Spring Card!

 

I have been playing around this morning with some of my treasures, from my recent shopping trip!  I made a stencil, out of a window sheet and my crop-a-dile.  I then smeared, Modeling Paste, on the stencil, then viola, a new kind of texture!  I also smeared, the Modeling Paste, randomly.  Another tool that I used, was the Color Spritzer, with the Soft Suede marker.

I had to use one of the colors that are being discontinued, Certainly Celery, it has been around for as long as I can remember.  

Vintage Wedding Card

 

This card would also be good as a Sympathy card.  I love the Paper Doily Sizzlits, it is a must have!  The doilies would also be awesome on scrapbook pages.

Full of Life



Birthday Anyone?

 

This card was all from a desire to use Tangerine Tango and Tempting Turquoise together.  One thing I have a problem with is the Paper Doily Sizzlits, half of the Card Stock usually comes out not cut completely.  To fix this problem you need to make it tighter, so I added a piece of card stock to the outside of the sandwich.

The Simple things in life

 

Making cards for me is a great stress reliever!  The Last 6 months have been some of the worst of my life and my Mother heart has been torn, crushed, and several other descriptive words!  The wonderful thing about making cards is you don't think about anything when you are creating except, what color, what stamp set, you know what I mean.  There is just something so satisfying about a finished creation!

 

Supplies for this card:

 

Mixed Bunch Stamp Set

Sizzilets Paper Doily

Full of Life (not available any more)

Real Red Ribbon

Buttons and Rhinstone

Island Indigo

 

 

So Much to be thankful for today!!!  For one the Sun is out, and spring will be right around the corner!

For this card I want to highlight the background card stock, Island Indigo, it is one of the, 2011-2013 in color's.  I don't know why I have never used it before now but now that I am I love it!!  So far I just have the card stock, so I will have to order the ink before June.  Saying that, brings me to, how I stamped the background without the Island Indigo ink.  Well I used my favorite ink, Versa Mark!

 

 

Not only can you emboss with Versa Mark but it leaves a watermark on any colored card stock.
