Have a Very Mice Day!

Happy April Fool's Day! I hope you won't get fooled too much today. I want to share a card I made using acetate. I always love to see cards made with acetate but I have not made many myself. I enjoyed very much making this card! Here is the card when it is closed.

I embossed the acetate using a Sizzix frame embossing folder. I stamped the mouse image onto white card stock and cut him out using the Gina Marie stitched circle die. The mouse was colored using Spectrum Noir markers. I added Sparkle translucent embossing powder ( courtesy of Sparkle N Sprinkle ) on the pink flower. The lace corners are from Cheery Lynn and the butterflies are from Tim Holtz's Butterfly Frenzy die.

Here is the card slightly opened so that you can see the acetate front better.

This is the inside of the card. I used light teal card stock and placed a sea grass stencil from Tattered Angels over it and sprayed Dragonfly Glimmer Mist over it. The saying I had was long, but I needed to fit it on the circle, so I inked the saying half way and stamped it on top and then inked the stamped on the other half of the saying and stamped it underneath.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a very MICE day! LOL!

Christmas Tag

Hi Everyone! I know many of us are scrambling around getting Christmas things done. The outside of my house has decorations, but we still need to get out the Christmas tree. I went shopping today at our annual Holiday Fair and boy that will put you in the holiday spirit! I came home with a trunk full of items! I want to share a Christmas tag I made yesterday. I used a piece of clear acetate, ran it through a snowflake embossing folder, then dabbed Picket Fence ink on the indented side of each snowflake. I let the ink dry some and then wiped the excess off and the white ink stayed in the indented areas. I added the embossed acetate piece over a blue sprayed background and stitched around the edges.

The deer is a Tim Holtz Sizzix die and the lamp post was cut using an svg cutting file. I WON an eclips 2 die cutter a few months back! What a fun surprise! I have really enjoyed using it so far. The snowflake is a foam sticker that I added Stickle's glitter to.

To the bottom I added Moon Rise Glitter Tinsel from Sparkle N Sprinkle! Don't you just love the shimmer? 

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season!

Boo to You!

Hi Everyone! It is a beautiful, cool Fall day here today. A perfect day to show you the Halloween tag I made for Tim Holt's October tag challenge!  I bought these cute little birds awhile back and had not found the perfect time to use them until now. I had so much fun making this tag. You can view Tim's demo here.

For the background I used Tim Holtz's spider web mask and spread white matte paste over it to give dimension. I then sprayed over it using yellow, orange and purple colors. 

The letters were aqua glittered so I altered them by using an orange Sharpie marker to color over them.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!

Stencil Play

Hi Everyone! I hope you are having a good day. It is beautiful here, sunny and warm. I want to show you a card I made using stencils. I enjoy playing with them. There are so many mediums that can be used with them. My background for this card was made using a butterfly, fern and swirl stencil. I used spray inks in eggplant, teal and aqua colors.

Underneath the background I used a pale pink embossed panel and added jewels. I cut 2 slits on the hat and ran ribbon through for the hat's band. 

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!
