Sneak Peek #5 - Background Soup

When I saw this stamp set: Background Soup - I couldn't wait to play with it. All those circle just drew me in! The entire set consists of seven pieces. I used three on this project: upper right - open circles (colored them in with stardust glitter pen), bottom - closed circles, left side - old fashioned looking print.

After creating 4 cards this week, I wanted to play with something else. . They are so much fun to cover. This project is filled with a bunch of my favorite things...

6.5"x6.5" Chipboard Clipboard - they are so much fun to cover
Uptown Girl 8x8 paper pack - love, love, love it
Black cardstock - how can you go wrong with anything that coordinates with black
Claret & Noir Palette inks - Claret is my most favorite ink to use on Uptown Girl papers
Bitty Blossom Flower Mixes - they go with so many projects
Eyelets from TAC's hardware packs - they're so much fun to mix & match
Stardust Glittering Pen - it's one of my best friends
Ribbon - I combined the pink from the Mimi pack with the Black & White pack

Here's how the clipboard started out...

Perfect for an Uptown Girl

I've completed my 2nd Sonia Purse...and I can't decide which one I love more. I guess I'll keep going, and decide which one is MINE later.

For this one, I inked the edges with black before applying any paper. Then traced the outlines of the purse on the papers and cut with a papercutter (slightly on the INSIDE of the lines). Since I had the exact papers ready, I stamped and decorated them BEFORE affixing to the purse. Then used the glue stick to adhere. Added a floral touch and some ribbon...DONE!
