This was FUN!!!

One of my favorite ways to get creative is to sit with the same stamps and come up with a bunch of different layouts and color combo's to use them! Here I was going for cutsey, vintage and contemporary! I used Cornish Heritage's Daisy stamp with Autumn Leaves Elegant Flourishes. Below each card is a brief description of each technique I used! Enjoy!

Here I used white glittery paper, sponged on Old Paper Ranger ink to give it more of a champange color. Then on the image I used thick embossing powder, 2 layers, and created a cracked glass effect. With the glaze and the glittery paper it is so sparkly IRL! Then added a simple rick rack ribbon to finish it!

Here I used some watercolor pencils and a blender pen to color. Layered it with one of my favorite color combo's and added some liquid glaze to give the jar a "water filled" look.

Again, I used a watercolor pencil and craft ink to color. Layered it a wee bit differently to create some blank space and all you need is a simple sentiment to finish it off!
Blessings!

Hey Theresa, I just read your comment about the picture collages...I use Picasa2, it's a program I downloaded free from the internet. I don't really use anything else on the program except the collage maker because I just love it! Just Google Picasa2 and you will find it! Have fun and I look forward to seeing some collages on your blog soon!! :)
