for a friend. Seems that I have a lot of cards to make in the month of September.
This is a terrible photo - I tried several different angles and locations. The card is actually a pretty gold color and the colors in the image are quite off here. Grrr!
Both stamps are from Magenta and I will enter this card in their September challenge. Also, the Flutterby Wednesday challenge which is anything goes as long as there is a butterfly on the card.
TFL!
is always fun to do and I should remember to do it more often. Here is a birthday card I made for a friend whose birthday is this week:
I used the Lost & Found Sunshine 6 x 6 pad for the Hero Arts Pom Pom flower stamp. It kinda' looks like the pretty fall mums I am seeing everywhere now. I also used liquid enamel dots for the centers and accents on the tabs. They were made using a Stampin' Up punch I acquired recently.
This card will be sent over to Word Art Wednesday for their challenge which is anything goes.
Hope your day is a good one!
for Week 137 at Less is More
using the colors from the current Duo Dynamics challenge:
The Hero Arts classic rose stamp is so beautiful when used as a single element on a card:
I added a few stickles and a splatter stamp from Denami Designs. (purchased in 1999). The sentiment is from Hero Arts also.
Have a wonderful day!
Isn't this gown breathtaking??
I needed to make a birthday card for a friend and her favorite color is blue (as is mine), so I had to give the current Runway Inspired challenge a try:
I used the Mojo Monday 311 sketch for this card - rather loosely, I admit. But the overall design is there I think. And, the scroll stamp from Hero Arts reference the swirls in the beautiful dress from RIC.
This card was made with just stamps and cardstock, with a few sequins and liquid pearls for accent. I am pleased with the results.
Thanks so much for visiting.
is the challenge for week 135 at Less is More and they are featuring Penny Black stamps. Here is my card:
For some reason, I have been using a lot of pink on my cards lately! I used an older Penny Black brush stroke stamp called Bliss and an even older PB sentiment for this card. I colored the image with distress inks and then spritzed with water. I love the way the 2nd and 3rd generation "ghost" stamping looks. Just a few tiny gems to add some sparkle.
Hope you are enjoying a relaxing Labor Day without much labor!!
are the main design for this card:
The stamps are from Hero Arts. The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch. The dies are Spellbinders Nestabilities. Since I am always short of time to actually sit down and create several cards at a time, I am just going to enter this card into a few challenges, listed below:
Word Art Wednesday
Flutter by Wednesday
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge
I hope your weekend is a great one - I can't believe it is going to be September on Sunday!!!
is the challenge at Casology this week:
I don't know how to make many things using origami folds, but I love this kimono and have used it a lot over the years:
The rubber stamp in the corner is from Red Pearl and was stamped with Delicata gold ink. The meaning of it is written on the side of the wood mount: "I know too much to be sure of anything". I added a gold border with a Pilot gold metallic pen and layered the panel to a green card base.
Happy Sunday!
