Out With the New and in With the Old #9

 I am really enjoying using my old wooden stamps! It seems like I am using something new since I haven't used my wooden stamps in ages. The flowers were stamped directly onto the patterned paper. I used an old technique where I tapped some inks onto the stamps, spritzed them with water and then stamped. I stamped the jar onto a piece of acetate, fussy cut it and adhered it to the card.

Using the Wreath Maker

Hi and welcome to my blog! I pulled out a tool that I have not used in awhile. Do you remember the Wreath Maker? I had to find instructions on how to use it since I have not used it in a very long time. It was fun playing with it again and I had forgotten how easy it is to use. This is the card I made using the wreath that I formed.

Out With the New and in With the Old #8

 Using my old wooden stamps has been fun. It seems like I am using something new because I hardly use these wooden stamps. Today I used an old hot air balloon stamp to make a male card. The background was made by randomly applying water colors across the card. Then I used some polymer stamps to lightly stamp over it. I dry embossed the right side of the card with a striped embossing folder for more interest. The arrows are some dimensional stickers.

I am entering this card into the As You Like It Challenge. The challenge is simple or fussy. I have a hard time doing simple cards because I love doing techniques and I love to fill up the empty space. So this card is fussy as most of mine are.

I used a Martha Stewart corner and border punch to make the frame on this card. I have not used these in quite awhile. I love how they make a neat frame. The balloons are also from using a punch.
