SCC week 3





Hi everyone!! Well it's week three already! Wow this has been really fun. I enjoy all the videos I love learning new techniques!! Jennifer and Kristina are so talented and I enjoy seeing what they come up with :) Here are my two cards:
For this card I used a digi image Poppies. I colored with my copics and then die cut it with my spellbinders circle die. I used distress ink in the center ( ink antique linen). The stamps used for the background come from papertrey ink it is the Mehndi Medallion LOVE it!! This was my first time using it and I really like the doily look. I used Versa color scarlet for the larger image and the medium image I used archival moonlight white ink and the really small stamp I used inkadinkado in coffee bean. I punched out a dragonfly and my sentiment is also a digi stamp.

This card has the same background. I used a MS stamp for the flower and I used her color ink too. My little bird is from Maya Road. My sentiment again is a digi. 




 Thanks for stopping in!!

SCC week 2 encore!

Well I just knew I would have to break down and make a second card. I just love how this card turned out.
My image is a digi stamp from Whimsy Stamps called Beach Baby Jayme. I colored her with my copic markers, and  for the grass I used a MS stamp with distress ink peeled paint. On the umbrella I used my embossing pen and some clear embossing powder from ranger. Not sure if you can see that in my picture. I used a cuttle bug die for my background and used distress ink spiced marmalade to color. I added some ribbon and a ribbon rose with a pearl in the center.
As always thanks for stopping by :)

I just love seeing all the work from all the students in the class and let me tell you there are many. I just looked and there are over 300 cards posted Yowsa.......that's a lot of cards. Wow what talent!! We have been given our color pallet for this week and I actually made two cards. Thanks for stopping by!
On this card I stamped my image with rasberry fizz from http://www.papertreyink.com/ and colored with copic markers regular and glitter pens. I used my scallop edge die.

On this card I used flower fusion dies from papertrey ink and also the picket fence die. I used my M.S. punch on the edge. I sewed the card stock onto the card using the zigzag stich.

Fathers Day Cards

I know just what your thinking!! FATHER'S DAY we haven't had Mother's day yet! Well I made these cards for OWH. I received an email that said they needed more Father's Day cards, so I have been working away at them. I have twelve made now and I plan on adding more to that!! I hope to work on them this weekend since I need to send them out soon. So I took some pictures and thought I would post them today. Btw these are digi stamps and makes it so much faster to make cards!!






Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day!! :)
