WOYWW 220



Welcome to What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday #220! If you would like to find out what it is all about and join in on the fun, head over the Julia Dunnit's Stamping Ground and find out all the details!

 You have caught me this week working on some new color recipes for some of my layered fruit images. You can see to the right near the pencil, the four layers of the pear on acrylic blocks. I personally stamp the images in reverse order (4-3-2-1) which makes lining them up a breeze.

 I keep these recipe cards so that I can repeat a look without having to do a lot of experimenting with colors to get the look I want on any given project.

 Here is one of the cards I taught at my class last week which uses the KSS Multi Step Pear.


And here is more layered fruit!


 Thank you so much for dropping by to visit me and check out my desk this Wednesday!!
I look forward to seeing what you have been up to!!!

    Wow! Those layered fruit stamps sure do come out looking fabulous. I doubt I'd have the patience for them but you sure do them justice. I like that you are forward thinking enough to make recipe cards for them. That will make using them in the future a snap.
