Thinking Of Spring

A nice break from all the Red’s of Christmas and now Valentines,

I needed some bright and colorful, little something with a Spring feel.

I think this card does just that for me.

My background stamp is from Hero Arts. I used crumpled up tissue paper that was patted in distress inks, (salty ocean, squeezed lemonade and pickled raspberry.)

Then the tissue was pressed unto the card stock, leaving bright bold splashes of color, then it was water down so the colors would run and bleed together. How Fun Is That? 

For my tag, it was blended with the blending tool, same colors, stamped with Stampers Anonymous little girl stamp. Water added and when dried sprayed with Goosebumps spray.

I used two small vellum tags and they were stamped with Stampin’ Up stamps.

Thanks for stopping in today, hope you have a wonderful week end.

D- Lites Die -Thinking Of You

As of late I have been seeing a lot of work done with stencils and all kinds of sprays and paints, even going back to embossing paste (Check out

Lynne’s Heart Shaped Valentine Box. 

So I thought it was time to break out an old plastic 99 cent stencil and some embossing paste to which I added some Victorian velvet distress ink. 

Now you know the winter is getting long here when

all I have to do is play with embossing paste.

To be honest with you, it was so fun to go back to the beginning stamping techniques. So I ask you, (When was the last time you went back to the basic’s of stamping, and what did you retry?

Regardless this made a very nice little card, and I’m pleased with it. Hope you are having a creative day. Thanks for stopping in today, I enjoy for visits.

Show Some Love

Fashionable Stamping Challenge is “Show Some Love .”

 

Using one of my favorite Photo Image stamps from “Art by Moonlight” and Archival ink in Sepia I stamped this wonderful little boy and girl.

Tinting the image with Antique Linen distress ink, and curled the edges. My printed paper is from TPC Studio (Ancestral Teal Brocade) and a small stamp from A-Muse Studio.

The Heart shape candy stamps are from TAC. I placed them on decorative hat pins, added little beads. The metal flower is from Creative Imaginations, which I painted with acrylic paint.

I hope you have a chance to stop into Fashionable Stamping and take a look at all the beautiful artwork done for this challenge, then join us.

 Would love to see “Your Love”.

Have a wonderful snowy afternoon. Stay off the Icy Roads and Stamp!!!

White on White with Decorative Edge.

This is the current challenge at Our Creative Corner.  

  I thought this would be an easy peasy challenge, but never though there would be so many different colors or shades of (White). Funny even white embossing powder looks creamy, as well as white vellum turns to yellow tones. 

Oh well here’s my entry for this challenge. Using a Martha Steward punch called “Garden Trellis”, I punched the decorative edge. Then form Tim Holtz collection I used the following die, Bird Branch 637833, Cardinal 658266. The branch was cut four times from white cardstock. Same with the cardinal. 

My flowers were stamped on vellum and embossed with white embossing powder, then cut out, stamp used was from Stampin’ Up.

Embellishments from Keeping Memories, Michaels. Crocheted flowers and white plastic bag from my stash. Thanks for stopping by today, hope everyone is staying warm. Have a good creative day.

Be Mine Pocket Card

At Christmas I was given a gift in a white plastic gift bag, which I saved and cut apart to make the pocket for this little card. I used the Pocket Envelope Die 657843 from Sizzix,

cut and emboss it with white embossing powder. 

Stamp used was from Great Impressions H172.

Using the Word Play Die 657837 from Sizzix, for the letters, stained them and added embellishments and stamping. For the little card inside (this is where all the fun begins), using some beautiful papers from Making Memories (background) and from Kaiser Craft (Sweet Nothings Collection) for the cherub. With the Heart die 654983 from Sizzix

 

 

I cut one med heart, out of soft aluminum and stained it with Red Pepper Alcohol Ink and ran it though my Vintaj Embossing folder 657933. The other heart was cut from Christmas ribbon. Added Tim Holtz’s embellishments (arrow and word band). Plus two 3D hearts. Back of card stamp credits are Tim Holtz and Hero Arts.

Thank you for your time today, hope everyone is well and inside staying warm.
