Keeping it Simple

I created this card during my regularly scheduled, Saturday crafting class, which are always amazing! I will admit, I don’t think I’ve utilized this beautiful stamp set enough. While most of my other classmates were using a different flower set, I pulled this one and knew I wanted a light and soft card. With theContinue reading “Keeping it Simple”

Sunflower Easel Card

Hello, all. I’ve got another easel card here, and I’m loving it! I also love how the stamped impressions in white look beautiful on the beige cardstock. Altenew’s Dancing Sunflowers are so beautiful and big – just one takes up most of the panel. I incorporated some additional leaves and pulled out my copics toContinue reading “Sunflower Easel Card”

Flower Wreath With Die Cuts

I purchased this die set on a whim. It wasn’t something I had on my wish list, or ever took a second look at. But, I saw it and thought, ‘I can do something with that.’ As always, I was inspired by a challenge at Tic Tac Toe. I was looking at their challenge andContinue reading “Flower Wreath With Die Cuts”

I used alcohol inks for everything except the sentiment. I wanted to do the splatter/drip that I’ve done with dye inks, but while using alcohol inks. ItContinue reading “Alcohol Inks With Layering Die Set”

Die Cut Flower Ink Blending

Honestly, I think I need to rename my blog, as many of my best card panels are from challenges. ๐Ÿ˜ Altenew selected me as one of the winners of October’s challenge. ๐Ÿ˜ I struggled a bit with the background, as it just wasn’t right. I wasted about 3 other panels before I decided to useContinue reading “Die Cut Flower Ink Blending”

Easel Card – Fall Colors

Well, it’s getting cold outside, so I’ve used some fall colors for my next card…to keep with my theme, this is another card created based on a challenge. I think I do my best work when challenged. ๐Ÿ˜ This was not a hard card to make. It didn’t take me long at all. I stenciledContinue reading “Easel Card – Fall Colors”
