Color, Color, Color

Hello again.. I think I'm getting back in the groove a little! YAY me! Today's card features a color combo that was very new to me. Cherry Cobbler, Kiwi Kiss and Regal Rose. I have to say, when I looked at that I was STUMPED! I finally got it in gear and came up with this card!



As you can see I used various punches to add detail to the card. I also colored the pearls so I could stay completely true to the color combo. All in all not bad, but I don't this is a combo I will turn to again and again..

Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Regal Rose, Kiwi Kiss
Ink: Kiwi kiss, versamark
Accessories: pearls, 5 petal flower punch, scallop circle punch, MS punch, kiwi kiss ribbon,copic, sakura stardust gel pen, clear embossing powder

Hope you have a great day!

Illumination

My tribute to teachers who illuminate the lives of their students...The challenge is to create a luminaria. I chose to go with a teacher theme. In this case, I thought that the designer paper was to thin to stand up to the luminaria challenge, so I adhered the dp to a piece of heavy duty card stock. Then I scored the cardstock in the appropriate places and ran it through the big Shot with the Apple nestabilities from Spellbinders. I added the border at the top at the very end. I think it came out ok.. I still need some practice though!!

Paper: DCWV DP, Pure Luxury white

The Heart says it all

Hi there! This card was made to showcase shaped cards. In this specific case, I sure wish I had the Grand Calibur and some Grand Heart Nesties.... but I did what I could :-) I got this awesome velvet paper from Susannas Custom Art and Card Design. I used my heart nesties to cut it out. I added the rhinestones for some bling factor. Honestly, this is not my favorite. The idea that was in my head is hiding in there somewhere, but it's not obvious.. LOL

A Vision in White

Hey there!! Not so long between posts this time. I've been very busy, but at least there was some time for creating in there. In a continuation of Mini VSN and VSN cards, (which will probably take the rest of the month;-) )... here is a vision in white. The challenge was to use an image that was entertwined. What better image than the entwined hearts from the ODBD set.

Obviously, this is a very simple card. I used White and Shimmery White Cardstock. The image is embossed using iridescent ice and I used my very used Bow Easy to make a pretty bow for the top. Now, if only someone would get married so I would have someone to send this to.

Paper: Pure Luxury white and Pearl

Mini VSN

Yes, ok-- I'm updating my blog. Someone call Ripley's!!! All I have had a chance to work on lately are my VSN samples. I am so happy that I get to be a VSN hostess this time around. For those who don't know what VSN is, stop by Splitcoast. It's a lovely fun time of virtually stamping with friends. Really a ton of fun!! Now that the mini-VSN is over, I can post some of the cards.

This little cutie is for the challenge that asked us to paper piece our hearts out. We are supposed to paper piece 2 different parts of the image. I chose to piece the dress, the bow, and the stool cushion. I used some lace on the background for a little girly effect. Hope you like!!

Secret Santa

I'm someone's secret santa. I know that my person has received their package. Part of the package had to include an Ornament. I chose, not sure if this is good or bad, to make the ornaments. I used glitter it and glitter to fill the ball ornaments...The snowflake is made using a cardboard snowflake. I spray painted it silver. I used my Cuttlebug snowflake die to cut the red snowflake using foil paper. I used scor tape and glitter to make the rays and lastly, I used a dimensional snowflake die cut in the very center. I hope she likes them ;-)

WRAK Card

I got this awesome image through WRAK. This is one of the Penny Johnson images that she designs for Stampavie. Isn't it just precious? I had so much fun coloring and making this card. The image is colored with copics. The back layer of the main image is velvet paper. I found the velvet paper at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. I LOVE it! Just bought more in facr. The reindeer antlers are covered in fun flock, the nose uses a spica pen and I use Stickles for all the snowflakes! All in all a really easy card that has a little texture :-)
