Bookmarks with Prickley Pear rubber stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new post made for Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.

This week the designers were challenged to make bookmark.

So here is mine and as you know, bookmark should be totally flat if we really want to use it inside a book.

As you can see I stamped the images and water colored some of them to get this pretty vintage/monochromatic look.
I just added a bit of glossy accents for a bit of dimension and added a minimal tied ribbon and just one gemstone embellishment on the top.

Stamps used:
Heart Dandelion
Vase with Heart
Blobby Flowers 2 clear set
You are most welcome to Prickley Pear Rubber stamps blog to see more bookmark inspiration!

New fancy card made with new Prickley Pear stamps and water colored. The IamRoses flowers were misted to fit the colors of the card.

  PPRS Stamps used:
Jar full of daisies
Scalloped circle oval 5- sentiment

Summer canvas

This altered canvas was made with Parickley Pear rubber stamp Life doesn't have to be perfect as the statement using Tando Creative  and Tim Holtz stencils, DecoArt texture paste, different mists and Creative Embellishments chipboards. The image is from Tim Holtz Lost relatives set and the background cardstock is from Canvas Corps. I made is totally  monochromatic as lately I am in love with yellow and 50 shades of grey (not the book, the colors only).

 I enter this piece to some web challenges:

Scrapmatts tag

This fancy bright altered tag was made with texture background made with Scrapmatts stencil and texture paste and them painted over with liquid acrylic paints. 

Each chipboard piece was painted with black actylic paint and glued over the tag.

The sentiment is from Prickley Pear Rubber stamps.

Let me show you the texture from the side of the tag:

And now to some close- ups of the project:

I enter this to Simon Says Stencil it challenge- the background was made with double stencil

Make your background with Prickley Pear

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my Make your own background project made for Prickley Pear Rubber stamps.

I made this canvas tag by myself with a piece of leftover canvas and then covered it with white gesso.

After the gesso was dry I added texture paste over an art stencil and the texture is well seen even after all those layers of mists I added over the canvas.

The Let your Faith Prickley Pear stamp was stamped over the piece of thick cardstock and painted over with the same mists, but the colors are pretty different over paper as you can see.

The stamped saying was heat embossed before I added all mists.
