PSC79 Spring + Thank You

  This week I am sharing a card I love from a past post..

 

I can't wait to show you my card this week. Thanks to my good friend Susan

I tried a new stamping technique and it turned out awesome....

Check it out !!

She showed me how to use three different ink colors on a stamp and

this awesome stamp comes to life. I started by choosing the colors of ink

I wanted to use. Start with the darker colors and then your

inks won't bleed. Move your stamp around coloring

each part with a different color. Then you lightly mist the stamp with ink

and stamp. The color will blend but not bleed.

Now this wasn't my first attempt it takes some practice to get the look you want.

The stamp I used was a Tim Holz and it was just one flower I just stamp my

card multiple times.

Then I blended some ink around the edges to give that cloudy effect.

Popped a sentiment and POW !!

Love it !!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and drop by and join our challenge and
see what Susan has to share today. 

 

PSC97: Poinsettia Christmas

  I know we haven't even gotten post Halloween but over at The Perfect Sentiment we are getting you in the Christmas Spirit. This weeks challenge is to create a card using a Poinsettia. We also have a new sponsor this week that will be giving away three free digital sets to the random winner. To be eligible for the drawing you have to like our sponsors Face book page.   That sponsor is Daydream Designs by Diane Noble  

 

Now let me show you my card for this week.

Our wonderful sponsor supplied our Design Team with designs that fit our theme this week.

 

 

 

After I printed my digital Poinsettia I decided to fussy cut it out to put on my card.

I colored it with my Copic markers and then cut several of the petal and leaves so that

I could pop them up and give it some dimension.

To add some spark I got out my stickles. After that dried I stamped my sentiment

on a tag and tied a ribbon. Oh yea popped it too !! Love me some pop dots.

Topped it all off with some sequins in the middle of the flower.

PSC93: Holiday Snowflakes

  Well it ain't Winter or Christmas yet but the weather is changing and I can't say I will miss the Summer. Alabama really gets a PUNCH with the heat and humidity. So good riddance... see ya later. Over at The Perfect Sentiment we are starting thinking about the cold weather.   This Week... CREATE A CARD FOR THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY SEASON AND INCORPORATE SNOWFLAKES ON IT IN SOME WAY. IT CAN BE IN THE IMAGE YOU USE, DIE-CUTS, EMBOSSING FOLDERS, ETC. DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE YOUR SENTIMENT ON THE FRONT   No sponsor this week but we will still pick "Perfect 3" So head on over and join the fun.     But, before you leave let me show you my card.

I started with stamping and embossing a background stamp. Then I punched these snowflakes and oh yea embossed them. I mixed glitter with my embossing power to give it a lot of sparkle. This is the stamp I used and the snowflake punch.

  I am sure there are those product people that can look at this stamp and tell you who made it but I can't ... sorry !! LOL Thanks for stopping by....  

PSC92: " Find Me Some Fall" challenge at The Perfect Sentiment

  Hi Everyone, today is Wednesday and that means another great challenge over at The Perfect Sentiment.   I live in South Alabama and that means that we do not get to see trees turning beautiful colors that you guys get to see in the North. So, with that being said we want you to create a card with any sentiment but show us your Fall colors or your Fall images. Don't forget to put the sentiment on the front of your card.   This week our sponsor is PATTIE'S CREATION  

  The random winner will receive 3 free digital images.   This week I am so pumped about my card. I was scrapping this weekend at our LSS convention and decided to make my card. I had an idea but I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. I thought I was going to have to stamp and cut out all these leaves but the wonderful lady that was sitting beside me had two punches that worked perfect. She got them at Micheal's. I started inking my card with Tim Holtz - Brown Saddle. Then I stamped the image of the three little frogs. They were holding balloons but it was easy to cover them with my leaves. I colored them with my Copic markers and then I started punching and adding the leaves.   So without further delay... Here is the card.

  I so love how it turned out !! So glad you stopped by and I hope I have inspired you to make a card and join us over at the Challenge Blog. Don't forget to check out all the other Design Team members blogs. I have listed all of them in my sidebar.

PSC90: Ribbon, Seam Binding or Baker's twine

Well Hello Everyone !! I bet by now everyone is back into the routine of getting up and getting the kiddos off to school. I know this might sound crazy but I miss not having that structure in my life. My kids are grown but boy when they were at home and in school I was the best organizer...LOL Now all I have to organize is my scrapbooking supplies...hehehe Anyway enough of that. Let's talk about our challenge over at The Perfect Sentiment.   This week- CREATE A CARD FOR THE OCCASION OF YOUR CHOICE AND USE RIBBON, TWINE, OR SEAM BINDING OR ALL 3. INCLUDE YOUR SENTIMENT ON THE FRONT.   Our sponsor is ROBYN'S FETISH

 

The winner will receive 5 free digis !!

 

Now to show you my creation for this week.

 

I decided to use some seam binding that I had recently gotten from my husband's great grandmother's house. She had passed away years ago and I got a call from her daughter asking me if I would be interested in any sewing stuff. Well, I never learned to sew very well but I knew she would have some ribbon, zipper and seam binding. This purple is one of many colors I got. Every time I use it I think of her and I'm so glad because I'm very sentimental. The image was stamped with Versamack ink and embossed with black embossing powder. I wanted to color the flowers so I stuck my thumb into some ink and pressed it to the card. The background ratan ribbon is actually something I kept from a tie on a fruit basket we got at work. The cute sentiment was from my stash. I'm so glad you stopped by and I hope you take time to create and join our challenge this week.
