bloom…


For this challenge I chose the optional twist of using a sticker!
The base card is white card stock.
On a square of white card stock I stamped the sentiment from Elizabeth Craft Designs “Where Flowers Bloom” and backed it with pink textured card stock.
The stickers are from my local Dollar Tree.


heart…


Sometimes you just need a little bunny hanging around.
The base card is light brown card stock.
On watercolor paper I stenciled, with a sponge, hearts.
I cut it into a strip and backed it with a dark brown card stock strip.
I cut out a sitting bunny from the light brown card stock and glued it to the front then stamped the sentiment from Technique Tuesday “Smooch”.

After watching Tim Holtz latest video about Distress embossing glazes I made a swatch piece and then decided to turn it into a card.
The base card is white card stock with a layer of green card stock.
On a white card stock panel I stamped, from left to right, Tim Holtz shamrocks with Versamark, Distress rustic wilderness and Distress Oxide rustic wilderness.
On all three I applied Distress embossing glaze rustic wilderness and heat embossed it.
(Note the difference!!!)
Next I used my favorite corner punch then stamped the sentiment, unknown company, with Distress rustic wilderness ink.

joy…


This is definitely not the “norm” for me.
The base card is white card stock.
I made a background of Distress ink and stenciled metallic gold using a Tim Holtz stencil.
I used black strips of gold card stock and die cutting the sentiment from the same card stock using a die from Tim Holtz.


lovely…


I’ve been so into backgrounds and die cutting that I forgot you can stamp and color!
The base card is white card stock.
On a white card stock panel I stamped a section of an image from Picket Fence Studios “Ruffled Peony Bouquet” and colored it with Copic markers.
To finish I stamped the sentiment from the set.
