Wishing you

Hi everyone! I had an opportunity to take a few minutes today and play around with this weeks sketch over at SCS. Here's what I came up with.

Stamps are from the Papertrey, Ink set called Wishing you. I stamped the tulips in Studio G white ink and then heat embossed it. It's tucked under that green striped designer paper from HOTP. I found some green card stock in my stash that matched the darker green in the dp and cut out the rectangle using the lattice spellbinders nesties.

Edge punch is from EK success and lastly I added a strip of spring green grosgrain ribbon!

I like the clean lines of this! What do you think?

Cowboy hats

Hi everyone! Whew! Where did January go? It sure flew by for me! Here's a card I just completed that I thought turned out really cute!


Cowboy stamp is from Victorine Originals and colored with Copic markers. The sentiment is from The Angel Company.

I used the rectangle and long rectangle nesties dies to cut out both the sentiment and the cute little guy. Layered with dark green cardstock from Bazzill.

The swirl of studs is from Prima Marketing. I just cut off a section (it's a self adhesive strip) and laid it down on the card.

The green bandana was actually an ivory colored paisley designer paper and I used Peeled paint distress ink to make it a green to go with my color combo.

What do you think?

Dark pink flower

Hey everyone! I just received three of the newly released Copic colors and put two of them to use in this card. This was last weeks SCS sketch by the way.

G43 Pistachio and R56 Currant used to draw directly onto the stamp (A*Muse Studio) and then I spritzed it with rubbing alcohol to get the water colored effect as it is stamped onto water color paper. I used the same R56 to color the the satin ribbon.

Designer paper is from Kaisercraft. The green self adhesive pearls are from Queen and Co. The dies are from Papertrey, Ink as is the ivory cardstock that I used for the base of this card.

Thanks for stopping in!

True love forever

Hi everyone! I'm back from having no power and from my business trip to Las Vegas. I can't wait to get into the studio to play around a bit! Here is a Valentines day card that I did a few weeks ago!

This is a card I made out of a lot of die cuts using designer papers and some stamping. Dies are from Sizzix, Quickutz, and Verve. I used designer paper pieces from my stash of leftovers. The scorepal was used to score lines for the stamped sentiment (Papertrey, Ink).

Red twine was tied into a bow on one of the hearts and a white sharpie paint pen was used to add the white dots on the far right heart.

I like how clean this one turned out! What do you think?

Power outage!

Hi everyone! I have been without power due to our lovely winter weather and I'm without means to post anything new. The latest news is that it won't be back on until Wednesday (which makes it about a week).

I'm lucky that I get to head out to Las Vegas for business Monday through Thursday, so I'll be warm and having a bit of fun! Unfortunatley, all my pictures of my latest cards are in the home computer. Once I get home and the power/internet have been restored, I'll post again.

Thanks!

Flying by...

Hello - snow update....total of 11 inches where I live! YUK! However, it's a snow day and I had time to play with this weeks SCS sketch.

Butterfly stamp is from The Angel Company (I think it was called wings and shadows) and the sentiment is from Victorine Originals.

Ivory cardstock from PTI used as a base, the I ran a smaller piece through the Swiss dots embossing folder so that it would match the Swiss dots dp from Bazzill.

I used distress inks in scattered straw, wild honey and spiced marmalade to make the paper that the butterflies and sentiment are stamped on. Punch is from Martha Stewart.

If you're on facebook, check out my snow 2012 album of pictures to see all fun we had with Noah today in the snow! Thanks for stopping in.

Heard you caught a bug

Hello! Another snow day here in Washington state. Thank goodness I didn't have to go out in it! I started playing around with the Mojo Monday sketch late last night and just now finished taking pictures. Darn battery in the camera went dead! Looks like I need to purchase a back up!



All stamps are from Victorine Originals. Frog is colored with Copic's in G21, 24 and 28. I added a bit of glossy accents to his eyes so that they would bug out (no pun intended) and stickles to the wings of the fly so that they would stand out.

Designer paper is from Basic Grey, Wisteria paper pack. Black and spring green grosgrain ribbon are from RABOM.

We are suppose to get hit with another storm sometime in the wee hours tomorrow! It's predicted that it will drop about of foot of snow! I learned a valuable lesson with this - about a week prior when we had the heavy monsoon type rain all week, I was complaining pretty hard. We rarely get torential down pours, it's just a misty rain. I think Mother Nature is paying us back for my complaining! I'd take rain over this snow any day!

Thanks for stopping in!
