I’ve really been drawn to plaid lately….so I thought I’d give this technique a try! I was inspired by Kristina Werner to create a plaid background with Gansai Tambi Watercolors. Combine that with the current Lawnscaping Challenge to use black, purple and one other color (I added some silver!) and I came up with this card: […]
Have a beary amazing day
Nearly every time I make a card for my Dad, I use a different bear image. Today, I’m using the Lawn Fawn Dad set for the first time. I used my Akayashi Sai watercolor markers to color the bear, and some mustard seed distress ink to give a little color to the background. I love […]
Go Wild
I love these stamps by WPlus9, and I was delighted to use them again for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Let’s Go Wild. These cute Wplus9 critters are having a wild party with cupcakes. (That’s about as wild as it gets around here, peeps!) I used distress inks and a MFT stencil for […]
Pattern Palooza!
I certainly used a lot of patterns on this one! Had some fun, too. These are almost all Lawn Fawn papers and stamps. Notice the polka dot wings on the fairies (good thing I didn’t add that to their skin…hello, chickenpox!). Notice the pattern on the mushrooms. Notice the pattern of the sky, grass, and […]
Happy Little Spot on Cloud 9
Today is my Dad’s birthday. He likes bears…so this card was made just for him. I love that little panda! The cloud he’s sitting on is embossed in silver embossing powder, and the stars and banner were cut with silver glitter paper. Those clouds with all different designs are so awesome (Neat and Tangled) […]
Hippo Birdie
This Lawn Fawn stamp set is adorable, and I haven’t had the chance to ink it up until now! It was my son’s birthday this week (he’s 24…I can’t believe it!) If you know me at all, then you know that I STRUGGLE with masculine cards. I mean I have to really focus! But Jennifer […]
Stretch Your Stamps Day 3 — Stamped die cuts
This online card class is so much fun! I’m loving how to learn to “Stretch Your Stamps” and today I was inspired by Debby Hughes. She is a master at clean and simple, and I think my card turned into a little bit more…it actually may be a mix between Debby’s class and Stephanie Klauck’s […]
