~Dad's Day~

Hello Everyone,

Just trying to use up some DSP before the new catalog comes out!!!

This DSP is SU's "To The Nines"

I had some chipboard letters that matched the paper so I thought I would use them.

I made some score lines on the top portion of the card but hard to see in photo.

The large star looked a little plain so I added a button with some Linen Thread.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend and thanks for taking the time

to stop by my blog!

Lovely as a Tree "Father's Day Card"

The "Lovely as a Tree" stamp set is so versatile and this giant oak reminds me of a strong man.

Masculine cards are always a challenge but I really like this rustic look.  The Log Cabin Smooch helped to achieve this look with just a hint of shimmer!  I used the "Thumping Technique" on the top of the tree.  Stamped entire tree in Certainly Celery and removed the ink from the trunk with a Blender Pen.  Used Soft Suede for the trunk, then with my markers I thumped the top of the tree with Summer Sun, Old Olive and Soft Suede.

"Thank You"

Hello Everyone,

What a beautiful Saturday!  Hard to believe it was 60 degrees in Central Illinois yesterday. 

This was an easy card to make, the stamp is from Hero Arts Clings.  I have been wanting to try Copic Markers so I thought I would use them on this card.  Takes a bit of getting use to but I like my results.  I need to learn how to blend better.  The best part is when I cut out the stamped image and it fit perfectly onto the Top Note Die.  I also embossed it with the dots and sponged around the edges.  Added some Stickles and Rhinestones for a little bling.

Stamp:  Thank You - Hero Arts Cling

Paper:  Whisper White, Pale Plum, Barely Banana

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black (works best with Copic Markers), Assorted Copic Markers, Barely Banana Sponged on the Top Note

Accessories:  Top Note Die, Stickles, Rhinestones

Thanks for stopping by :-)

"Mother's Day"

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to use some colors that I do not normally use.  Sometimes I just get stuck on the same ones!

This is the card I made for my Mom, she loved it :-)  Base of the card is Barely Banana with Baroque Motifs stamped in Barely Banana.  I used Whisper White and Vellum and ran it through the Big Shot.  Did the masking technique on the flowers.  I used Basic Gray instead of Black, I did not like the harshness of the black when I tried it. 

Stamps:  Well Scripted, Greenhouse Garden, Baroque Motifs

Paper:  Whisper White, Barely Banana, Vellum

Ink:  Barely Banana, Yo Yo Yellow, Pixie Pink, Rose Red, Basic Gray

Accessories:  Silver Brads, Top Note Die, Scallop Circle Punch, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by, hope everyone is having a great weekend :-)
