Vintage Sympathy

I have seen many beautiful vintage looking cards and wanted to give it a try myself.  I needed a Sympathy card, not my favorite to make, but the recipient will know it's made from the heart!

The Very Vanilla panel was first stamped with the flourish from Everything Eleanor stamp set.  I used Sahara Sand stamped off once.  Then I added the watermarks from French Foliage stamp set along with the script both in Sahara Sand stamped off once.  Next I sponged around the edges and some what onto the card with Crumb Cake.  Used the distressing tool to rough up the edges and then sponged the rough edges with Crumb Cake.  The Wisteria Wonder panel was also distressed and sponged with Elegant Eggplant.  I stamped the stems with Lucky Limeade and then added a touch of Gumball Green with the marker to give it some dimension with a little highlighting from a white gel pen.

Up, Up and Away!

I needed one more Easter card for my Niece and thought she would like this Bunny in a balloon.   

Once again, I decided to water color my image using my SU Classic Ink Pads.  The sky was done by cutting a wavy piece of card stock and then sponging with a sponge dauber with Bashful Blue.  I then moved the card stock into different positions to sponge to achieve the look of clouds.  Hope everyone has a great week!

Easter Colors

I just can't help myself, I think the bunnies in the "Everybunny" stamp set are to stinkin' cute!

I needed to make one more Easter card to send out and The Paper Player Sketch  #137

was calling my name.  My two favorite colors together are Pool Party and Pink Pirouette, very pastel and reminds me of Easter eggs.  The bunnies were water colored using paint brushes, water and Stampin' Up! Classic Ink Pads.  Hope everyone is having a great week.

Easter Mojo

Playing along with the Mojo Monday Sketch 283!  I decided to do another Easter card, after that I only have one more to go.  Chose my colors from the Print Poetry DSP.  The Bunny was water colored and then I paper pieced his eggshell. Some Dazzling Details on his scarf and the strips on the egg.  I used the Large Paper Doily Sizzlit as a back drop for the bunny.  Trimmed it down so it would fit the way I wanted it to.  Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Embossing on Print Poetry DSP

Thought of this idea this morning and just had to put it together.  I wanted something easy and not too bulky to mail.  Stamping the flowers first using my Stamp-a-ma-jig for position and then embossed with white embossing powder. I then did the stems, leaf and sentiment.  I sponged around the edges of the DSP with Night of Navy.  Stamped the butterfly on a scrap of the DSP and popped it up on a glue dot.  Layered onto Bashful Blue and attached to the card base in Night of Navy.  I really like the contrast in the shades of blue.
