Work of Art-Background

If you need a quick card, use this stamp set to create a one of a kind Valentine

Or use it to create a background for a larger stamp.

Use multiple shades of one color or stamp off to get the OMBRE' look

To create a seasonal palate use coordinating colors of golds and oranges to get this Autumn look

These are all quick and Beautiful

Work of Art-Honoring our Military

Having seen Lone Survivor over the weekend I was inspired to make 

a card to honor our Service men and Women.  

I used this stamp set to create the background for today's card.  

I used Soft Suede, Old Olive and Always Artichoke  inks.  

The center is stamped using For Your Country in soft Suede.  The edges are brushed with soft suede as well.  It is mounted on Chocolate chip and Soft Suede.  

I think the stamp set created a nice camouflage Designer Series Paper effect.

And a Flag Card could also be used to honor our military

Work of Art-Sunflower

Sunflowers remind me of SUMMER and FALL...

I absolutely love them

This was made using different shades of yellow and gold

The center is Cajun Craze

I used Gorgeous Grunge (another favorite) for the dots and added some glitter paint in the center for additional interest

The sentiment is Feel Goods.  

Work of Art-Holiday ideas

Work of Art is a Work horse!  It can be used for many Holiday ideas Such as creating a flag for Independence day or for use for our service men and women>

Or how about a Valentine Card?  I used several different shades of pink and red for the swipes and a darker red for the hearts and sentiment.  Easy!

Work of Art-Christmas

I hope you were inspired by my recent Work of Art post.  

Have you purchased this stamp set you?  What are you waiting for?  

Here is your Christmas in July inspiration

Work of Art Wreath

I think this is my favorite of all the cards I've created so far.  It is made using 2 different colors 

and stamping off occasionally to get some contrast.  The berries are made using red glitter paint.

Easy Peasy!  This MAY Be my Christmas Card this year!

Next I made a tree using 2 different stamps to get the shape.  

Wouldn't this be a great card for the kids to make?

I used Gorgeous Grunge to make the "ornaments" and punched a star out of gold glitter paper.  

So Easy-so Beautiful

Happy Stampin!

Work of Art Wednesday!

I have found my new favorite stamp set--Work of Art, page 165 in the 2014 catalog. 

What a versatile stamp set.  I've used it to create backgrounds, objects and

 Designer Paper with color combos that meet my needs.  You are going to love this stamp set.  I've created several samples which I will share over the next few days to whet your appetite for this set.

Since it is 98 degrees here today I've shared 2 of our favorite summer past times. Boating and Ice-cream.  

Stay tuned for more samples using this stamp set.  

I hope this will inspire you!  Share your samples with me

Happy Stampin'
