Artistic Etchings for Freshly Made

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend. Me... its been a little more uneventful that the last three weeks.... and I am very thankful for that. In fact, I actually managed to get two cards made today. Not a whole lot of cards... but two more than I have made in the last three weeks! It was good to get into my crafting space and just switch off for a little while. I saw the sketch across at Freshly Made Sketches and decided I'd like to play along. It's a really interesting sketch and... Read more →

PP82 - Thank you

Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the turn of the fabulous Nance to host the Paper Players challenge this week and she has a wonderful color challenge for us all. If you weren't feeling summery before now, these colors will certainly take you there - mentally at least :-) After all that has been going on the past two weeks, I really NEEDED a thank you card. So, I decided to take these colors and create one! I knew that I wanted to do a repetition of thank you, but decided to do it in multiple languages instead. I used the... Read more →

A little work of art

Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday. I have a card to share with you tonight that I absolutely love. In the class with Jennifer McQuire, she used this stamp with the embossed resist card.

It gives such a unique texture to the card. I also love the colors. If you haven't tried stamping on canvas - I really would recommend it! Here's my take on Jennifer's... Read more →

Thinking of you

Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. As y'all know, I haven't had much chance to make cards these past couple of weeks. I did, however, find a couple in my stash that I had not shared with you. Tonight's card was made using a version of the embossed resist technique. The difference here is that the image is mostly embossed, with only a few areas where the embossing does not cover the entire card. These small negative spaces make for wonderful areas to add just a touch of color and I had great fun choosing some colors to go over this fabulous... Read more →

PP81 - Say it with Flowers!

Hi Everyone Nance has a great challenge for us this week... pity it took me so long to get a card done! I decided to open up my MDS and First Edition - one of my go to MDS sets it seems. I needed a sketch. So, I looked at Anne Marie's Sketch from the Paper Players challenge last week and decided to do a play on that. I loved coloring this image with Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz and a little Rose Red. All that I needed was a fabulous sentiment. I decided to actually emboss the sentiment in silver... Read more →
