Winnie and Walter - Leading Lady Post 3 - and Giveaway!

Good Saturday morning! I'm excited to be back on the Winnie and Walter Blog again this morning to share some more fun projects with my Winnie and Walter stamps!

Today I broke out the amazing chevrons from Scenery: V for cheVron stamp set and made 4 completely different styles of cards! First up - I so love watercolors right now, so I had to used the chevrons for that technique!


 For this card I used the solid medium sized chevrons, stamped them on watercolor paper in two different colors of My Favorite Things dye ink side by side a total of 3 times, then softened the lines with a waterbrush. I took some deep gray ink and pressed it onto my nonstick mat, added some water, and then used a clean brush to flick some black splatters across the card. Added a couple different sentiments from Bubble Talk on the bottom, then placed on a kraft card base.


For the next one, I wanted to go with a fun and random pattern, and make it masculine. I was trying to make sure everything did NOT line up perfectly, but I think a few things I got too close to straight, so it looks like I meant to make them straight and just failed! Oops! 


Anyway, used an assortment of My Favorite Things inks for this one as well, and added the speech bubbles and "DUDE" from Bubble Talk, the rest of the sentiment from The Big, the Bold, and the You, and the stars from Scenery: It's a Wonderful Pennant.  


Next up, I just had to use those lovely large chevrons too! 


First up I used the solid large chevron and MANY colors of My Favorite Things ink, and overlapped the chevrons randomly - some of them just a little, and some of them a lot. LOVE the way the inks blend together to make new colors! Then I stamped the outline, also randomly over the top - sometimes just inked one side of it, sometimes both of them. Added a sentiment from The Big, the Bold, and the You, a row of random machine stitching, and a few black enamel arrows.


And finally, another one with the large solid chevron - this time a completely one layer card, but with lots of the appearance of dimension all the same! 


I also used My Favorite Things ink for this one, and left a slight gap between chevrons so you can see the white card base underneath. Added a sentiment combined from The Big, the Bold, and the Fun and Bubble Talk as well as a few of the stars from Scenery: It's a Wonderful Pennant
