Introducing DoodleFactory Boudoir

As a follow up to the fabulous DoodleFactory Classic Décor set, Starving Artistamps is pleased to present the DoodleFactory Boudoir stamp set and sentiments. The images in this set can be combined with those in the Classic Décor set for beautiful room settings and paired with some of the Starving Artistamps sentiments for fun Valentine's Day cards.

My first card features the set’s fireplace image. I colored the fireplace with Copic markers and cut it out. It’s set on an elegant “wallpaper” background made from some Cosmo Cricket Everafter designer paper.

To make the scene more homey, I added some blazing logs to the fireplace, complete with sparkly flames courtesy of a Spica pen, and some classic books set along the top of the mantel.

I added one of the Outdoor sentiments to the top of the card. A button with some taffeta ribbon knotted through it is a simple accent for the sentiment.

Materials Used:
DoodleFactory Boudoir stamp set, Outdoor Sentiments (Starving Artistamps); white cardstock (Gina K Designs); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); markers, orange Spica pen (Copic); Soft Sky and Basic Gray cardstock, Basic Gray taffeta ribbon (Stampin’ Up!); designer paper (Cosmo Cricket-Everafter line); Smokey Shadow ink, button (Papertrey Ink)

This card features a combination of paper piecing and coloring. The set’s bench image was stamped on white cardstock. I colored the base with Copic markers, then paper pieced the cushion using some Basic Grey Archaic paper. I colored the bolster with Copic markers before attaching it to the bench.

The setting for the bench is made by combining more of the Archaic papers. I used a striped pattern as a wall covering and one of the distressed solids as a rug. I added a decorative edged scalloped strip at the top of the card and stitched some pleated satin ribbon along the top edge for decoration. The “you might want to sit down for this” sentiment runs along the bottom of the image panel with a single silver brad as an accent.

Materials Used:
DoodleFactory Boudoir stamp set, Classic Décor Sentiments (Starving Artistamps); white cardstock (Taylored Expressions); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); markers (Copic); Soft Sky, Close to Cocoa, and Very Vanilla cardstock (Stampin’ Up!); designer paper (Basic Grey-Archaic); Diamond Lace border punch (EK Success); brown satin ribbon (Michaels); silver brad (Making Memories); foam tape; sewing machine


And, here's one last card. This one features one of the new Boudoir Sentiments. I stamped the vanity and stool on white cardstock, leaving the image mostly white with a few pink accents for a girly look. I carefully trimmed the images out so they could be set against an equally feminine background, created with designer paper and a herringbone textured rug, partially hidden underneath a red throw rug.

I stamped the vanity's mirror on silver paper and cut it out. Then, I stamped Zega from the Final Frontier stamp set on a piece of white paper and colored her in. I attached Dot to the mirror, cutting out the excess of the image so all that remained wat the part of the image inside the mirror. I layered the mirror inside the vanity to have it appear that Zega was catching a glance of herself as she was walking by it. The "who's the fairest of them all?" sentiment is attached to the top of the card to finish it off.
