River City Card

Love this stamp and saying.  Sometimes "get well" isn't what you want or need to say to someone going through an illness or trying situation.  It also stamps out to make a simple yet lovely card.
All I did was stamp the image and words in "Paris Dusk" blue onto white paper and mount it onto a card.  Nice.

Dyan Reavely's Paints

Have I mentioned how much I love Dyan's paints?  Just a few times, I know.  Here is another one of the pages I did from my demo of her paints.  There are several stencils used with the paints done over the stencil.  I love how you can get a such dimensional effects depending how  intensely you apply the paint.  So much fun!

Thank you card

Sometimes amidst the hurry and hustle of life, I like to go to my scrap pile and just bang out some quick cards.  When just using paper I don't have to think too much and can concentrate on the design of the card.  This is one of the those cards.  Never can have too many "thank you" cards in my stash!

City Grid

Here is the Art Journal entry we did this month from class.  We started with maps that were adhered to the pages and then gessoed over them.  Next, a Crafter's Workshop City grid was put down and embossing paste placed over it.  It was actually used in three spots.  Once it was dry, Distress reinkers were dripped over the page after being sprayed with water.  A few embellishments were added along with some stamped images.

On a happy side note, I've been mentioning all the computer woes I've been dealing with which is why I haven't been posting as much.  Good news is that I think I've found a new way around my problem!  Hope to be back to posting more often.

MFT Flower set and Die

Here is a variation on a card I recently posted.  The other card used only the stamp set.  This card uses on overlaying die for the flower heads.  The die used a color just slightly lighter than the inked stamped image.  There is also another die so the whole flower can be die cut.  So many options!

Dyan's Paint demo

Enjoyed doing the demo on Dyan's paints on Saturday at Angela's Happy Stamper.  The time just flew by!  Had an enthusiastic group who cheered me on.  Here are a couple of the pages done with the paints and stencils.  Love these paints.  They are wonderful colors that make you want to play with them!

My Favorite Things Flower set

April showers brings May flowers!  Been enjoying this set by MFT.  There are two die sets that go with these flowers.  So many options for making cards!  Just in this stamp set are the solid stamps and then outline stamps for all the images.  On this card I opted to just add the outlines to the flower heads.  This is the card we are doing today as a free MITI at Angela's Happy Stamper store.  Come join the fun!
