March Flowers


Hi everybody,

Today's card is all about showcasing the flowers. I individually stamped the flower using Memento Ink and then used a Marvy Uchida Brush Marker for the stems. I spritzed the inked stamp w/water and then stamped the image. Added some gem stones because I love me some bling...and voila! The card is complete!

I hole you try the ink, spritz, and stamp technique. It's alot of fun and you will just love the final product. Thanks for stopping by!

Distressing....


Hello all & Happy Monday!

Today's card is a tribute to Tim Holtz's Distressing inks. I sooo love them. I used the distressing inks on the diamond pattern (Spiced Maralade & Peeled Paint)by inking up the two colors and then spritzing it w/water, and then stamping the image. I did the exact same technique w/the butterfly and then sponged color on it and added gem stones.

I love the color combo and I really like how it came out. Thanks for stopping by and see ya tomorrow!

Happy TGIF!!! - Sending Sunshone


Happy Friday all....

The weekend is HERE and I am so glad. My children are will be off for the next week for Easter Recess, so you know what that means - MORE CRAFTING!!!...at least I hope so...LOL!

Okay, so here's my card for you today. Since Spring is here and I am so looking forward to the lovely weather we're going to be having, I created another card that represents Spring. I used HeroArts A Real Violet flower stamp as the focal point of the card. I did this really cool techique when stamping the flowers. I used Memento Ink on each of the flowers and Marvy Uchida Brush Markers in the stems. Next, I spritzed water on the stamp and then stamped the image. This gave the image a water-colored look - LOVIN' IT!!! You just gotta try it!!!! I added foam dots to give dimension to the flowers too! Love foam dots!!!

I hope you like it and thanks again for stopping by my neck of the woods!
Have a SUPER FANTASTIC weekend!!!!

Flowers Say Hello from the Heart!


Happy Hump Day all-

Today's card was something that came to me sometime last week. I drew a sketch of it and decided to giv it a try and I just love the way it came out. I used one flower stamp (HeroArts Whimsical Flower LL787)and colored the flowers in using my PrismaColor pencils. I added gem stones in the middle of the flower to add some bling and then used a rectangle scalloped edge punch to punch the flowers out. I stamped the word sentiment (HeroArts C2553) and added foam dots. This card reminds me that Spring is here and Summer is ring around the corner!

Thanks for stopping by.
