Leaves from Fred

By Yvonne

  • Stamp – Fred B. Mullett
  • Cardstock – Bazzill and WorldWin
  • Technique: Colored image with Copic Markers. Distressed image edges and inked with Creamy Brown ColorBox Chalk Ink. Tore bottom edges of cardstock and added two colors of raffia to complete the card.

This is a new Fred Mullett stamp from a series of new images he has. If you ever get a chance to take a class from Fred, I highly recommend it! I met him last year at a class and it was really great, and you can count on high entertainment value to boot!

Get a load of these hats

By Yvonne

Gotta start somewhere

By Yvonne

  • Stamp – “Garden View” by Stampington & Company
  • Cardstock – WorldWin and Bazzill
  • Technique – Tiles are created by cutting the image in 1-inch squares, layered on cardstock. Inked edges of each “tile.”

Inspired by a card from the January 2011 issue of Vamp Stamp News. This is my first post here and, as I said, I’ve got to start somewhere.
