Rainy Day

We've had such miserable weather here in the Maritimes I've been spending a little more time in my craft room getting caught up on a few cards that I have to get out soon . Today I want to share a card I made for a close friend that is feeling a little down these days . I thought  these cute boots (Penny Black) would cheer her up . Using a raindrop stencil(That's Crafty) I sponged with Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder . I then sponged over with Distressed Oxide Ink in Broken China and sprtized with water .I colored the rubber boots with Copic markers and added Glossy Accents to the flowers and dots for dimension then fussy cut them out. The Umbrella is cut from Cricut cartridge A Childs Year. Sentiment is SU stamped on Spellbinders Label and popped up.

Hello

Today I'm sharing a card I made using the eclipse tech . Have seem so many on Pinterest so just had to try  it . Started with white cardstock and using my newly purchased Distressed oxide inks I blended spun sugar , broken china ,fossilized amber and a touch of wilted violet . Love How colors blended so nicely . Then stamped one of Just Rite Florals from the set Black-eyed Susan in each corner and colored with my also NEW Chameleon markers. Next I positioned my Hello die from Quietfire in the center and ran it through my Big Kick . I then cut another Hello from c/s and layered them together ,then popped the hello back on the card with 3D mounting tape. Tiny pieces of the flowers can be seen on the Hello which is so cool . To finish I attached to black c/s ,added a border and butterfly and then attached to my card. Hope you like it and will give this tech a try.

Just wanted to share a Valentine card I made for my sister . Paper is by Authentique Love collection ,Tim Holtz weathered clock, CLD heart die .The sentiment is from the strip on the bottom of the Authentique paper . I sponged the clock with DI in Spun sugar and Victorian Lace then spritized with Distressed Mica spray tarnished brass. I like how it changed the color a bit and gave such a nice shimmer.

Well good morning bloggers it's been way too long since I've posted anything on my blog I hardly know how to post anymore. But today I decided was a good day to start again . I have been making lots of cards but not getting the time to sit and post . Over the weekend I was browsing through some of my Sizzix dies and came across this Bird with Leaves and Flowers die so decided to make a card with it . The weather has been so cold and so much snow around thought this might cheer everyone up a bit . I stamped a flourish image from Fancy Pants Pollen Dust set ( another older set of stamps ) in opposite corners to show through the Mixed Media die Christmas on my card base, stamped and embossed another flourish diagonally in the center of my blue layer . The bird cage was cut with grey core cardstock and distressed to show the white core. I sponged some mustard seed DI and Tumbled Glass DI on white c/s ,stamped script and then cut out my bird . The music is MB and the sentiment is by Dyan Reaverey which I cut apart . To finished off I added black gems and MS lace border to the cage as well as a tiny key and ribbon .
