Yellow Rose

Hello again!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at MFT Sketch and Simon Says Monday, Spritz And Spray.

 

 

I used the MFT stamp and die sets, Sweet Roses and their Traditional Stitched Tag dies.  I also used a Paper Smooches Foliage 1 die set.  I added texture using Tim Holtz, Brick Wall and a CuttleBug Honeycomb Embossing Folders. 

 

Images colored with Copic Markers.  Baker's Twine for accent.  Using my ever so handy Mini Mister I mixed up some Pearl Ex and water and then tinted some in Yellow and some in Brown.  Love the way it aged my 'bricks'.  I wanted to use small sequins in Green and Yellow but I didn't have any.....Oh The Horror!.....BUT I took my Crop-A-Dile and using the hole punch a created them out of very large ones. 

 

Thanks for walking down my brick pathway.....appreciate it when you do....and when the sun has melted all the ice off.....cripes....it's dangerous out there!

 

Enjoy~~

 



Water Color.....

.....(will be the death of me)

Howdy!

This card will be entered into the Challenge at Power Poppy, Switch Up Your Shades, to use a different color medium than you typically use and at Simon Says Monday, Spritz And Spray.

Everyone always makes water coloring look so easy, so artsy, so well done....mine, without fail, always turns into a muddled mess......oy vay!

I used the Flourishes stamp set, Roses Are Red.  Love the way the background was colored and created.  The rose images are not great.  BUT I will persever and head on over to Youtube and figure this out!  (I hope!)

 

 



 

Just a few spritzes of Black ink, Pearl Ex and water for accent......that is all.

 

Please feel free to leave any and all suggestions! (and be kind)  ;)

 

Enjoy~~



You Make Me Happy!

Hello!

I made this card for the Challenge at Double D, Pretty Pink Hearts.

 

I started with a product I found at Michael's their Recollections Brand, a 5 x 7 inch paper pack  of beautiful die cut sheets in pretty shades of pinks and greens.  Think 'cover plate' dies.  The work is all done for you.  I can not find them online to show you what they are, but they are beautiful.  Cheery Lynn dies; Butterfly 6 and Fanciful Flourish.  Penny Black, Heart Strings die and Spellbinders Captivating Squares.  Made a card stock frame and added some texture using a Chevron Embossing Folder.

 

Sentiment is from the Painted Poppy stamp set by Altenew.  Vellum and Adhesive Rhinestones for accents.  Just a fun frilly card to create, especially after that bland fishy birthday one. lol

 

Thanks for hopping on by.

Fishy Birthday

Good afternoon.

Made a little masculine birthday card.  Nothing fancy.  I am making a nice set of easy to mail cards for one of my favorite Uncles.  He has sent me some crafting dollars because I always send him cards.....silly man!  I tell him NO MORE.....yet he insists.  So, I will make a bunch of cards for his own personal use.  That will teach him!

This will be entered into the Challenge at Simon Says Monday, Spritz And Spray.

 

 

I used the Stampin Up! set, By The Tide.  Images stamped in Wild Honey Distress Ink.  Card stock in the Brown family.  Sentiment stamped in Timber Brown Ink. 

 

Using a Mini Mister I made my own Spritz with Craft Paint and Pearl Ex and a bit of water.  I used it sparingly.

 

Nice and flat...and fishy!

 

Thanks for popping in!

Quilted Flowers

Hello!

Still celebrating along with Papertrey Ink.  This Challenge is to cut nine 1-1/2 " squares and use a different technique on each one.

I chose to use the same stamp in each square.

I went to one of my go to stamp sets from Papertrey Ink, Daydreamer.  Inks in Melon Mambo and Pool Party.

Ribbon for accent.


Here's my cheat sheet; Masking & Sponging, Glittered, Paint Splatters, Paper Piercing, Button Embellie, Die Cut, Rhinestone Embellie, Clear Embossing, Dry Embossing.

 

Great to see you, you're like a warm cozy quilt on a snowy afternoon!

Celebrate The Everyday

Good Morning!  Another foot of snow....oh joy!  BUT, it does make perfect crafting weather!  There's always and upswing!

I made this fantastic little tag for the Challenge over at Papertrey Ink, Create Along With Us!  As you probably know they have been celebrating 9 years and have many Challenges to play along in, this happens to be #4.....I have managed to play along with them all so far.  So, I guess it could keep snowing! 

I was inspired by Danielle's little tag.

 

LOVE the sentiment on Danielle's Tag!

 

 

I used the Papertrey Ink stamp sets, City Scene (and dies) and Pretty Petals.  I first used the 'road' stamp and made a plaid background on the base of my tag, using ink in Dove Grey and Tuxedo Black.  That little road comes in quite handy, I have used it for other types of stamping too, not just roads. lol  Then I cut the buildings and trees using the dies and stamped them all up.  It was kind of fun creating my 'little neighborhood', especially without snow!

 

 

Let's celebrate the everyday!

 

Thanks for coming by.....careful on the walkway!
