3 Crosses Easter Card

We'll be in PA tomorrow celebrating Easter with our families. So I've posted this last Easter card today. This stamp is by Stamp a Mania. Before stamping, the paper was brayered with a Kalidacolor multicolored pad. Then the image was stamped with a black dye ink. Simple, but turned out well. Hope you get a chance to enjoy an Easter service somewhere. It's my favorite day of the year.

Shadow Stamp Egg Card

Made an egg card today with the use of an oval shadow stamp. The stamp is a solid rubber stamp in the shape of an oval which was rubbed across a small multi colored purple pad. (Actually half of it was draged over the stamp pad, then the stamp was turned and dragged over it again so the light colors would be in the middle of the oval) Then it was stamped onto white glossy paper. A Penny Black saying was then stamped in black over the oval. Then it was layered up, and a piece of ribbon was knoted and attached with some white glue. A nice, quick card.

Inchies Card

Sent this card to a friend who loves fall. These one inch squares are specifically made for inchies and are slightly thicker than card stock. Inkadinkado has set of stamps that are designed for inchies and one of them is about leaves and trees. I used one stamp from that set and inked it with a Kalidacolor multicolored pad. The squares are glued onto card stock and then layered onto another color, then added to the card. The stamp in the corner was stamped with a Versafine Sepia. It is a stamp by Eureka and is a two part stamp all on one piece of wood. That way you can put one part on the front and the last part inside. The inside message says "I think of you with thanks"

Hawaii shirts

Here it is August. Thought I'd post some summer cards before the summer is gone. This card was done by stamping the image over a multi colored ink pad and then stamping onto glossy white paper. Then it was cut out. The drink at the bottom was stamped on poly-shrink and colored in. It was then heated and reduced in size by 30%. The color intenisfies as it shrinks. The shirt is by Savvy stamps, drink by American Art Stamps, and the words by Amuse.
