Happy Friday....

Happy Friday Buddies...

 

This weekend is a long time a comin'....it took so lone to get here.  I think all this snow that we're having here had slowed the week down....but as they say, " good things come to those who wait"....LOL!!!  Are you feeling my excitement for the weekend or what?...WooHoo!

 

Okay, for today's card, I did yet another Tim Holtz's Distress the entire cardstock technique...I am lovin' doing this so please, bear with me...you may see a flux of card with this being done...LOL!  I created the background using Peeled Paint, Broken China, and Fired Brick.  With the simple background I wanted a striking focal point and that is where I used the LARGE SOLID FLOWER.  I also embossed the flower using clear embossing powder to give it some shine.  And of course...a card isn't a card without some bling...LOL!!!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great Friday and weekend!

CAARDVARKS Challenge! - Wedding Card Publication #5

Hello all-

LAST, but NOT LEAST is the final wedding card submission. THIS card is my favorite and I had the most fun making because I used Tim Holtz's Distress Inks. I am lovin' distressing now. I tell my kids they better watch out or I'll distress them...LOL!!!

I stamped the wedding image w/VersaMark in and then heat embossed it using BLACK OPAGUE embossing powder. I just LOVE this look because the image came out so clear, dark, and shiny. I tore the edges of both the wedding image and word sentiment and distressed both of them. I FIRST used WORN LIPSTICK and then on top of that, I used VINTAGE PHOTO. I added foam dots to that to adhere it to the tag.

Now the tag, I embossed using my CuttleBug using the TEXTILE folder and then used the same two distress inks on it. The 3rd layer (PINK CARDSTOCK) I used my HEIDI SWAPP EDGE DISTRESS tool and distress the edges, and then swiped it using VINTAGE PHOTO ink, I attached that using foam dots.

Again...I hope you enjoyed seeing my wedding submissions.

Thanks SO VERY much for always stopping by!
