Magnolias

I just love this digi image from Just Inklined!  You can get this image, along with lots of others by donating to Help For Katie on Jak Heath's blog.  http://www.jakheath.com/2011/01/help-for-katie.html

The image was printed on white cardstock, colored with Prismacolor pencils and Turpenoid and cut out. I used a long ovals Nestie to cut the aperture in the card and glued the image on. The sentiment is stamped on the inside of the card.

Another CASE card

 This is the CASE card I did for CASE  THIS on Card Camp.

The image is a digital image that I printed twice, once onto cardstock and once onto regular copy paper for a mask. I masked the image and used a script background stamp and Memento London Fog ink. The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils and Turpenoid.

Here Chicky, chicky

This cute image was a digital freebie but I don't remember where it is from. I am pretty sure I got it from a list of freebies that are posted on the Free Digital Stamps blog every day. I was beginning to think that this card was not meant to be after I put it together upside down! Fortunately I was able to remove the green checkered panel and the image panel without any damage and re-make it.

After coloring the image I used a .005 Micron pen to make little marks around the wings to look like blanket stitch and then a .03 Micron pen for the faux stitching around the panels.

Clematis

I love Clematis but unfortunately it gets to hot in South Texas to grow them but when I saw this stamp I had to have it!The stamp is Clematis Spray  from Hearfelt Creations. I bought the un-mounted version, put Aleene's Tack It Over and Over on the back and use it with an acrylic block. Buying un-mounted stamps is less expensive and they are easier to store!

The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils and Turpenoid. For some depth I stamped the greeting onto the card and onto a piece of scrap. I cut out the word WISHES, added dimensional tape and placed it over the original.

CASE

In my Yahoo group, Card Camp, we have one day a week where a card is chosen and we CASE it. It is just for fun and members have come up with some great cards!

                                           

This is the first card I did which is quite similar to the card I CASE ed. The image was stamped on a piece of scrap DP and colored with pencils and Turpenoid.

For the second card I did I used all scraps! The vertical strip was cut from a tag from a pack of Basic Grey DP and the hearts were punched from the same tag.The greeting is an unmounted stamp that I got in a bulk buy and the tiny hearts were also cut from the tag.

More Sweet Peas

Here I am again with a big gap in my blogging. I have been trying to re-organize my craft room but some of the things I ordered to accomplish this are held up in the mail, by the weather I assume, which has resulted in a big mess in my craft room and nowhere to work!

 I did manage to make a space to make this card. The image is the second one on the sheet from Flourishes.The image was stamped and then colored with Prismacolor pencils and Turpenoid and then I used  EH 1840 Mattie Fall D stencil to do the embossing.

Stolen Ideas

I received a lovely birthday card from one of the ladies on Card Camp. This is the card Kris sent me.

I loved the idea of the double butterflies with vellum over cardstock. I needed a quick gift for an after holiday party today and decided to make a set of thank you cards.....something fairly quick and easy. The card from Kris gave me inspiration. For my butterflies I used a piece of vellum from my scrap drawer that had already been cuttlebugged.
