For my first card I used the Want to Fly set. I stamped the main image using black Memento ink. The background was chalked and the the flowers and butterfly were colored using my Copics. I then used a black marker to darken the edge. There is room on the card to journal or just leave it like it is...you could also add a title to this card to tie it into your pictures.
For the second card I wanted to showoff this wonderful Lotsa Dotsa set. This set is just fun, so I pulled out three colors of ink and stamped the three circles along the side of the card. I then used the same inks along the edge of the card. I added some rhinestones to the center of each circle for a little bling. There is lots of room to journal on this card or just add a title...this one could also work turned on it's side on your layout!
I hope you'll pull out your stamps and think about how you can create some Project Life cards using them.
Happy crafting....Lynda

What is a Project Life card?
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of stamping up some project life cards. I may actually steal that idea for class at my local scrapbook store
ReplyDeleteReally this idea is good use of the "tools" we have at hand and colors can be used to add emphasis to the photos.
ReplyDeleteNice cards, Lynda. I'm glad you explained Project Life, because I was puzzled. I don't do that kind of scrapbooking, but I know it is popular. I still do the old-fashioned 12x12 regular scrapbooks with photos, memorabilia and journaling.
