Starry night

Hi everyone. Today I've got a card to share with you, that I used some pretty cool technique combinations. I'll do my best to explain them, but don't hesitate to ask questions if you need more information. There is a whole lot going on with this card, but I think it still all gels. So here we go. Firstly this amazing background stamp is from Pez-a-doodle and I absolutely love it. It is called the Cobblestone background. The rest of the stamps are Studio G. I really love the fairy collection and can use them with so many different projects. You will notice that the center is made up of 5 pieces. Firstly 2 scalloped squares. Then a really distressed dark blue square with teal border. This dark blue square has a few different techniques on it. Firstly I used emboss resist (the paper was originally teal) then I crumpled the entire piece until the embossing powder started "cracking". Lastly I took Opalite ink and went over the entire piece to give it some "moon glow". A little Tricky but totally worth it.
Now for the cobblestone background, I also used emboss resist, but instead of using regular paper and ink, I used glossy paper and Alcohol ink. To remove the alcohol ink from the embossed image, all you have to do is use the Alcohol Blending solution and it will come right off the embossed part of your image. TRES COOL!!!

I will be doing a couple projects with embossing over at SNR in June, so make sure you stop by, and sign up. There are so many great things going on over there, that you will be so glad you made the decision to be a SNR JUNKIE!!!

Some sweetness to share

Hello Everyone. I hope you all had an absolutely wonderful weekend. Today I am going to share with you a card that I think is very different than any other that I've done. The image is not what I'd regularly do, but when I received this little sweetheart in the mail from About Art Accents, I had to stamp him. So here he is, Splish Splash Bath.



I glazed the entire cup with Glossy Accents. Then started all the coloring. For the image i used markers, color pencils and gamsol, and glaze pens. Super cute and this little guy is a part of a set. I hope you all enjoyed todays creation. He was a real treat to make.

Accessories: cream pearls (Kaiser Craft), green velvet ribbon, lace ribbon, orange jewel brad (Frightful:Little Yellow Bicycle)
Coloring agents: Versafine Black Onyx, glaze pens, le plume markers, color pencils, gamsol, glitter pens

Feminine Flair for Card Patterns.

Hello everyone,

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. We are so fortunate and blessed to have my parents out for the weekend. But I did sneak away last night to create a card for you all. This week I've been a little lax, so I apologize for that. It was the last day of preschool for my class this Thursday and saying goodbye to all those precious children was emotional to say the least. But I'm back now and hope you absolutely love this card. I used this weeks Card Patterns sketch challenge and decided to really keep it simple. So here she is.




The swirled background is something I created using a cuttlebug folder, a sanding block, perfect medium pen and some fuschia glitter. It sure packs a punch and I will be doing a tutorial for it soon, so keep your eyes open
