New challenge at The Stamp Man

Wow it is hard to believe a fortnight has gone by already since the last challenge at The Stamp Man. There were so many lovely monochromatic projects to look at I am sure it will be hard to choose a winner. Janet has chosen this Fortnights challenge and the theme is "Pears" or "pairs" so there are many ways that could be taken and explored upon. I chose to use "Pears". I started by stamping the edges with The corner stamp from Tim Holtz Urban Tapestry stamp set then Embossing with Obsidian Copper Moon Glow EP. The Branch is made using the tree from Tim Holtz Winter Sketchbook stamp set. I stamped it separately and then colored it in with promarkers and cut out a portion and glued in place on the card. The Pears are cut from napkins in my US Artquest Napkin Collage kit. They are then decoupaged into place. the dimensional leaf was placed on card then cut and adhered to create dimension. For my full materials list and links please see below.

Now Over at The Stamp Man we are also welcoming our newest member to the team...Siobhan at Recovering Stampaholic.

Now stepping a little sideways.. Did you happen to notice the lovely flower arrangement behind my card in the photo? If not here it is in full. this was made by my daughter in her first gardening class at her new school. When she signed up for gardening she though dirt, digging, planting and such but it turns out that they are doing flower arranging and didn't she do a lovely job! I am thrilled to have such a beautiful piece to look at each day and for now special occasion to boot. Love it.

As promised here is my materials list for my card:

US Artquest Napkin Collage kit

Tim Holtz Urban tapestry stamp set(Corner stamp)

Tim Holtz Winter Sketchbook stamp set(tree)

Midnight Copper Obsidian Moonglow EP

Tim Holtz Walnut Distress ink

Now I shall leave you to go visit The Stamp Man Challenge and see all the other Lovely works of art from our fab team and please be sure to give Siobhan a warm welcome.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by. Angela
