Resist technique!

I thought it was time to do some cards!

I still need to journal today because I am GRUMPY, oh my!!

Journaling seems to bring me peace but I am not even sure if I can go there today!

I do have reasons to be grumpy but I won't go into all the details but

those that have teenagers probably understand.

Lets just say I am counting down the days, lol!

I really don't get the parents that are all sad when their kids leave home;

it is a time to celebrate!!

The best part of parenting is the grand kids!

My grandson is sooooooo sweet and when he does something wrong it just makes me laugh!

Here he is in his Easter Outfit; isn't he the sweetest thing ever?

Okay I am feeling less grumpy now.

Back to the cards:

For these cards I stamped the image with Versa Mark,

then embossed the image with clear embossing powder.

Then I just smeared color, until I had the look I liked.

In this card I used Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive.

In the other two cards I used Tangerine Tango and Pumpkin Pie.

I also sprayed the card with, Gold Smooch Spritz.

 

 

Good bye Christmas Cards!

So fun to stamp something other than Christmas. I love doing Christmas cards but after 40 to 50, I am ready to move on.
I bought this stamp set in November and this is the first time using it. For this card I brayed Soft sky first that I brayered Baja Breezes on the lover half and then used a sponge around the edges. I then sponged a little more with Not Quite navy. The grass is stamped with Not Quite Navy. The stamp set is Inspired by Nature.

Merry Christmas

One last card before Christmas! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, full of the love of Jesus!

Christmas Cards!

Well, it has been a long time since I posted. I made 7 calendars for Christmas presents, this took about one month. Everybody loves getting them and I think it is one of those things that once you start you can never stop.
Anyways here is the main Christmas cards that I did this year. This is a combination of several different cards that I saw on Splitcoaststampers.com.
I cut the oval with my coluzzle cutting system. I stamped the skaters and then colored them in with my versa marker, and then clear embossed them.

I used the brayer to create the mirror image. Sorry I am really bad at doing tutorials they require a lot of time and I admire those who take the time one of my favorite blogs is Zindorf, There is a link under my fav. blogs.

On Angel wings

I love this set! I think I am hooked on the resist tech. I find that it is better to stamp the Angel in Versamark then the black, then emboss with clear. If you miss this step when you go over the image with the versa marker the black tends to blead. the first color that I rubbed on was soft sky, then pacific point and then night of navy around the edges.

The flight of the butterfly

This is my first attempt with this set. I wanted to do a card with no layering or ribbon. I started with white CS then I embossed with crystal clear. I then rubbed streaks of pink pirouette and pretty in pink across the CS. I punch two holes with my circle punches and then stamped some images with Chocolate chip.

Tea anyone!

I have to be honest, I bought the tea because I loved the design and thought it would make a great card.

I love the new SU colors! I used Tangerine tango and pacific point on this card. I first stamped, with versamark on the white CS then embossed with crystal effects. Then I rubbed river rock with a sponge over the whole card. Then I rubbed Tangerine Tango along the bottom.

I made this card using the "Zindorf technique" I know she didn't create the technique but she sure has inspired me with amazing detailed posts. Check out her blog, it is a must, there is a link in the bottom right corner.

Stamp set: winter post
colors: sky blue, Not quite navy and SU markers.
Accessories: Big shot and snowflake die, also versa marker and crystal clear embossing powder. I also used the versa marker here and there on the snow and then sprinkled with iridescent ice. The snow flakes also have iridescent ice on them as well.
