Congrats

Hi everyone,

Well it's a beautiful warm day, the sun is shining and I've been for my power walk. Life is good. Now it's time to post a card that I made for the current Watercolor challenge at A Blog Named Hero here.

Here's my card:

I started by stamping the Hero Arts Large Open Flower stamp with white embossing powder and heat setting.

I moved onto colouring each of the little petals of the flower with 2 different colours of Peerless Watercolors and blending them with a water brush. When I was finished that I decided to die cut the flower image using a Fancy Frames Circles die from Sunny Studio Stamps which fit perfectly around my image.

I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink and white heat embossed onto die cut banner. The card base was covered with an orange panel on which I also stamped the flower image randomly with Versamark ink.

Added foam tape to the flower and sentiment and applied to my card base.

I used some Little Things from Lucy's Cards to add a little sparkle.

Well that's it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Hero Arts Large Open Flower Stamp

Hi everyone,

I have a card to share for 2 Simon Says Stamp challenges. The Wednesday 'Love is in the Air" challenge here and also the SSS Flickrchallenge #89 where the theme is "Love/Hearts.

I started by creating  my watercolour background using Peerless Watercolour in Rose Red on a piece of Tim Holtz Distress watercolour cardstock. I then added little flicks of Pearl Ex-Press watercolour to give it a little shine. I then moved onto diecutting the love from the centre of the piece. I die cut it 4 or 5 more times from white cardstock and then stacked all the pieces together to add some extra dimension.

I used 2 different sizes of a large stitched rectangle die to cut both the background piece and also a piece of patterned paper.

Added the patterned paper to my card base and then foam mounted my watercolour panel. Adhered the die cut sentiment, stamped the other sentiment on black cardstock and heat embossed with white eembossing powder.

Well that's it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Hi everyone,

I have a card to share with you for the current SSSflickrchallenge  here where the theme is "To Emboss Like a Boss" and also for Day 17 of thedailymarker30day here by Kathy Racoosin.

I started by blending some scuba ink to the base of my card. Then I added a stencil and some translucent embossing paste over that to create my background. I then went on to create a watercolour pallette so I could die cut the word happy from it.

I used 2 stitched rectangle dies to emboss the edges of my card and then flicked on some drops of color shine.

Layered the panel with some foam tape onto a decorative card which I believe is from Concord & 9th. Added the die cut word and the sentiment which was stamped on black cardstock and heat embossed with white powder.

Well that's it for this card and thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone,

I have a card to share for the current SSSflickrchallenge#68 to create 'Something New' here

Mine is a shaker card I created to welcome a new baby.

Blended a circle background first and then used various circle dies and some SSS stamps and dies to make my shaker.
Embossed the base of the card using a stitched rectangle filled the shaker with sequins and added some twine to finish the card.

Hi everyone,

This week I'm taking the Online Card Classes Holiday Style. I seem to be a little bit behind but managed to do a little catch up today as I had the day off work.
Here's the card I created following Debby Hughes' sample from Day 1 of the class.

I stamped the backgound with various size snowflakes and embossed in silver and white embossing powders. I then applied colours from Koi - Payne's Gray and Butterfly Wing blue from Peerless blending the background.

Added the splatters with Koi - cobalt blue and white using a Hero Arts white dauber ink which I watered down a bit.

I didn't have a long sentiment so I used 2 different words from Lawn Fawn's Baaah Humbug set and cut them apart and angled them on a curve using my Misti tool.

The snowflake border is a Memory Box die and silver embossed.

Added some silver thread and that's it for this card. 

Thanks for stopping by,
