valentine…


I spent a day last week creating cards with a heart die that had many little hearts in it and thought I should save them in case I needed them…

I pulled out the largest of them to create the card for this challenge.
I colored each with Distress Oxide ink to match the color code.
Then I glued them on white card stock and stamped it with sentiments from My Favorite Things “Itty Bitty Love”.
This I added to a pink and brown base card.




XOXO…


When I saw this prompt I knew immediately that I wanted to use my new, to me, Lawn Fawn “Giant XOXO” die!
I made a background for it with a blank rubber stamp and Distress inks to create a rainbow.
Then I used white and black card stocks to create the card.



monochrome…


This is a teaching post for all of you who try something, don’t like it and throw it away.
The main panel of this card was made over 6 months ago with white card stock, Distress ink and a dandelion stamp, unknown company, which I might not even have anymore.
I really didn’t like it but I tossed it in my pre-made pile just in case.
Today I found the perfect card stock for a layer and sentiment die cut to make a monochrome card!




happiness…


These watercolored panels are so much fun to make with Anita Jeram images from Colorado Craft Company and watercolor pencils.
The sentiment is from Verve Stamps, yet another company that has gone out of business.
All attached to the pink checked card base.


barn…


For this challenge I made a watercolor with Art Impression water color stamps and Distress markers.
I stamped the sentiment from Pinkfresh Studios and applied it to a green striped base card.
