Pretty In Pink

At Sparkle N Sprinkle this week the contest is to make a card for a remarkable woman in your life. There are several, so I thought of them for Mother's Day and made this card. I used the Sparkle N Sprinkle rose and saying  from  My Rose Garden set. I stamped the rose twice in white and embossed with white embossing powder. I colored the roses with inks and a water brush. I cut up one of the roses to layer on top of the other to give dimension. I used a Sizzix rose frame die, a heart Nellie's die and a Quik Kutz frame die that I cut apart to make the swirls. You can see the challenge here http://sparklensprinkle.com/blog/   May you have a blessed day.

Art Lenz Cards

Yesterday my local stamp club had a wonderful time in an Art Lenz class. We made three great cards using their special Art Lenz that make your stamp images look 3-D and pop in and out.  This technique is unique and fun. You can check out their site here and see instructions on how to use their products. http://www.artlenz.com/Examples/index.html.  Here are the three cards I made. I really enjoyed learning how to do these. These pictures don't do the Art lenz justice, but I hope you can see a little of what the lenz does.Thanks to Gail for all her hard work in getting all the products to us and teaching us such a fun technique!

Simon Says Show a Word

We have a beautiful , sunny , warm day today! I will need to get outside for awhile. I hope you are having a good day! At Simon Says Stamp the challenge this week is Show a Word. The word I chose was Mother since Mother's Day is not too far away. I used the beautiful DCWV paper for my background. The lady stamp is from   Inkadinkado. I added a rose flower to embellish her hat. I used Rubber Stamp Tapestry stamps to stamp around the word "Mother". The red frame was made by using a Martha Stewart border punch.

Who's Got the Button?

It's a new week at Cuttlebug Spot and the new challenge is buttons, buttons everywhere. Mother's Day is a ways away, but this challenge lent itself to Mother's Day so I made a Mother's Day card. I went wild with the cuttlebug paisley folder and used it on the base card, the blue paper and the tag! The tag is also a cuttlebug die. I really enjoyed this challenge and looking through all my pretty buttons! You can see the challenge by clicking here -- http://thecuttlebugspot.blogspot.com/

Pink and Green

Hi! I hope you are having a good day. It is warm and windy here today. I am glad Spring is here! I am entering this card in two challenges -- Joan's Garden and Cat's Pajamas. This cute poodle is from Cat's Pajamas. I love using him. I used pink glitter for his fur. Pink and green are the colors we need to use for Joan"s Garden challenge. They are so pretty for Spring.

Friends are Stars

Hi! I hope your day is going well. It is much better here today. Yesterday was very cold and rainy, but sunny,dry and much warmer today! I have just finished a challenge for Simon Says and the theme is Stars. I had this cute image of friends and YES, friends are stars. I have many wonderful "stars" in my life! I tapped alcohol inks on the 2 stars in the corner to age them more to go with my card. You can see the challenge by clicking here
