Today



Tonight I"ve been playing with the new Unity stamps I purchased at THE SCRAP and SHOP this week . I wanted a 3D effect so I stamped the tree then the image (Tim Holtz stamp ) over the tree since it's solid stamp it gave the effect of the man staying in front of the tree. I really like how this turned out .

Tuesday Taggers;Get messy hands



My friend Sharon sent me some images recently which I just love reminds me of my childhood days running through the grass. The images were embossed so all I had to do was brayer a BG with my spectrum pad added a butterfly cut with spellbinders die out of vellum and layered to create a 3D effect. Border was done with MS punch and added some ribbon and pearls . Oh I forgot the card base BG was done with spellbinders Impressabilities and sanded lightly.
