Artful*Inkers Design Team, Botanical Gazette Suite

Morning everyone! Can I tell you how much I adore this card? It was a bit more labour intensive than my usual, and sure would weigh a ton for mailing, but I really do love it!

Well, welcome back to the Artful*Inkers Design Team, reveal...for the month of March I will be posting any other projects I made with the Botanical Gazette Suite that didn't fit into the previous 4 categories. (Jan. 4th was Birthday Cards, Jan. 15th was Valentine's Day, Feb. 1st was all things "book like", Feb. 15th was 3D items, and now we're in the March, "everything else" category!) Be sure to check out my team mates blogs, for their creations with the other Suites from the current Occasions Mini!

Artful*Inkers Design Team, 3D Items!

Hi there friends! Ok, so I know stamping on glass with Staz On isn't a new idea...however I didn't think I'd be able to do it reliably and clearly with such detailed images as in the Clearly for You Stamp Set, and the Nature Walk Stamp Set. So...I made a template from scrap paper, traced it on clear Mat Tack, and cut it out. Then I stamped on the Mat Tack with Staz On, and though the images remained shiny and I was suuuuure they'd never dry ;o) I bravely touched a butterfly and what do you know? The images were instantly dry! Peel off the Mat Tack backing and adhere to the candle holder, and VOILA! A very fast, very easy, very pretty candle to keep or gift! Hope you all enjoy!

This project was created for the Artful*Inkers Deisign Team, in which 5 of us showcase projects made with a different Suite from the current Occasions Mini Catalogue. I am thrilled to show you the Botanical Gazette Suite, and be sure to check out my team mates blogs to see their 3D items created with different Suites!
