Since I have just finished getting everything back in its place after my Stamp Buffet last weekend, I decided to minimize the clutter by sticking with Mixed Bouquet (see my previous post) for a while. I had seen this box by SCS's CharmWarm over the weekend and wanted to try some of my craft inks on kraft cardstock.
Here's the first half sheet along with collected accessories :
I should have taken a picture before I did the stitches because I think they made quite a difference. Once I moved on to my other soft subtle craft pads I decided to get a picture before the stitches- mostly because I REALLY wasn't impressed with the piece in front of me and I wanted to remember just how unimpressed I was. Just before snapping the picture I found a piece of plaid ribbon - another find from Jen70 - that just happened to bring out all the colors. Maybe there is hope.
Here's before stitches:
Here's the after stitches shot:
What will become of these collections? I'm really not sure but stay tuned...I can hardly wait to get back to them.
In the meantime, if you are intrigued by the possibilities of kraft cardstock, you might want to check out Heather Nichol's blog, Pine is Here and her SCS gallery. Heather is an incredibly talented stamper who is kind of like the queen of kraft cardstock. She creates magic with it on a regular basis!
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to chat again soon!
