Be true

Hello. I'm playing in the tic-tac-toe challenge over at The Paper Players today.

The flower stamp is from Unity stamp company.  I stamped it in Versafine ink and heat embossed it so that I could watercolor the flowers. Then cut it out using a deckled die and highlighted it with distress walnut stain ink. 

The side "be true" sentiment is from Tim Holtz ideaology rub on pack. I actually used a label cut from die tucked behind the main panel to create the tab.  The No. 4899 is from Field Notes. 

The left-hand side is made up of folded khaki packing paper that I recycled. Added a bit of lace and glued it behind the main panel.  

Thanks for stopping by. 

Happy Birthday

Hello and Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge, where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.

Sailboat die is from Paper Smooches. The sea is a recycled tissue box and I used the cloud  stencil from a colorful life to create the sky using tumbled glass distress oxide ink. Birthday sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. 

Please check out the Design Team’s creations for this challenge, once again, they have knocked it out of the park.

POTW - Happy new baby!

Hello. It's my turn to come up with a project of the week and this time I've chosen to do a bit of recycling.

I got this little paw print bag at my vet when I refilled my oldest Malamute Noah's meds recently. I saved it of course because, well, it's cute! 

Here is what I did with it.  Sending this off to a co-worker who just got a new puppy! Don't mind the play on the sentiment, they are all our babies whether they're human or animal. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Pick of the week - Recycling

Hello. It's my turn over at The House That Stamps Built to create a project for our Monday challenge called Pick of the Week. I'm creating a card out of recycled materials today.

I received this gift bag with goodies in it at our company meeting last week. I liked how fancy the gold swirls were on it and kept it to use again.

So I cut it apart and even used the handle to make this card.

I had to add a bit of gold to enhance everything. Snowflakes and sentiment are heat embossed using gold embossing powder.  I added the gold cording onto the raffia bow so that it would stand out just a tad bit more. Gold mirror cardstock used as the base of the card and to layer the sentiment panel.

Stamps used are:
1141-F, Christmas
8805-K, Snowflakes

Have a great day!
