I know I've used it a bunch, but it's just so darn fun to color!  Visit my Enjoy post or Lacey Spring Flowers to see some other Kerr inspiration.


I was in the mood to water color--I've been working on the no line water color technique.  You can see the ink I used to stamp this so, I'm not quite there, but I like the finished product just the same ;)

Spring is a time for new so, if you are itching for some new goodies of the stampy kind, go visit my pal, Della, and pick up a few things--you can save using my code: SAVE10JANE.  Have fun!

Be Awesome!  Jane

Enjoy

Happy Monday, Friends!  Thanks for stopping by!  Today, I am sharing a fun embossed and water colored project.

I like finding different ways to use the same image.  This Kerr jar image, from I Brake For Stamps, is a favorite image of mine. I've used it here for Fall Flowers and also here for Lacey Spring Flowers. You'll notice the versatility of the image with each use.  This makes for a great stamp to have in your cabinet!

I started by heat embossing the image on kraft card stock.  Using water colors (Koi by Sakura), I added color to the image.  Once dry, I cut the image using an oval die and the Out of the Box technique.  To finish things off, I added the sentiment "Enjoy the good life."  You will find it on the Beach Theme Full Sheet.

As usual, I had to add a few pieces of bling for some finishing sparkle!  You can pick up some IBFS goodness for yourself--be sure to use my savings code:  SAVE10JANE

TTFN, Jane
