JRS Friday Challenge 119--Get Krafty #2

Since I had some pieces left laying on my desk I thought I'd make another card . For this one I thought that Tim's bare branch tree should meet JRS Musical Notes Labels 20. The tree was cut with corrugated cardboard and sponged with picket fence distress stain . I  stamped and embossed the birds colored with DI Iced Spruce and then cut out freehand .The sentiment was stamped and embossed with Egyptian gold EP . This was a fun card to make .

Just Rite Friday Challenge #118--Behind the Mask

Well it's time for another great challenge over at Just Rite Stamps again . This time we are to use Masking as a technique. This is what I came up with for the challenge .I stamped the verse first on a peice of white c/s then stamped it again to use as my mask ( I wanted to create a look of the verse in the center of the bouquet). I then stamped the flowers over the verse  and cut it out using the spellbinders Lacy circles die .  I then made another mask of the flowers and used to cover the image while I sponged with Tumbled Glass DI to give the image some depth. The image was the layered on English Tea Doily by CLD. The butterfly I stamped twice cut out freehand and layered. Flowers were colored with Copic Markers and Glossy Accents was applied to the flowers .To finish my card I used:
Pattern paper by Crate, Bazzille Shimmer c/s ,co-ordinations c/s
Stamps: Just Rite Stamps Black Eyed Susan Vintage Labels 5
CLD dies Lace Corners B165, English Tea Doily DL101, Spellbinders Lacy Circles, MS trellis punch, May Arts ribbon,

Tim's 12 Tags 2014 --April

Well another month has gone by and it's time to do my tag for April following Tim's tech. Again I didn't have some of the items that Tim used so had to improvise . Here's what I came up with . For my edge I used my Cricut cartridge Art Philisophy from CTMH and cut it out of Grungeboard . Flowers were made from papers from one of Tim's Paper pads with the TH Tattered Pinecone die  . I really love how they turned out . Seam Binding ribbon was inked with a mist I made from Dried Marigold . The metal tag was inked with Broken China Distress paint and then wiped off . If you want to see Tim's tag and take part in this month's challenge you can see it HERE.

Just Rite Friday Challenge #116 CAS

Just wanted to share a second card I made for this weeks challenge over at JRS. I used the stamped set Black Eyed Susan Vintage Labels Five again . This is such a wonderful stamp set and can be used for almost any occasion. Since I don't own the Spellbinder dies that coordinate with these stamps I stamped and cut out the frame freehand then attached it to a doily which just happened to be laying on my desk ( the doily is CLD Nautical Wheel). The butterfly was also stamped and colored with copic markers and cut out freehand. I added some fake stitching around the edge of the pattern paper and stamped decorative corners in gold in each corner .To finish my card I punched a border on a strip of white c/s and added some Washi tape . I really like how the Washi tape made the border pop . I placed the doily a little above the top edge of the card . This was a fun and easy card to make .

Just Rite Friday Challenge #116 CAS

Well this was sure a challenge for me to make a Clean and Simple card , usually I love to layer and add embellishments on my cards . This is what I finally came up with for this weeks challenge over at Just Rite Stamps Friday Challenge. I used TH Damask embossing folder and my new embossing Diffuser plate to make the design around the image . The image and sentiment is from Just Rite Stamps Blacked Eyed Susan Vintage Labels Five set which was inked with Onyx Versafine ink. The flowers were colored with copic markers and a little glossy accents to the center of the flowers. To finish my card I added some May Arts Organiza ribbon.

I just purchased some of Tim's new Distressed Paints so  wanted to tried them out along with the Wendy Vecchi "s Embossing Pastes. Flowers were made from grunge paper and Tim's  Tattered Floral Die then colored with distress stains .I used the Translucent embossing paste for the script stencil and Modeling paste for the honeycomb.The Bicycle is a memory box die . The butterfly I had made sometime ago following one of Andrea Walford's  tutorials .

Tim's Tag 2014 (March)

Just popping on here to post my tag I made for this months tag over at Tim's Tags for 2014. This month the tech . was focused on smudging . I'm not going into the details since you can fine it HERE . Can't say this is one of my favorite techniques but I'm happy with the result. I didn't have a spritzer so just sponged over the burlap stencil.
