Stay Close to Nature

Technique- Out of The Box, or “Oval,” and Whisper Frames.
We were out to North Dakota a few weeks ago on vacation. No stop in Wahpeton would be complete without stopping to see my (Partner in Crime)… Sandy. We started Scrapbooking in 1994 and in 1995 we completed our books, then I talk her into Stamping!!!
Needless to say after a night of talking, showing and playing with cards, we had a great time. Sandy said if you run up to Fargo before you head home,…. You (HAVE TO) stop at K&K Crafts in the Moorhead Center Mall. Let me tell you I was never so happy to spend two hundred dollars in such a shot time as I felt that afternoon. This card is just a small part of my goodie I came home with. Stamp credits are Impression Obsession, the verse is from “Good for the Soul”, set CL-321 and “Gardening Tools”, F-1805. New Spellbinders dies are, “Floral Flourishes”, set of seven dies. The image was colored with Copic markers and sprayed with (my mix of), Glimmer Mist. I stamped the verse on acetate. My background paper is from Basic Grey called “Curio”. Thanks so much for your time this afternoon, have a wonderful rest of the week-end. Stampin’ Hugs Vada.

Grungy Tag

Today I thought I would try something different. Linda at Studio L3 has “Grungy Monday #12 Challenge”. So here’s my attempt. This is from Tim Holtz April 2008 TQ, and you can find the technique here. I’m not entering this tag in her challenge as I don’t feel that comfortable with what I have here.

Too busy or something.. Stamp credits are; TAC background and Tim Holtz “Visual Artistry Collection”. Designer paper from Basic Grey. Thanks for stopping by today.

Sending Smiles

Hero Arts has a monthly challenge and this month it is “Watercoloring with Distress Inks”. This is a “Cased Card”, from a very talented lady, Jacqueline at www.myscrapbasket.blogspot.com I bought this Hero Arts stamp sometime ago and didn’t really know what I wanted to do with it, and after seeing Jacqueline’s card I went nuts… Love it now, and will try it again.

The printed frame is from “The Graphic Fairy”, and the little girl is from “Magic Moonlight”. She was printed on acetate and dusted with white Pearl-X on the back. The “Sending Smiles”, stamp is also from Hero Arts.

Have a “Cool” week, temps here in the high 90’s today and very humid.

Thanks for stopping by.
