QKD New Release Tuesday Hop!!!! 2010 May WIS Kit!!! Week 2 of Newness!

Another Happy New Tuesday Hop Everyone!! I'm so excited to bring you this new GORGEOUS newness from Maigan-Lynn straight from the Castle to you!!!

But first...if you've come here from the WIS blog then you are on the right track!! If not please start HERE so that you don't miss anything new!!

Today we worked with the following sketch:
I decided to work with the elements within the 2010 May WIS kit. I chose the flower arrangement as well as the beautiful and so true sentiment "live for today". My card base is the cover of an old pamphlet that I had from a vintage store local to me. I used bits of cardstock from my scrap drawer to create the backing for the gorgeous flowers which I've colored with my Copics.

Next, I used some scraps from my new project last week so you'll notice some tonal similarities. Reduce and reuse my friends!! =)

My sentiment is punched out using my SU! word punch and adhered to one layer of oval die cut cardstock. That layer is then popped up using 3-D foam adhesive onto a 2" oval punch out of a vintage-esque looking paper.

I love how this came out and I hope it inspires you! Now off you go to Anita's blog for some delicious goodness!!

Thanks for visiting and don't forget that QKD is now all in grey, laser etched rubber!! Wait until you see the intricate detail when you stamp!! It is TRE-FABU!!

Till next time!!

XOXO

QKD New Release Tuesday Hop!!!! 2010 May WIS Kit!!!

Happy New Tuesday Hop Everyone!! I'm so excited to bring you this new GORGEOUS newness from Maigan-Lynn straight from the Castle to you!!!

But first...if you've come here from the WIS blog then you are on the right track!! If not please start HERE so that you don't miss anything new!!

Today we worked with the following sketch:

I had the SHEER pleasure of working with the May WIS kit featuring Suri in all of her beauty!! I rotated the sketch 90 degrees to make it work better for my main image. I wanted to stay with summery colors of yellow and orange accented with blues and greens. So, per usual, I went first to my scrap drawer first.

I pulled out my last remaining piece of my Love, Elsie self-adhesive fabric "paper" and set my Copic colored image that I'd layered with yellow on top of it. The blue just made it all POP!!
I then ran a strip of blooming yellow DP behind it all and criss crossed it with a vingage-esque piece running horizontally. I used similar vibe vintage ribbon as my accent, matted with royal blue cardstock.
I used the sentiment JOY from this set punched out with my SU! word punch.

This is truly a set you cannot miss grabbing before it is gone!!!
