Welcome! This morning I am excited to be sharing a couple of cards made with my sweet friend Betsy Veldman's The Greetery stamps, dies, and stencils. I've admired both Betsy's work and her character for years, and I wish her the greatest success in her new venture! Betsy sent me two stamp sets, along with coordinating dies and stencils--Hand in Hand, and Fir & Foliage.
Shown above is a list of the Copic markers that I used to color the Hand and Heart images and to airbrush the path, grass, and sky. I used a scrap of terrycloth spritzed with Copic Colorless Blender solution to get texture on the airbrushed stone pathway. Also, I fussy-cut around the lady's hand and lower left forearm so that she was holding hands more obviously with her husband.
For my second card, I thought I would make a masculine card that I could use as a Father's Day card. The stamped images are from Fir & Foliage, but the sentiments are from Hand in Hand. It was very simple to align the tree parts--I used my MISTI. :-)
The Greetery's storefront will go live on Friday, April 26, at 10am Eastern time. At this time, you will be able to find ALL of the products that Betsy introduces this week. Be sure to check her Greetery blog every day to see who is sharing her new sets for that day--I've watched the sneak peeks, and I know that they'll be awesome!
For today, I hope you get a chance to visit The Greetery's Blog, Day 1 to see what Betsy has cooked up for your visual pleasure, as well as checking out the following blogs who also have some eye candy with today's sets:
