Mondrian Style


Today I used Mondrian as my inspiration. When I saw this grid pattern in the graceful glass designer series paper I immediately thought of art work done by the artist Mondrian. I decided to color the back side of the vellum with my stampin' blends and then added adhesive behind the color so that it would not show. When looking for a greeting I saw this one in the Part of my Story stamp set and it was perfect!  This stamp set is free and has the best sayings for making inspirational cards. I wanted to keep the card truly plain and simple and so I white embossed it on black card stock and used my pretty label punch. I really like how this card came out. While I was putting the card together I realized all the artist who inspire me with there blogs and other forms of social media. There are so many artist out there who I do not personally know but I feel like I do by seeing the works that they create. Thank you to all who share with me and others your creative process and your final works of art.  I hope that I too am inspiring some of you to be yourself and create what you love. Make it your own and enjoy the process.

Glad we are friends!

Hello everyone! I am trying a new size for my photos.  What do you think? Is it too big?  I know when I look at other peoples blogs I like a big picture so that I can see the card up close and so I thought maybe I needed mine a little bigger.  

I ordered the incredible like you stamp set and kit. I loved the colors for this kit and they were even better in person.  This kit was really fun to put together, it is a little more challenging than some of the kits that Stampin' Up offers but the results are beautiful cards.  The stamp set is sold separately and so if you like the greetings that they used in the samples you will want to order that as well.  After making the cards in the kit I decided to play with the stamp set.  I love all the images and especially that it is a two step stamp set.  The large flower has beautiful texture and so soft looking.  I used soft colors for this card, blushing bride and soft sea foam because I wanted to give the appearance of watercolor.

This set also has many wonderful little filler stamps which are perfect for creating a meadow of flowers. I used the stripes to make my own background paper. When I stamped the stripe it did not stamp solid, but I loved the way it looked like it was distressed.  The greetings in this set are so wonderful. I love the font that they used as well as the sentiments. I know that I will use this set for so many more cards in the future.  If you would like to order this set and the kit that goes with it just go to my store and don't forget for just a few more weeks it is saleabration. For every $50 spent you can pick a saleabration item for FREE!  You will not want to miss out on that great deal!  Have a great week!
