From the Heart for OWH

Hi all, this is  another card to add for Operation Write Home. The cardstock was given to the design team at Paper Temptress.   The base for this card is Safari Brown Skinny Columns.  The image is stamped on Cryogen and colored with copic markers. The swirly background paper is Hamby Screen Print.  You can get this in a 6x6 package .  The link to the package that contains this Screen Printer is here.  The pretty orange accent is Butternut Treasures.

I did add some pearl accent to the flowers.

OWH Thinking of you

This is a rather simple card, but I love the look.  I just love embossing folders.  I left a small area
 unembossed so that I could put my sentiment there.

Make it Monday #157 and Totally Gorjuss #200

This is a layered card that I made a little while ago.  I have a large stamp from Hero of the wheat.   I love using this stamp and then taking a Spellbinders die and cutting a hole for my main image.  The challenge at Totally Gorjuss this week is anything goes.  Also want to enter this card at Make it Monday.

Make it Monday #156

Trying to get back to posting after vacation.  We were in New York last week.  Oh my did we see some great scenery.  We visited 4 waterfalls. My cousins granddaughter loves bugs so I made this card to send to her.  The background is a technique from Technique Junkies called Distressed Rainbow Strips.  I added Pearlex to the bugs to give them shimmer.  Thought this would work for Make it Monday.

Make it Monday #154

 
This is a card that I did for Paper Temptress recently.  This  card uses some of the Solar White Skinny Columns .  What better way to accent the columns than to stamp a stripe on it?  This stamp is called Circles and Lines from Penny Black.  I highlighted the dots with stickles.  The column piece was layered on Epic Black to make it pop. The flowers were stamped on Vintage Silver Lustre which also has a slight line pattern to it.  I stamped the flowers with a variegated stamp pad because I wanted a lot of color in this card.  This stamp set is from Stampin' Up  and is called Flower Shop.  It also has a matching punch. This works for my Make it Monday entry this week.

Make it Monday #153


I am not one to typically use bright colors , but this card just came together.  I used a technique from Technique Junkies called Flocked Lines.  The idea is to take a stamped image that has bold lines to it and add flocking to the bold lines.  Thought this would work for my entry at Make It Monday this week

Make it Monday #152

This is a card I made a while back.  I don't use designer paper very often, but it worked with this card.  The background paper with the writing is vellum.  I just love this stamp and the saying.  The stamp is from DRS Designs.  Thought I could use this for Make it Monday.
