Thinking of you...

Hi again! I figured I would share another simple card that I made! 

I used a MFT stencil "Moroccan Tiles" and blended some spun sugar and worn lipstick TH distress ink for the background. I cut a banner shape out of vellum and used a stamp set from the SSS February card kit (which came today!) the stamp set is called Thinking of You and the sentiment comes in a long strip so I masked off the 'of you' and stamped the 'thinking' with versamark and then did the same for the rest of the sentiment. I added some blushing pink pastel using Stamp-N-Stuff embossing powder ( don't really like it) but I thought it would look pretty on the vellum tag!  

I used the new Hero Arts Butterfly and flower stamp set and die. I cut the butterfly out of vellum and then stamped the detail with versamark and added the same pink powder. I added some recollections enamel dots to the butterfly. I mounted the background on a navy blue base and then adhered that to a white card base!

This card came together quick and I love the navy, pink and vellum together! 

So, that's all for me tonight..I have to pick my son up from an event at 9 and then it's time to unwind! 

Thanks for visiting and have a great Friday night!

Birthday wishes

Hi! I signed up for a class on line...Stenciled at onlineclasses and I learned fun new techniques using my stencils and different mediums!

Today I created this birthday card!  

I  started with a stencil from MFT "stencil on the diagonal" and I taped it on a diagonal and used 5 different distress inks...spun sugar, worn lipstick, fired brick, peacock feathers and broken china. I started light on the bottom and got darker up top. I trimmed that down and added thin strips of a teal cardstock.  I used a Christmas stamp set from SSS called "Big Holiday Wishes" and I masked off the "holiday" in the stamp and stamped it on the card...then I used Basic Grey letter stickers to spell out "birthday" using a T square ruler for perfect alignment!   I added a punched heart with glossy accents and some sequins for fun! 

I will be back later or tomorrow with a few more cards! Thanks for stopping by!

Some Odd Girl Birthday!

Good morning!

I have another birthday card to share today. I made this for my niece who just turned 5...my nieces are some of my biggest fans and I love it! 

I used the same Some Odd Girl Tiny Baker Tia stamp...they are just so much fun to color!  This time around I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color her...I am new to coloring stamped images so I thought the markers would be a good starting point, but they don't blend very well and I'm not very happy with them!  I may invest in some copics sometime this year! 

Anyway...here's the card

I used a sketch from Mojo Monday so I will enter this card there!

I am also entering it in this weeks Lawnscaping "Let's Party" challenge!

I added some wink of Stella to her boots, apron and hair and then liquid glass to her eyes and the heart on her hat...that I drew in!
