Thank You

Good morning ladies! Well here is a card I created some time ago and didn't get posted! The stamp is one of the $1.00 stamps from Inkadinkado...got it at Michael's I think! As you can see I used my square nestabilities to emboss a frame around the stamped image. I really like how it turned out. The base of the card was embossed with the Sizzix Vines folder. I am in Arizona on a business trip...wow it is beautiful here today...going to get up to 75! I am not going to want to go back home...but I hope this beautiful weather makes its way to the midwest soon! I am anxious for spring. Bless you all for coming to see me and leaving me a little love.

HUGS!

Happy Hump Day! Today's card is a little out of the ordinary for xmas...purple is not a typical xmas color but I thought maybe with the gold I could make it look Christmasy. :) And my stamp...I really struggled with coloring it cause of the solid area...if I used red ink...the whole Santa would have been in red...didn't really want that so I thought what about just leaving it black and white? So that is what I did and added some Diamond Stickles to Santa's suit to give the card some bling and a Stardust GellyRoll gold glitter pen was used on the stars to brighten them up. I used a Martha S punch on my center layer and stamped the snowflakes using a Studio g stamp I had purchased from JoAnn Fabrics last winter. Of course, you know me...I HAD to add some embossing...I used the Sizzix Dots embossing folder. This was a fun card to make and I may have gotten carried away on my layers but I do like how it turned out. Well off to clean my house for Thanksgiving! Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving...I know I am very thankful for my blogging friends...bless you for stopping by!

Hugs!!!

Just Because

Well, here is the second creation from tonight...gosh I really need to get my pictures under control!!! Some are huge and others are not...please bear with me as I begin my blogging journey...it is very obvious I am green! Speaking of green, that is the color I chose to stamp my image with! This card front was embossed with a QuicKutz embossing folder called Framed. I then stamped my image twice...once with Memento Bamboo Leaves and once with Memento New Sprout ink...I really like the contrast. The stamp was from the Inkadinkado set called Garden Delight. Once everything was dry, I used my Versamark watermark pen and just outlined some of the image as well as some of the embossing and applied Ranger Holographic embossing powder. Very simple card...I don't do an awful lot of stamping yet...I am not real comfortable with coloring the images yet. Something for me to work on. Well, that's it for tonight, I hope you enjoyed my creations. Thanks for looking.

Hugs,

Vicki
