“U R Special” 12 X 12 layout by Irene Tan
Stunning work of art using Elegant Touch art stencil (upper left corner)…love that effect! Beautiful colors and details on this page! The photo is of her precious and gorgeous dog, Hiro. What a beauty!
May your day be filled with layers of color,
Melisa Waldorf is one of our talented guest designers this summer. Each Wednesday in July she is sharing her newest Layers of Color creations. I know you’ll be inspired by these beautiful stamped projects.
Mmm, mmm good, look at all this delicious color, it’s like a creamsicle all wrapped up in a bow! (Hee Hee, my sweet tooth is showing!) I love this tasty card! Melisa has used Vintage Roses art stamp as the focal point and an additional touch of roses in the circle. I like how she put a splash of orange onto the urn as well. Such a fresh and lovely card!
Ooo, this baptism layout is so beautiful! Melisa has used Gothic Crosses and Royal Birds art stamps to express the spiritual joy of this very special moment. The soft colors are serene and delicate feminine details add the sweet personal touches. A beautiful experience shared with love through this lasting keepsake.
Please visit Melisa’s blog, “Art From my Heart” to meet this very special and talented artist.
May God bless your summer with many beautiful moments and tasty treats,
You’re invited to come revisit Melody’s galleries! She’s one of our honored and retired designers, however she just can’t stop using Layers of Color art stamps! Well we certainly understand the addiction! LOL!
I’ve added 11 brand new photos to her card gallery that I know you’ll find very inspirational! And while you’re there, stop by and see her wonderful layout in her scrapbooking gallery that was published in Canadian Scrapbooker magazine. Go say “Hi!” to Melody on her blog, and give her hugs for us!
Patter Cross has written an article for Scrapbook.com which includes Layers of Color art stamps and Designers, Patter, Linda and me.
Hope you find inspiration from it as I have!
6 X 6 Card
The color challenge is to use teal, red, black and white in your artwork. Here’s my card and a tutorial :
The flowers are Layers of Color Polka Dot Love art stamps and the background is stamped with Creative Flourish and Nature Walk.
|
All the flowers and leaves were stamped on white cardstock with black ink, cut out and applied to the background with glue. Some of them were bent so that they stand out creating the 3-D effect. I love the dimension this creates!
|
The supplies for this card are: white cardstock, black ink, Teal Blue StazOn, Scarlet VersaColor, Clear Embossing Powder, Tsukineko Dabber, and Layers of Color Polka Dot Love , Creative Flourish and Nature Walk art stamps.
|
The background has two simple layers…First, on white cardstock stamp Creative Flourish and Nature Walk flourish repeatedly with red ink. Before it dries, sprinkle with clear embossing powder. Emboss with an embossing heat gun.
|
For the second layer…Using the dabber and StazOn teal ink, rub over the entire paper leaving some areas heavier, some lighter.
|
Gently wipe some of the teal ink off of the red areas with a baby wipe and, Voila! Imagine all the wonderful various creations you can make with this handmade designer paper!
|
Thank U for visiting today! For more inspirational artwork, please visit our art galleries!
God’s blessings to you,

My eldest daughter, Jessica created this page of her groom and groomsmen from their wedding in December 2006.
|
This dynamic design was made with Layers of Color Beaded Frames art stamp set.
|
Attached to the page is the actual boutonniere worn by the groom. I made it with a velvet leaf, ribbon, trim, feathers and faux berries that looked like they are sugar coated. Jessica also adorned this page with Layers of Color Garden Borders, Architectural Blocks art stamp sets and golden netting.
|
Just above her husband’s name, Jessica added some masculine touches of metal and corrugated cardboard. The crown and flourish are Layers of Color Regal Wings and Under the Sea art stamp sets.
