Heather's Big Bold Blossoms, 112A and 113B were designs at the request of Heather "Keribou" Strenswil, long time Cyberstampers Teacher/Demonstrator.

They were presented (and demonstrated) for the first time at a special class during gg designs Store of the Week Celebration, July, 2006. Click on the illustration to the right >>>>>>
to visit Heather's class and see the many projects she presented.

We are looking forward to seeing what customers do with these versatile images.

These 'parts' stamps are WONDERFUL! I haven't used them all,
yet...but, I love 'em! I promise to play more with the others when
school's out.

The' how-to's'???
They're embarrassingly easy.
This one's stamped with Brilliance Aurora with a Cosmic Copper
center. The leaves are stamped with VersaMagic Aloe Vera.
The butterfly (Autumn Leaves), which was masked before stamping the
flower, is black embossed and painted with Twinkling H2O's . The
panel is edged with a gold Krylon pen and mounted on a background
paper panel, which is Krylon edged and mounted to the card.
(The sentiment is Purple Onion Designs.)

<<<<This card design is after a a sample card
on the Penny Black site.
Makes a quick card!

From Linda Blackbird....two more cards using "parts" from "Heather's Blossoms."

AND......she sends comments
These stamps are so much fun! (I love that little bursty~thing* used in the background on the bottom
card! It's similiar to another design that I have in 2 sizes from gg designs...)

*little bursty~thing--a technical term!   : )

and directions:

I included these directions when I sent the scans to a group, so I left them on for you to read....just in case you feel like stamping today!

(Always a smart alec!!! Everybody KNOWS gg designs doesn't stamp!!!)

Top card~~The daisy was stamped on a rose colored background panel in Perfect Medium and clear embossed. Panel was covered in Dark Moss FluidChalk ink and excess buffed off with a paper towel. Flower scroll was stamped on the panel in Encore Honeydew. The center of the daisy was highlighted with gold foil and then overstamped in Chestnut Roan FluidChalk ink and clear embossed. This panel, along with a narrow cream panel, was mounted to another panel of the same rose colored design, and mounted to a cream colored card. WHEW!

Inspiration for this came from one that I saw in a stamp store featuring Hero Arts. I don't know if credit goes to Hero Arts or the stamp store (Stamp On It in Essex, VT).... It's a great idea, though!

6 x 8 glazed tile purchased at a home improvement center.
Stamped in ColorBox Fluidchalks and Brilliance, then heat set.
The top portion was masked with freezer paper and the stamped portion was sprayed with fixative and then sealed with gloss acrylic spray sealer.
Flowers for the dry erase pen were stamped on adhesive backed paper.

Janet's Bougainvillea.

Pen and ink, invites using watercolor washes. An easy technique for those of us who are still in the "one stamp and it's done" stage of the stamping arts.

SS 1-- Janet's Plant--$8.00

One stamp and it's done....is probably not of as much interest to those of you who do intricate and exacting collage and layering, but a boon to those of us who want a quick card.

Because of its shape (virtually square) it can be layered effectively on a larger card.
