Latrice *Day 3*

I just love the design of this card by Latrice.  The scallops along the side are such a fun design choice. And her incorporation of patterned paper into her design is superb!

Here's my take. I decided to create a jumbo sized tag:

All patterned papers by Lost and Found 6 x 6 pad (Breeze). Penny black Gossamer stamped with VersaFine Black Ink, embossed with clear embossing powder, and colored with Copic Markers. Sentiment by SRM Stickers.

Here's a peek at a couple of new cards I have on the Mementos blog today:

Latrice *Day 2*

Here's another great card by Latrice:

And here's my take:

I began by stamping Penny Black ...All You Need onto Sticky Back Canvas using VersaMark Ink.  I heat embossed using white embossing powder.  Next I applied Distress Stains (Vintage Photo, Wild Honey, and Walnut Stain) to the canvas.  I blended the colors using Picket Fence Distress Stain.  Once dry, I gently wiped off the stamped image with a baby wipe and filled in some areas using a white gel pen.  The canvas was then adhered to a piece of Penny Black mix and Match cardstock and wrapped with twine.  The background is patterned paper which was pierced and then inked with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

Thanks for visiting, my friends!

Inspired by...Latrice!

This week's featured artist is a multi-talented chic whose work I just adore... it's Latrice!  You will definitely want to check out her BLOG, it's loaded with inspiration.  Here's her first inspiration card for today:

The colors on this card are so eye-catching! And I just love the texture of the canvas.

Here's my take:

To create the background I began by inking Neenah Tiara White cardstock with Broken China, Peeled Paint, and Evergreen Bough Distress Ink by rubbing the ink pad directly on the paper.  Next, I inked Penny Black 40-047 Delicate Background with Picket Fence Distress Stain.  I lightly spritzed the stamp with water and stamped the background.  The flower, Penny Black Cheerful, was stamped with VersaFine Black Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  It was then colored with Copic markers, cut out, and layered onto the card.  Sentiment by SRM stickers.

Thanks for popping by- see ya tomorrow with another great card by Latrice!
