EBE SUMMER OF STAMPING IT'S A JUNGLE

Jungle-2.jpg

This one features a “grass hut” background using the Never-ending Fringe die and some of that glorious Lia Griffith Crepe Paper! I LOVE how it compliments the whole idea!

These tiki guys just CRACK ME!!! And, even tho I’m not an avid fan of the Survivor show, I thought it was HILARIOUS to have the tikis telling you like it is; the inside of the card reads: “Have a wild and wonderful birthday!” The dudes look like they were tie-dyed. LOVE THAT.

Here I just cut a circle into my top panel and popped it up on the base card so I could layer all these images—it’s nothing fancy, right?! But it just draws your eye in to all these little details by clustering them together.

Yes, that’s my sloppy watercolor on all these samples; keepin’ it loose and keepin’ it real, my friends! (chortle)

EBE SUMMER OF STAMPING MONDO ANTHURIUM

Sharing more inspo today in the way of samples made with the Mondo Anthurium. (matching dies HERE).

The Hibiscus and Plumeria are more widely known tropical flowers, but Anthuriums always make me stop right in my tracks because they are so exotic and unique looking—makes me feel like I’m deep in the heart of a lush, tropical jungle or drifting in a canoe along a secret river with gorgeous vegetation all around . . .

This one I clear embossed with Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn ink onto watercolor paper, prior to watercoloring; white embossed the stripes background onto a separate panel and then blended the palest blue gently over the top so it enhanced but didn’t distract from the Anthuriums.

Anthurium-4.jpg

Here I clear embossed Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide onto VELLUM card stock before mounting to a simple white card; the gold washi tape just adds one more stroke of elegance to an otherwise super simple design and brings out the gold embossed sentiment a wee bit more.

Anthuriums come in beautiful hues of soft and medium pinks and even bold reds! But, the white ones are equally stunning and I couldn’t tell you which ones I like the most because I find them all just gorgeous (happy eyes, happy sighs)

Thank you for visiting me on the blog today! Have a gooder! (chinkle!)

feat. Aloha Stamps & Dies | Tilt & Rock Die Set ; Palm trees from Jungle Stamps & Dies

Because the above are still shots, you may not realize it, but in these samples ↑ ↑ you can make the hula girl’s skirt TILT to and fro or things like the palm trees ROCK back and forth using the Tilt N’ Rock Die Set EEP!!!

Here’s a VIDEO TUTORIAL on how to use this fun die set! Now, just think of all the different things you can add this kind of motion to . . . I know your wheels are turnin’ like mad, aren’t they?!

feat. Aloha Stamps & Dies

This serene beauty from the set reminds me of a trip the Mister and I took over 35 years ago—our one and only trip (so far) to Hawaii. This needs to be rectified because I’d really love to go again, but I get SO crabby in hot climates . . . When I was making this design, I just loved how the “cool” color scheme looked so calming and inviting, with just the little pops of yellow here and there.

If you’d like more info on products that coordinate well and were used in creating these samples, please visit the release page HERE; they are showcased there for your convenience.

Thank you for taking a moment to stop by my little place here, out of what I’m sure is a busy summer season! July is our family’s travel month, so we’ve been on the go, here and there and the weather has been AMAZING (‘cept for that wretched heat wave we had a few weeks back!)
