Merry & Bright

I created this card loosely based on a Kristina Werner card.  She used kraft paper and I opted for white. I colored the lights with copics, added wink of Stella clear and then covered in glossy accents (sorry that doesn't show up better in the picture).  I put glitter tape under the stamped panel.  Not sure I love that part plain white might have looked better.  Hmmm.  Thanks for stopping by!!!

Supplies:  
American craft glitter tape
Papertrey white paper
Stamps:  Both sets were Essentials By Ellen Merry & Bright and Brushstroke Christmas.
Copics: Y15, Y17, YG07, YG09, B02, B04, YR04, YR07, R24, R27
Wink of Stella - clear
Ranger's Glossy Accents

Heat Embossing Acetate - Yikes!

Ever wondered if you could heat emboss on acetate.  Well at least the acetate I tried definitely did not work!  It reminded me of the kid projects where you melt plastic in the oven.  Yikes!!!  Oh well just thought I'd share my little experiment; just in case you ever wondered.

One Layer Card - OCC Day 3
I am not brave enough to try the harder watercoloring cards (even though I took the class).  I loved Kristina's card and did a little something like it with resist on the snowflakes and then a dry embossed background full of snowflakes.  This technique was super easy and I really like how it turned out.  Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies
Sizzix snowflake embossing folder
Stamps: SSS Lots of Snowflakes
Dies:  SSS Merry Christmas
Ink: mowed lawn, tumbled glass, broken china; versamark for the resist

I love these Online Card Classes.  I went with Jennifer McGuire's card today.  I only made 4 but, totally could have made a bunch more.  I only had 2 good greens I wanted to use so that made it a little easier. Thanks for dropping by!

Supplies:
Stamps: Simon Says Stamps, Papertrey Ink, and Ali Edwards/Technique Tuesday
Inks: Hero Arts Field Green & Forever Green (trunk is cup o' joe)
Used an veneer star probably from Studio Calico.
Red card base is Hero Arts.

This is my Thanksgiving card for this year.  The leaves were watercolored with distress inks.  I put the distress inks on my craft mat sprayed them with water (mixed with perfect pearls in bronze) smooched the paper into it (a few times) and then after they dried I used the Lawn Fawn leaf dies to cut the leaves.  Then used SSS woodgrain paper on a cream card.  Included the Whimsy "happy" from gold foil paper, stamped "thanksgiving" on vellum and embossed with AC Gold embossing powder.  Used Lawn Fawn gold twine to add a little texture.  Thanks for dropping by!

Another Christmas card.  I just love this digital image from Bugaboo.  Such fun to color.  Not sure if you can see it in the picture but I added glossy accents to her glasses and the ornaments after coloring with Copic Markers.

Copy Card from Kristina Werner

I fell in love with this image when Kristina created a beautiful card with it.  I don't usually copy a card but I just loved it.
