Very Versailles and Free as a Bird for As You See It #231

Happy Friday. Where has this week gone? It's been another one of those weeks with long work days that just run into each other! I am hoping to get into my crafting cave this weekend to recover some of my equilibrium! I have a card for you using the Stampin' Up! sets Very Versailles and Free as a Bird. Another two sets that will stay with me long after they have retired! I was inspired to use them because of the sketch across at As You See It It's a really unusual layout and I decided to use a background... Read more →

Seas the Day for Case this Sketch

Happy Monday. I did get into my crafting cave yesterday and managed to make a couple of cards. Tonight's card uses one of my old favorite sets - Seas the Day from Hero Arts.

Whisky Business for Color Throwdown 604 and it's blooper night!

Happy Saturday. I have a card I made for one of our besties to share with you tonight. I made it using some vellum, card stock and the fabulous masculine set from Stampin' Up! called Whiskey Business. The colors across at Color Throwdown were just about perfect. I stamped the whisky bottle and glass onto opaque vellum with StazOn. I left it for a few minutes to make sure it was dry and then I colored it from the back with my Copics. Because the vellum is opaque, it took a slightly colder color than I had anticipated, so I... Read more →
