Peaches and Cream

 

Peaches and Cream is the color theme at Cupcake Inspirations this month. Concord and 9th's Creamsicle ink was perfect with this peach cardstock for a tone on tone look in the background. It reminds me of the 90s, especially with this end table. 

Altenew's Mini Delight Timeless Glow comes with a stamp and die set. The dies are easy to layer. The lamp base can also be used as a vase with the flower spray die. 

                                                  

   A gold gel pen enhances the embossing on the table. 

              

     The lamp is easily customizable with the layering dies: entire lamp, base, shade, shade ribbing. Add some yellow ink for the glow of the light. 

Assembling the card with foam tape to pop up the background piece adds dimension. Gina K's Tiara Frame goes so well with this lamp and table. The sentiments in the stamp set are catchy and can be used for friends or anyone you want to cheer up. I chose "a little light to brighten your day" for a card I can send to Love For Our Elders this month.

A Valentine Bookmark

 

A Valentine Bookmark

I love to read and collect bookmarks, so this project was special to me. The Valentine Bookmark comes together easily and is fun to color with alcohol markers! I used the mama & baby bunny for the Place to Call Home Challenge this month: Anything Goes with optional small critters. 

Join in the challenge here

 A Place to Start

1. Cut the bookmark card stock pieces, red & white, with the Bookmark Builder die set by Taylored Expressions. 

2. Stamp the library, bunnies and books with black ink before coloring with alcohol markers. Use a light cool gray for shadows. I added the red glasses on Mama Bunny! So cute! 

3. Add some highlights with a white gel pen. 

4. Stencil some hearts with pink and red ink. Add some glitter pen on the hearts for some extra shine. 

5. Stamp the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment in red in. 

6. Adhere the white piece to the red and thread a soft white piece of yarn through the top to match the bunnies. 

This makes a useful Valentine for a friend or teacher. Happy Reading!
