Love a good Book Card

A very simple card today, but a winner with any book lover. The printed papers were layered up, and the quote was stamped with a Distressed Gray pad. A little bit of Tea Dye Distress ink was also sponged around the quote. Looks good, and is quick and easy. The quote is from Impression Obsession from a clear set.

One of the joys of being at the beach is reading a good book while sitting by the sea. Hare and I have had a great week here which has included several books. We're on our way back home now, so I hope you'll stop in the store this week and say hi to us and admire our tans. :-)

Impression Obsession Blue Crab

Here's a nice easy card. The image is by Impression Obsession and is stamped in Color Box Chalk "Colonial Blue" on a white paper. Add embellishments and you are done. So how do you send a card like this through the mail? Carefully! Lots of bubble wrap or a padded envelope. It also helps to cover a fragile embellisment like a shell with Diamond glaze to help give it strength.

Flower Soft Window

Had a class last week with Flower Soft. All the cards used window stamps from Impression Obsession. This is one of the windows we did in that class. It's not a hard card, but not a fast easy one either. Part of the reason for that was because we had lots of cutting and postioning to do on this card. The glass part just seemed to call for acetate and then we had to stamp and position it on the card. The Flower Soft here was added to paper covered wires. This enabled us to add dimension at a new level. The wires can be bent(once the Flower Soft is dry). We colored the flowers behind with Copics. Ultrafine Flower Soft was added under the wire flowers.
