Love!

Hello!

It has been so cold and snowy here lately.  I'm kind of over it if I'm being honest.  But in spite of my loathing of snow lately, I do still like snowy glittery cards! 

This card uses the new stamp set from Whimsy called, Marshmallow Wishes. I did a no line coloring technique with Copics and colored pencils.  I stamped the sentiment in Versamark black ink.  I used the Pierced and Stitched Circle Die to cut out the image.  I added some glossy accents and glitter.  I also used the Elegant Snowflakes and Border die to add this snowflake embellishment. 

For the background panel in blue I used the Slimline Hearts Background die.  I used it to emboss rather than cut.  I have a tutorial HERE if interested in seeing how I did it.  :) For the pink panel behind I used the Formal Lattice Stencil, texture paste, and glitter.  I layered everything with Shaker Maker Foam Tape. 

Have a great day my friends!

 

 

A Card Using Scraps! (Take Two!)

Those of you that follow my blog, know that I tend to hoard my scraps and "leftover" pieces that go into a "reject" pile.  Sometimes when I look at my ever growing pile, I feel inspired and see new combinations that I may not have normally seen. 

I am not sure if I love this card, or hate it.  

But that is what creating is about. 

Playing.

Experimenting.

Thinking outside of your comfort zone.

So with these leftovers, I created what could easily be a wedding, anniversary, or feminine birthday card.  The sentiment is from SRM STickers.  I cut up a pink striped straw to add a bit of interest to my watercolored flower.  I added glitter, string, epoxy dots, and a blue frame using a Spellbinder's die. 

There are a lot of things going on with this card.  It is as far away from a CAS card as you can get! LOL! 

I am sure with the amount of stuff I have laying all over my desk, that another "reject" card will be created in the near future.  ;)

I am off to a field trip today with my 5th graders to learn about the French fur trade. 

Wish me luck! (and warmth!)
