Cards and paper fun: August 2014

Wondrous

Hi there,

I'm finally back from vacation! I'm playing today over at Unity Friday Friends with Flair at the Unity blog . I've had this little image colored up for a while so decided to use it today. It's called Wondrous its an itty bitty love these! from Angie Blom. Love her great girl images!! I used an embossing folder technique from Jennifer McGuire Ink . I subscribe to her e-mails and she always has great ink techniques. I applied the lighter color the pink to the embossing folder raised areas first and ran it through on a white piece of card stock, then took it out and rubbed the red on the rest. Let that dry completly. Easy. I have been trying to use my embossing folders more. Quite fun! Added some stickles and Perfect Pearls. Done. It could probably be used as a Christmas card with the red and green color scheme.

Hello Friend

Happy Monday! It's time again for more stamping inspiration using Prickley Pear Stamps. No coloring on this one today. I decided to use this paper that has roses on it and added these cute little rose stamps on the printed DP. I love using wood looking paper as well. I stamped the circle and cut it in half and colored a tiny bit on it. (oops did I say I didn't color). Fit for a friend indeed! Stop by thePrickley Pear Blog and see what the team has been up to!

Hello Friend

Hi there,

It's time for some inspiration using Prickley Pear Stamps . Today I chose to do a mostly black and white card with just a hint of color. The inspiration is this cute Starburst Daisy stamp embossed with black embossing powder and 3 colors pink, yellow and orange. I found this embossing folder that matched my paper at Joann's its a Cuttlebug. I love this sentiment, its embossed as well. Stop by the Prickley Pear Blog and see what the team has for you this week. There will be a blog hop for the new fall release stamps in a few weeks. I will tell you more about that next week so stay tuned!

Grow In Grace

Hello there,

It's Inspiration Monday for Prickley Pear Stamps and I tried a new technique for me with texture paste. I really love this stuff! I used a stencil from Memory Box called texture Mesh. The dimentional paste I used is from Deco Arts. When it's dry its very flexible so it won't crack. It does take a while to dry though about 4 hrs. So you have to plan out your project. I colored it with distress inks.

If Friends Were Flowers

Happy Friday,

I'm playing over at Unity today with a card and a fun technique I saw over at SCS and a tutorial from GirlGeekLovesStampin on Utube. It's stamping on embossing folders using ink and Glimmer mist as water! Ever tried this. It's so fun. I used Unity's KOM for March called Reason Someone Smiles. I just love their stamps!! DP is Bazzill Miss Tegan Sue, add a few sequins from Pretty Pink Posh and twine. I love the watercolor affect this has.
