Summer Card Camp Week 4

Wow, the last week already!  I wish it could go on and on!  This is not my usual style card, but it just happened.  I'll call it Wonky Circles.  Almost makes you dizzy, doesn't it?

Just various punched paper circles and a stamped sentiment. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado and the paper is from PTI, SU and Bazzill.  Thanks for looking!

Summer Card Camp 2011 Week 3

These colors were a challenge!  Overall I'm pleased with my card, but do wish there was more "color" in it. :-) Created using Jennifer McGuire's "fingerinking" technique and Distress Inks. My fingers turned an odd purple color for a couple of days even when I scrubbed them!

The Hero Arts butterfly is embossed in silver for a bit of sparkle. After cutting out the image, I went in and darkened a couple of areas with Walnut Stain ink with water and a paint brush. I also put red dots in the small spots on the wings with a marker, but you cannot tell from the image, or even in person.

The sentiment is from PTI's Beyond Basic Borders, backgrounds from Hero Arts (Friends Definition) and Hero Arts (Antique Brocade) and card stock from Bazzill (Red), Neenah (Solar White), PTI (Kraft) and Stampin Up! (Chocolate Chip). The charm is from Lost & Found by Blue Moon Beads. Rhinestones, brads, an eyelet and a bit of rustic twine finish the project.

Thanks for looking!

Summer Card Camp 2011 Week 2


These are not my favorite colors, but, wow, once I started working with them, I loved the sunny look!  The card below was created by stamping the Hero Arts Butterfly Flower image repeatedly on PTI Kraft cardstock.  I colored the images with Copic markers and added dots with a Sharpie white marker.  The bow and butterfly accent are Crushed Curry by Stampin' Up!  Finally, edged with PTI white ink and added a couple of bright rhinestones.    Thanks for looking, have a great week!
