Happy Sunday to you!

Our sponsor this week is Ribbon Carousel!

Here's my card:

LOVE the softness of this one! I used a fun color blocking technique to highlight the pretty pinks and the floral details! Very simple, but very pretty, too!

Happy Friday, folks!

I'm here with a fun card I made for the Market Street Stamps blog!

I am LOVING these new sets from Kim Geiser! SO funky and FUN!

 

For this one, I started off with a small rectangle of white cardstock. I cut a circle out of white copy paper and attached the negative to the cardstock with repositional tape. Then, I blended Distress Ink (Frayed Burlap and Pumice Stone) inside the circle to create this fun "moon" effect.

I stamped the branch from Woodland over the moon and colored it with Copics. Then I added that swete little owl! Isn't he so cute?! I stamped the frame, cut it out with my craft knife and adhered it with foam tape.

I thought it would be cool to hang the little scene from a "clothesline"- I really like the look of it!

Here's a closeup of that sweet owl:

CAS-ual Fridays 57: Clear as day

Hi!

Happy Father's Day to the very few men that visit my blog! HAHA!

And happy "do everything for your husband/father day" to all the ladies! 

I'm here with my card for the challenge from 

CAS-ual Fridays!

This week you have to use acetate or vellum on your projects! FUN!

Our sponsor this week is our very own Karolyn!

:

She has designed 6 beautiful stamp sets for Paper Smooches and she's offering up ALL OF THEM to our winner this week! 

Here's my card:

I LOVE using vellum (and acetate) to layer different background and image elements. I started by stamping the grid pattern on a sheet of bright blue paper. Then, I heat embossed these polka dots on a sheet of vellum. I layered the vellum over the blue sheet and got this beautiful pale blue color and a really fun background pattern! I cut a quick frame out of black cardstock to hide the adhesive I used to attach the vellum!
