fresh & fun

… a box made out of one  8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet, just by scoring the cardstock. Here is the sample I made for the tutorial.  I can’t get a better picture of the stamped image. I stamped the white images with the Acrylic Paint Dabber. It looks sooo reptty in real life.

The center image and the accent are stamped with VersaMagic Dewdrops in Black and SeaBreeze. Let’s just say I am in love with my new Fancy Pants stamps and the great ink/paint I got.

I had several people ask me about the Versamagic Dew Drops I bought from Eclectic Paperie. These dew drops are versatile fast drying Chalk inks that have a soft matte look. They are archival safe and acid free. That’s what the package said.

I stamped all 36 colors on Confetti white and try to match up the colors with our Stampin’ Up! craft inks. Twice I couldn’t match it at all. I guess our retired colors mauve mist and mint melody would have matched with those colors. Twice I used classic ink.

The VersaMagic Dew Drops aren’t super fast drying as the package says. You will still have to hit it with a heat gun or set aside for a minute or two (proof: check the dark blue ink….smeared with me writing next to it ….being a lefty and all).

I love the way they stamp though. No bubbling and perfect coverage. They are wonderful to use on acrylic and rubber stamps. I am glad I have them.

When I had that paper and the Finest Flourishes and Edgy Eloquence out, I made another card. I sponged the prima flowers with Pumpkin Pie, Taken with Teal and Chocolate chip to make them match the colors I used. The ribbon is from May Arts.

Thank you everyone! You sure know how to make a girl feel special.
