#CC3C - Stamps & Framelits

Today's post is for the Compendium of Curiosities 3 Challenge. Check out the lovely Linda Ledbetter's blog for all the details. The sponsor for Challenge #9 is Inspiration Emporium. One lucky entry will receive a $50 gift certificate for their store.

I began by checking out Tim's technique on page 63 of his book. I only have one of his cling rubber stamp sets with matching Framelits dies. Following Tim's technique I completed the tree and added some ornaments that I applied Remnant Rubs to. At this point I decided to create a window card. This is a series of cards that I've created using a Cabinet Card Frame as the base, corrugated cardstock and a die cut window. So here is my first Christmas card of the year. Thanks for stopping by!

The faded layers technique is on page 58 of Tim's book, A Compendium of Curiosities Volume 3. This is a new technique for me. I started by experimenting with a variety of colors on numerous pieces of cardstock. Once I decided what I was going to create I used Tim's technique on the background. I also used some of the other pieces of colored cardstock for the sea horse, seashell and greenery. Thanks for stopping by!

It's time for another Compendium of Curiosities 3 challenge! Check out the lovely Linda Ledbetter's blog for all the details and to see what the Curiosity Crew created. Inspiration Emporium is sponsoring Challenge #7 with a $50 gift certificate!

The painted industrial technique is on page 46 of Tim's book. For this technique and the focal point of my project I used one of my newest dies, the Layered Dragonfly. Next I decided to die cut and emboss a second dragonfly from modeling film. I colored this one with a variety of archival ink and heated it. To finish the look I adhered it to the top of my foil dragonfly and I gotta say I love the effect. Thanks for stopping by!

I started by turning to page 39 of Tim's book, A Compendium of Curiosities Volume 3. Next I pulled out some Mini Blueprint stamps and used Tim's technique to color several images. For the card below I used the largest of the Sized Rectangles Dies to create the card base from Kraft Cardstock. I used the largest and smallest die to create the frame from recycled cardboard. Pulled it all together and there your have it, my finished card is 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 inches. Thanks for stopping by!
