Petal Party Two

This card was made using the Penny Black " Petal Party" .  I am not going to take the full credit for the design.  I did see a card  that inspired this.   All you need is some White Cardstock, embossing ink and powder and in this case some Memento pads.  I cut a strip about 2 x 5.5 and stamped my flower and leaves on it with Versa Mark and then added white embossing powder which was then heat set. The card is 4.25 x 5.5.   I did do one flower separate so I could cut it and pop it on the card.  I used Memento Morocco and New Sprout to distress my stamped strip.  The flower was distressed with the Morocco ink and a Rich Cocoa marker was used to color the center.  Remember to white the image off after distressing to clean up the embossing.  The sentiment was stamped with archival black ink to complete the card.  A very quick and simple card to make.  Hope  you enjoy

Tag "You're It"

The JustRite Friday Challenge #077 is to create a custom tag or use a tag in your project.  I choose to make a tag for this project.  The stamps used for this project are the JustRite 'Noel Xmas Ornament" and JustRite "Snowfall Background Stamp".  Both of these are new summer released and will be lots of fun to work with.  I used a new color from Memento to stamp the tag "Teal Zeal".  The Ornament was stamped, then distressed with Antique Linen and finally cut with a Spellbinder die.  A small piece of Authentique music paper was used in the center.  On the tag the swirls and snowflakes were highlighted with a silver pen.  Small clear gems from Bo Bunny highlight the snowflakes.  On the ornament the silver pen was used again but the gems are Crystal Candy dots by Pebbles.  A bow was added and then a snowflake was cut from American Crafts white with the new Spellbinder "Create-a-flake four" die. A Pebbles dot finishes off the the snowflake.  The tag used is from Ranger "Inkssentials".  Hope you enjoy.

Forever Memories

Unity Stamps is hosting a sketch challenge using their Kit of the Month Stamps.  I just received the July 2011 " ...better together "  set so here is the first card I made using the new set.
The paper is new from Cosmo Cricket "Odds and Ends" scraps.  I used Spellbinder ovals to cut out my stamped set and distressed the bottom layer with Antique Linen.  Memento Tuxedo Black was used to stamp the image.  I cut the bike and pop dotted it.  I turned the sketch to the side and added a ribbon.  Hope you enjoy.

Weighty Matters

This card was made for the Summer On-line Card Camp I have been posting about for the past couple of weeks.  The colors are white, red, taupe, brown and dark brown.  I used a stamp by Cornish Heritage Farms (no longer available) to make my design.  Hope you enjoy

Supplies:

Stamp:  Cornish Heritage Farms “Weighty Matters”

Paper:  Basic Grey and Bazzill

Ink:  Memento Rich Cocoa and Lady Bug

Just For you-JustRite challenge 049

JustRite is hosting a Direct to Rubber Technique challenge.  For this I used the Fancy Labels set and applied my ink in a random pattern.  To do this I began by putting Memento Rich Cocoa on the edges.  I then applied Memento Cottage Ivy, Rose Bud and Grape Jelly which are colors I was trying to pick out of the paper.   Since I do not have the Memento markers I created my own using Tsukineko's Fantastix brush point sticks and the Memento ink.  Both the front and back of the DP was used and this is from Echo Park Paper. I did stamp and pop up the Just for You, using the Rose Bud and Grape Jelly on the back of the DP which was cut with my oval Spellbinder. (edit:  this was done using the rock and roll technique.)   Actually both the stamped and die cut images are popped up.   Spellbinder ovals and labels 13 were used to cut the JustRite stamp.  The Ribbon is from May Arts and accented with a brad from My Mind's Eye "Stella and Rose" decorative brads.  It is so much fun that the CHA orders are arriving at my LSS "Fond Memories".  I needed to do something today as we are having a heavy snow storm/blizzard here in Minnesota.  Hope you enjoy
