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!

Hello All.....HAPPY MONDAY!!!!

Today's card was real fun to make.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Peeled Paint and Fired Brick - and inked up the stamp, spritzed it with water and stamped the image.  These Distress Inks can produce such rich colors when you do this technique.  If you have any of these inks, pull 'em out and give this technique a try.  I am so sure that you will like the outcome.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great Monday!
