BFFs

Some of my cards are inspired by places, objects and in many cases I think of a certain person. In this case I was thinking of my wonderful friend who I recently moved away from and while I was creating this card she was the inspiration. Using the masking technique I was able to put these ladies close together to create the close friends for this picture in the Polaroid frame setting. Adding a sky line really finished off the picture.

Masculine Sport Birthday

Teen boys can be a tough crowd to create cards but using fun images like skateboarders or any sport could help with a card for that group. This background came together nicely with spraying and using powders and adding some water to have them react together then putting cling wrap over the top to create the fun lines on the card base. I love the way the grunge background turned out and I am sure going to play with that again.

Happy Harvest

Heartfelt Creations is one of my favorite companies. I just love their images and love adding color to them. These applies turned out so life like once the color was added. I wanted to pick them up off the page when I was done coloring them. Adding the distress ink around them really popped them on teh card.

Enjoy the Boat

Oh how I would love another boat ride to be on the water enjoying the breeze.

Masked off the card added some blue and yellow. Added white gel pen for waves. Sponged on some clouds. Stamped the image and the sentiment. I like to add the stitching die cut to the edge to add some extra texture and focal to a card. It can be used for masculine and feminine cards.

With Love

House Mouse has some super fun images and this one is one of my favorites. The mouse on top is having a great time jumping and the other two are very content sleeping.

To keep up with the challenges on Splitcoast Stampers for Dare to get dirty I used this image again as I had it already colored in my stash. We did 42 cards in 7 days and that can be a huge challenge for any crafter.

Steampunk Boots

As crafters it can get very costly to create some of our creations. When we use foil from our kitchen we can use it to pool inks and sprays and other fun crafty supplies. Don't toss that foil, it can be used on a card and you can get some great backgrounds. This was a saved piece of foil and I ran it through the gear emboss folder then added additional red and grey to get the gears to come to life.

Coffee

Shaker cards are such fun to give to recipients and can be filled with many fun items. Creating this coffee card I decided that actual ground coffee would be really fun to fill in the shaker card. This card smells wonderful.
