Just Us Girls Color Challenge

The colors for the challenge at Just Us Girls was red, white and blue.  The card I made is for a swap on one of my Yahoo groups.  The background paper was made with tissue paper, dimensional  paint and acrylic paint.  You put the design on the tissue paper with the dimensional paint, then you apply some of the acrylic paint and spread it across with an old credit card.  I was sort of amazed at how this worked.

The challenge at Techno Stamper-Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge was to use the sketch.  Here is what I came up with

CFC #56

The challenge at CAS-ual Friday this week was to do a project using polka dots.  I decided to use a technique in the new Techniques Junkies newsletter called Circle colored Collage. 

Scrap it with Song

The theme at Scrap it with Song is "My Wish"by Rascall Flatts.  This is my father's day card for my father-in-law and the wish is that he would know we are thinking of him on Father's Day.

Totally Gorjuss #135

The theme at Totally Gorjuss this week is Sunshine.  When I think of Sunshine I think of flowers.  This is a new stamp that my sister gave me for my birthday.  I recently got the Tim Holtz markers and thought this would be a perfect project to try them on.  They are a dream to work with. 

Make it Monday #93

I tried something new for this post. I am not a fantastic photographer, but love taking pictures. Recently my passion has been at several botanical gardens. One was in St Louis and the other Dallas. In one of my cardmaking magazines lately they printed on a linen cardstock so I had to try it. This picture was printed on Baronial Ivory Linen. Love the richness of the colors and the finish of the cardstock almost looks like canvas. The photograph is highlighted with Serpentine Mica/ Metallic. I also added a little texture with the wonderful dark green that is Greenbier Felt Grandee. The sentiment is stamped on a scrap of the Baronial Ivory Linen. The base card is Neenah Super Smooth Ivory. Would love to know what you think. This was my post for the Paper Temptress this week.  Posting this for the weekly entry at Make It Monday

Make it Monday #92

Well it is Monday again and time for another entry for Make it Monday. I was working at a local stamp and gift store this past weekend and here is one of the samples I made for the shop.  This card actually is a single layer and has a stand like a picture on the back.  The image was colored with colored pencils.
