Today, I was up and out early to have my nails done, which is always a nice little treat. Now, I am home and back in my craft room and ready to create. I really do feel so lucky to have a hobby that keeps me so busy, otherwise I think I'd be ready to scream!
I have several new cards to share, all created in the past few days. I'm starting with some more of the cards from the Jennifer McGuire Workshop, which I took on Saturday. In the afternoon session, it was all card-making and more techniques and we had a total of eight cards to work on. We focused in class on learning the techniques and took the rest home to finish. These are a few more of the cards that I have now complete. I changed around a few of the colors, layouts and sentiments on some, to make me more 'me'.
Bloom
These flowers were actually from a Hero Arts Stamp.
Stamps on Watercolor Paper and Heat Embossed in White
We then added the color with Distress Inks and Perfect Pearls
The background card base is the Large Flower Stamp - Tone on Tone!
Hope
In class we created a window card, with a stamped image
on the inside -- mine smudged, so I took that care and revamped
it bay using a Sentiment cute with a Scalloped circle Nestie
layered on a Textured Circle.
The Background and the little bird were all
stamped/colored with Distress Inks.
Thank you / Friend
This card was very fun! First the 'Friend' definition stamp was heat embossed in white.
We then added a background of inks and stamps a second Leaf Stamp.
That was layered onto a card base that was stamped with this Hero Arts Stamp
and we added the Sentiment, Ribbon and Button!
Special Note / Acetate Card
This card was really unique to me and was created from a piece of Acetate that had
been cut to A2 size and embossed with a Cuttlebug Folder. I decided to change the embossing at home, and simply ran it though my Cuttlebug with a different folder. The flower and the die-cut pieces were all colored using a variety of techniques, inks and stamps. A very cool card!!
