Awesome Friend

Hello!

I have a couple of cards and a tag to share today and I'll keep this very brief. First up is a card I made for Cas-ual Friday's Color Challenge.

I used Cas-ual Fridays Mon Ami stamp set and Friend die.

I'm also linking this to Simon Says Work It Wednesday and SSS Anything Goes.

     

Flowers and Hugs

My next card was inspired by Essentials By Ellen Pin Sights Challenge:-

I used Essentials by Ellen Mondo Hydrangea and Lovely Stamp sets, and colored with Zigs.

Be Different

And lastly I have a fun tag which I created for Rubber Dance Theme Challenge. 

  

For the background I used acrylic paints and an old credit card. Really fun to make!  Stamped the flowers and some quick coloring with Distress Inks... added a title and some twine and that's it.  Super quick and easy.

That's it from me today.  Have a great week!

Hi!

I'm back again!  Here are a few more cards I made over the week-end but didn't get the opportunity to post.   

.

A simple card with one of my favorite techniques, Emboss Resist, and one of my favorite colors, Cracked Pistachio.  The stamps are Waffle Flower (Lacy Flower) and Essentials By Ellen (sentiment).  I'm linking this to Essentials by Ellen Mix It Up Challenge and WOW! April Challenge.

While I had my stamps out I made two more cards.  

A fun and cheerful one..... just because ☺

No words

Here is my 3rd card ...... 

When I first saw this stamp (Waffle Flower Lacy Stamp) I knew that I had to do a bit of doodling!  Such fun!  The sentiment is Essentials by Ellen .... with some doodles of course!  Added a pop of color - not sure why it always seems to be red... ☺

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Chalkboard Technique

A very quick post to share a card I made over the week-end.  The challenge at Mod Squad this week is to use the Chalkboard Technique.  My card is a very simple and easy one.  The stamp set is Cas-ual Friday's and the background stamp is Hero Arts.  Added a pop of red for a bit of color.

I'm also playing along at Rubberdance.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Scrapbook Layout

Hello and Happy Easter!

My first project today is a scrapbook layout.  It's been a while since I did any scrapping and when I saw the Sketch Challenge at Altenew I was inspired to haul out my supplies.  

(click to enlarge)

I painted broad uneven stripes for the background on my 12 x 12 paper.  The frame for the photo is chipboard and I first applied gesso, stamped with versamark, heat embossed with Satin Pearl EP and applied ink with my blending tool.  

Here is a close-up of the embossed resist frame:

The stamps and dies are Altenew Peony Bouqet, Label Love, Calligraphy Alpha and Happy die.

I finished off with a few other embellishments and of course some splatters!

I had fun with this and hope to do more layouts soon.

Thanks for looking!
