Tupelo Designs | Crafty Friends

Thanks for stopping by!  I have some happy news to share today!  I'm joining the Design Team at Tupelo Designs!  I know what you're thinking.. I'm already on lots of design teams... right?   I think you know by now that I'm totally ADDICTED to paper crafts - cardmaking is my OBSESSION!  I LOVE every team I work with.  I couldn't use the brands I work with or recommend them to you if I didn't.  The thing is that I LOVE so many things I see.  I honestly couldn't afford to purchase all the products I LOVE.  Design Teams afford me the ability to work with products I love and help defer the cost of my crafty budget.  So many wonderful things so little time. Sigh...

That's what makes this team even better.  Tupelo Designs is a store that carries so many of the brands that I love.   Like Avery Elle, WPlus9, Concord & 9th, Waffle Flower and so many more!!  I found Tupelo Designs when I went looking for those Clarity Brushes that are all the rage.  My "regular" store was out of stock - but Tupelo had them - and they had free shipping too!  So I thought I would give them a try.  My package arrived in beautiful condition - like a gift just for me.  They even had a little freebee inside - a package of wood buttons (do these folks know me or what?)  So when I saw the design team call I thought I'd give it a go. 

I made this card with Concord & 9th "You're My Person" set.  I stamped the image in brown ink to give it a softer look, and then colored it with copic markers.  This stamp has lots of open space so I added a very light shade of each color around the outside of each image.  So for example.. the yellow flowers have a very light yellow outline around the outside, the green leaves have a green outline etc.

I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Ink, - it's crisp and clean and great for detailed images.  I trimmed them by hand and adhered them over the floral bouquet.   I love this sentiment - perfect for all my crafty friends.  

The stamp set has some solid images so you can stamp them on the outline design instead of coloring it if you like.  I used these images to create a watermark look by stamping them in a soft pink randomly around the page.  The finishing touch was adding a  few gems to the flower centers to add some sparkle and shine!

If you haven't discovered Tupelo Designs yet I hope you'll give them a try - they ship most orders within 24 hours and shipping on orders $50 and up is always free.
