I'm back!!!

Hello folks, soooo sorry for all the delays. I'm finally getting situated with my financial woes and schedule. So here I am, ready to create and share. I want to start off with a card I made all my own with no help of a sketch.

I went to the local craft store and bought the elegant set of clear stamps from Inkadinkado called "Chandeliers". I started with basic black cardstock for the base of the card, followed by plain white paper and the Pretty in Pink cardstock from SU! I dried embossed pink piece for texture using the cuddle bug "Swiss dots" and added the black and white fancy print paper... Now I'm not quiet sure what you would call the design on that piece... you can really tell by the picture but it a fuss or felt on the actual print, which I thought bought out the black.

And finished it with the sentiment of "Birthdays count" doubled sided stamp from SU!, square brads and a black sheer ribbon on the top the card. As for the inside of the card, I never put too much thought before on adding anymore embellishments, but I think it adds more appeal to the card, dont you think? Well thank you for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend... tooddles.

With sympathy

Hello everyone, I just want to share my latest creation. While watching the Oscars tonight, I made a sympathy card using this weeks Our Creative corner sketch.

I started with a simple white cardstock for the base, layered it with Pink Pirouette (discountinued) and the Ginger blossom dsp (discountinued). My centerpiece comes from Inkadinkado's Spiritual sketches.

This was a lovely piece to work with. I wanted to share the intricut details of this stamp, I thoroughly enjoyed coloring this with the SU! blender pens to make it really delicate. You can barely see the subtle blue outline, but its there. I hope you like. Toodles.

With Sympathy

Good morning everyone, I hope you week is off to a great start. Aside from the glorious weather we continue to have here in Souther Cali, I had a very good friend lose her father last week. So I kept her in mind when I made this card.

I started with the floral image in Basic black and embossed it with clear powder. Then I just colored the middle of each lilly with Yoyo yellow and the leaves are with Old olive. The next step was to go over the entire image with Versa mark and covered it again with clear embossing powder.

The next process was easy. Its easier to cover the rest f the paper by sponging an ink of choice, to not disturb the image you started with. I picked Baja breeze to not take away from the lillies. Then I added the water ripples by using a white gel pen to identify what parts of the images are in water. I think it came out quite nice.... after several drafts, lol. I hope you like it. I'll be back soon, tooddles.
