A Homely Card

Hi luckily I made this card yesterday to share because today I am back in bed with this dang back! While cleaning my craft room and needing to actually use some of my stash , I found this metal sentiment which was perfect for this card. I paired it up a new stamp I purchased from Starving Artistamps. As you can see I decided to scribble (haven't done that in years) to color and what I didn't scribble I paper pieced. I thought the card needed some clouds and not having any, I stamped the trees a couple of times on to white stock and cut the tops off using them worked out well. The button was added to incorporate a tad bite more of color to the card.

"Home is the sweetest type of heaven" and bed in particular right about now:)

Supplies

Chick-a-dee

Hi, Today's share is just a quick dry emobssed "chick-a-dee" card with some bold colors! Some may wonder how I created the background paper for the card to match so well, If you saw my craftroom you would wonder no more! It seems like everything that makes it into that room stays in there until I find a use for it including the packaging! I used the index sheet from Lasting Impressions "Sunshine" pack. I was surpised at how well it embossed and scuffed.

Sometimes some of the best things are free.

Supplies Include

Lasting Impressions Templates S613 (egg), S811 (chick)

Lasting Impressions "Sunshine"pp & "Lemon" CS

White linen cs

chalk

Zig marker black

standard paper punch

clip

bright pink brads

I hope your day is bright and sunny.

You're Not Hallucinating!

Hello, you're not hallucinating everything is coming up mushrooms today, perhaps it's the hallucinogenic drugs I am on that caused me to create this card. This is another set from Starving Artistamps DoodleFactory "Fairy Tales" series. In the end , drug induced or not I think it is a cute card and worth sharing. I stamped a roll of mushrooms on to leather like tan cs and really didn't think the Copic Markers would work well but was surprised how well the paper absorbed the color.

I think this card would make a good get well or even a sympathy card for a guy.

Supplies:

Starving Artistamps -DoodleFactory "mushrooms"

Versafine Black ink

Copic Markers

Leather-like cs

Lasting Impressions cs

DCWV Fall Mat Stack

Square and scallop Nestabilities

Lasting Impressions "oatmeal " buttons

gold floss

Ivory ribbon

Maroon button

Thanks so much for stopping by - Enjoy your evening.

Sketch Challenge

Well, hello there! Do you remember me? I don’t blame you if you don’t… I have been away far too long and I've missed you so. My plan was to take a few days away from computer to organize and sort through my over flowing craft room when this task was put on hold. I managed to wind up flat on my back, falling down some stairs on an already fragile back, age not being on my side it knocked me out for awhile. The back is still touch and go but with the help of drugs, tolerable for short periods. Not being able to sleep last night I spotted the sketch challenge on Kathy's Blog and followed the links to get the specifics. After seeing what was up for grabs I had to give it a whirl. I just got some Starving Artistamps and was anxious to ink them so this challenge was perfect for me. The challenge can be found at 2 Sketches 4 You. This is the card I created for the challenge.

Supplies
Starving Artistamps "Sweets N Hearts", "Doegy"
Copic Markers
Versafine "Black Ink"
Clear embossing powder
Lasting Impressions paper
Basicgrey "Cupcake" paper pad

Enjoy your evening, and thanks for stopping in.

Bold Birthday Card

Just a quick share because it took me forever to get going today. I was putting some new sets away when I remembered my BIL had a Birthday coming up but quickly decided this card needed a scallop edging which isn't quite suitable for a guy! The black polka dot paper is actually from a set of 4 coasters that I picked up in the $ bin at Joann's. I peeled it off and had plenty from one coaster to create this card. The polka dot paper paired up with the turquoise is a match made in heaven!

Supplies include :

SU "Big Birthday Candle"

DCWV scallop card (cut and reassembled)

Scribbles shiny black

Zig Marker

Ribbon

Black and white cs

Glitter glue

Copic Markers
