Love Truly

Yay! Got to play with my new LOL set! I actually mixed and matched the new set with lasts month's set.  Love the LOL stamps!  Here's my FWF project.

.

The colors I used came from the current challenge over at Color Throwdown; Challenge #250.  Just found this blog and decided to play along.

 Since I don't own any SU paper, I used the closest colors I could find.  I do have a few SU inks, and I happen to have Melon Mambo and Crumb Cake.  I used Melon Mambo on the heart and the heart border.  I used Crumb Cake to stamp the sentiment and I used it on the background paper also.  The tag I colored with some gelatos, tried to pick a color similar to Bermuda Bay.  The yellow background was made using some Cat's Eye ink I recently purchased.  Added a few buttons and trim.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a blessed weekend!

Color Throwdown #250

Anniversary card

This is my first window card.  I always thought they looked really neat, but I just never tried making one.  So here goes....

The image is from Flourishes Garden Gate set.  I colored it using my Distressed markers and blender pen.  After I was done coloring, I misted it with shimmer spritz to add an all over sparkle.  Doesn't show up in the picture, but it looks awesome!  Cut out the window, then used a swiss dot embossing folder to add texture to the panel.  I then adhered the panel to the card base with foam tape.  Used a piece of scrap paper and white EP for the sentiment.  Used clear EP on the heart and used the emboss/resist technique when coloring it.  Added a flower button and a couple tiny heart buttons for accents.

Thanks for stopping my little corner of blog land!  God bless!!

Thank a Veteran

Another Veteran thank you card.  Used the 300th sketch over at Mojo Monday to create this thank you card.
       

Used silver EP to emboss the eagle from SU's  The Free and The Brave set.  Colored the Eagle with markers and pencils.  Distressed the edges of the layers and inked them with Memento brown ink.  The stars were cut with my Cricut then inked with Fired Brick Distressed ink.  The Thank You sentiment is from Verve.  I used MFT Die-namics Fishtail Flags Layers Stax for the sentiment banner.  Added a little MFT hemp cord to the end of the banner.

Mojo Monday #300 Celebration

Happy Anniversary

Tried my hand at making a round card.  Only the second one I've ever made; turned out a little small, but its cute!

I used the Egg stamp from Flourishes Easter Wishes set to stamp and fussy cut the flower from the image.  Colored the image using Prismacolor pencils. The background paper is from Echo Park For the Record.  Stamped the sentiment with Fired Brick Distressed Ink.  Added a little polka dotted bow.  The flowers are popped up with foam tape.  I also added a little homemade glitter glue to the little yellow flower buds.  Giving this card to my parents who will be celebrating the 52nd Anniversary this year!   I am blessed to have such a great example to follow!

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #227 - Going in Circles

Loved

Found a little time to play tonight.  Used sketch #300 from Mojo Monday for my layout.  There is a BIG celebration going on over at Mojo Monday, head on over and check it out!

Used a couple stamps from Unity to create this "You are Loved" card.  Hope it cheers up the recipient!

Not sure of the name of the string of hearts stamp.  I received it in a grab bag, lucky me! I love this stamp.  Stamped it on water color paper and used some water color pencils to color it.  The sentiment is from an Itty Bitty set called Bitty Regards.  Used some SU Crumb Cake to ink up the edges of the layers.  Added some piercing around the sheet music panel and the circle.  The heart on the sentiment is a Dazzle Sticker layered on some of the background paper and cut out.  

Thanks for taking the time to check out my card!  Have a blessed weekend!

Mojo Monday - 300 Celebration

Friends with Flair - July 5, 2013

Red, White and Blue

Playing along with the Hambo Hoedown and Tuesday Morning Sketches.  The Hoedown challenge was to use red, white and blue.  This is the sketch from Tuesday Morning

Here is my card.  Came together really quick. (a little to quick by the looks of the inside, I matted the sentiment crooked and didn't notice it until it was too late.  Oh well, if I wanted perfect I would have bought a card!)

Used the Hambo digi "Mouse Painter" to create this not so typical 4th of July card.  Colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol.  Added a strip of white card stock with a strip of washi tape down the center.  Added a few gold Dazzle star stickers to the washi tape and the image panel.  Popped the sentiment and image up with foam tape.  Inside I added a sentiment label.  Quick and easy, gotta love that!
Thanks for stopping by!  Have a blessed 4th of July!
