If
you can say wall and y'all, you can say toile. This signature French
fabric design has been recreated and updated with stamps from the Stampington
& Company line. What makes it toile? A monochromatic color scheme,
plus repeating patterns and motifs from outdoor and nature scenes.
|
|
After
exploring existing stamps with a floral motif, designer Christine Adolph
envisioned a sophisticated new approach to a line of flower stamps incorporating
linear floral patterns on textured and layered backgrounds, silhouettes,
stencil effects and the reinterpretation of archival designs. And nothing
ditsy, delicate or precious! This designer's favorite scale is big and
bigger, bold and beautiful.

Just
how many looks can one stamp have? We challenged our AOC's to a great
mind expanding exercise. Create five cards using the same main stamp
image, layering techniques, shapes and size, but achieving unique looks
for each card by varying the papers, colors and inks. Wow! What a difference
a card stock makes! By simply altering some colors, but staying true
to the original design, our artists have produced a series of beauties
sure to impress you. This is a project you can challenge yourself with
again and again.

Feeling
green around the gills is never any fun. But if Lisa Vlach or Cheryl
Hussmann is playing Florence Nightingale to your fever, things could
be looking up. These two Artists On-Call were challenged to create first
aid kits using the Karen Foster rubber stamp images designed specifically
for get-well wishes. Each lady chose her theme, color combinations and
props, and then worked her magic with the Stampington & Company
images. Whether it's sweet treats or a bowl of chicken soup that is
needed, these little kits will have your patients back on their feet
in no time.
