Emboss Resist Using Diecuts

I had time to make a card with my background from yesterday that was clear embossed and color added by blending ink - my first time blending ink!

It turned out to be a nice soft background! Vellum feathers, stitching, sequins, sentiment and a banner finish it off for today! I better go make myself lay down now.

Have a lovely afternoon!

Simon Says Challenge

Create your own Background

I used a stencil to clear emboss around my sentiment and then was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's

video to watercolor! I ended up with a fun fall card to give my Dad for his birthday today!

Have a great evening!

Emboss Resist Using Diecuts

What a fun video this week! Candy bar -haha - Laura is funny and I did end up eating a York patti while working on this card =)

Waiting for baby and I keep thinking I might not be able play this week...but snuck another one in =) And got to give it to my Dad for his Birthday today!

The ink is watercolored on with my Summer sunrise, Orange Zest and Pure Poppy inks.

Did some rockn' and rolln' with my leaf stamp inspired by Laura's beautiful cards she posted today!

I make a background where the ink was blended on - I'll have to see if I have time to make a card with it.

Have a great evening!

Back to School Easel Card

I've been thinking about this MIM all week and wanting to play. Had to stay home with sickly kids today so I got to play!

Used 'simply framed' die to make the easel, embossed with wood and then used 'simply framed' and 'Desktop Design' stamps to make this school version.

I wanted to try a fall one too:

Have a great day!
