Small Vintage Label Stamp by Darkroom Door~

Hi all!
Today I would like to share a couple of
tags created with the NEW Sm.Vintage Label by
Darkroom Door.  So cute and goes great with
the Lots of Labels set.

The tags are created in the same way, just different stamps used.
I wanted to create a Mother's card and Father's card so the stamps
reflect that. 

The background for the tags is the NEW Handwritten Ledger set with
Archival black ink. The Fine Leaves are colored in with Distress Oxide
ink.  The Sm. Vintage Label is stamped and then trimmed out.

The Vintage Office set was stamped with Archival ink in random
 spots.  The label is added along with the paper doll on each tag.
The hanging strip is using the NEW This Happened set.  I added
embossed sentiments to each tag.  Love the white words on black
cardstock.  Other products: Father's Day Sentiments, Mother's Day
Sentiments 

You can find the entire NEW release HERE.
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
Thanks for stopping by!

Reeds and Ducks by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!!

I have a couple of cards to share with you 

using the newly released Reeds and Ducks by
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.   This stamp not only makes a great lake
scene but is also awesome for patches of grass in a 

ranch scene.  Very clever!!!

Both cards are created with Panpastels.  Very easy to mark off your card
to create the water and sky.  I used the Cloud stencil to assist in
creating white fluffy clouds.

The Reeds and Ducks are stamped on a stamping platform so the silhouette
images can be re-stamped several times for a rich dark image.

Card #1
The second card is created in the same way.  I did not use a cloud stencil
just brushed straight across the card front for the sky and water.

Different shades of blues, to add waves in the water, were added.  Highlights were
 added with red, orange and yellow Panpastels for the sunset sky.

Card#2

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps products: Reeds and Ducks, Birds 2
 and Mini Greetings 2. Panpastels and Cloud stencil
Other products used: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, twine,
mini staples and cardstock.

WOW Embossing Powder also. So cool!!!!

All of the instructions are up on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog

image dimension by popping it up.  You can tuck other images in, out
and underneath to create a great looking cluster.
