Autumn #3

Hello!

I bought a fall embossing folder, but didn't really like the fact that it was all one color when you embossed your paper.  So, I dug out my sprays and my twinkling H2O's and went to work on it.

First I sprayed the white cardstock with Tsukineko Walnut Ink Sprays.  I let it dry, then ran it through the Cuttlebug using the embossing folder.

Using autumn colors, I painted all the embossed parts with the Twinkling H2O's.  Then I stamped the "Autumn" on a piece of coordinating cardstock and used a Spellbinders die to cut it out.  I attached it with pop dots.  It's so shiny and sparkly and I didn't even have to use glitter on it.  :-)

I love the way this card turned out.

Have a happy day!

Inky hugs,

Sympathy Card

I recently had occasion to make a sympathy card.  I had my Hero Arts butterfly stamps on my desk, so I figured I'd give it a go.  Here is the result:

The blue background is textured. I colored the butterflies with Twinkling H2O's.  I also put some twinks on the centers of the flowers, then spritzed with water and let it bleed outward towards the petals.  

I was pleased with the result.  So much so that I decided to make a "thinking of you" card.  By changing the background paper to bright colors I think I was able to pull it off. This could also be used for a birthday or get well card.

I hope you have enjoyed my offerings today.

I hope you get to do something crafty.

Over The Moon Monday - Wedding II

Good morning.  I hope you had a great week.  The weekend is always too short for me, how about you?  

The weather here is already horribly hot.  The heat index was 110 degrees on Saturday. It was really hot the whole weekend. It's too early in the year for it to be this hot. It's not even technically summer yet.  Good weather to stay indoors and stamp, if you ask me.

Last week I showed you a wedding card I was making.  I spent the week re-doing the card, and I like how it turned out.  I will apologize in advance for the scan - lumpy cards just don't scan well, and I need batteries for the digital camera. Anyway, here is the new and improved card:

Here are the changes I made:

• I used twinkling H20's to color the embossed images.
• I matted the flowers with patterned paper.
• I made an additional flower with the patterned paper to add a little interest.

Leave a comment and let me know which one  you like best, the glittered one or the one that used twinks.

I hope you have a great week!
