Gelato Balloons

Hello Everybody!

I've been a little busy!  There is a challenge going on right now at All Beautiful Cards (ABC Challenges.  The challenge ABC42 is not to use flowers on your cards.

So for this card I used my gelatos.  These colors are all from the 50's diner set. I love the colors in this set, don't you? 

I used a Happy Birthday background stamp from Hero Arts and white embossed the background.  Then using the different colors in the set, I colored (with a little water) parts of the background to make the embossing show through.  I die cut the balloons from the Cricut machine (Celebrations cartridge) and colored each balloon with the gelatos.  

I used Maya Road twine and pop dotted the balloons.  And no flowers! ;)

Thank you for stopping by!  Until next time my friends...have a great day! :)

Peak-a-boo Bunny

Hello Everybody!

It's time for me to start making some Easter cards (really I should be finishing them, but you know how that goes!)  So here is my first one:

I made the background using my gelli plate.  It is so addictive to make mono prints on it!  I take different color paints, smooth them out, and use bubble wrap, stencils-whatever I can find to make designs in it.  Then I press down my paper and Voila!  Beautiful paper is made!  I think my favorite is the bubble wrap.

I used the sketch 3.20.13 at Let's Scrap for this week's weekly challenge.

I am also submitting this card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Challenge:  Spring/Easter

ABC Challenges: ABC22 Easter Cards

The bunny is a stamp from All Night Media and the sentiment is from Studio G.  The tag is from Girls Paperiere and the film strip with flowers is from Websters-it's fabric ribbon.

Here's a close up.

A Valentine's Day Card

Hello Everybody!

Tonight I made a card using the sketch at Inspirational Challenge #4.  Since it's a Valentine's Day Card, I am linking it to ABC Challenges-ABC14-Valentine's Day Cards.

I used an embossing folder from Cuttlebug for the background.  The circle is a lace doily and the hearts are glossy Ranger paper that I put red, cranberry, and white alcohol ink on and then I embossed one heart.  The banner is from a Tim Holtz die and the little envelope is K&Company.

Thanks for stopping by!  Until next time my friends...good night! :)

Happy Birthday Card

Hello Everybody!

This is my second post of the day-that means I am getting some things made!  Yah!

So this card is a Happy Birthday Card.  I don't have many already made and I have a lot of birthdays coming up!  (And one that has past but we will talk about that later!) ;)

This card is using the Sparkle N Sprinkle stamp set #392 Dani's Umbrella.  I embossed each panel with a different design.  I used Copic markers to color this flower girl and used Star Dust Stickles to make the spots on her dress glittery.  The twine is from My Mind's Eye.

The sentiment is from this stamp set also.  I stamped, colored, and cut it out.  Then I inked it with a pink cat's eye and punched a hole.  I tied it into the bow of the twine.

Scroll on down to see the sketch and challenges that I'm participating in!

Boo! Card

Hello Everybody!

I made this card using the sketch at Let's Scrap.  There's not much time left (I always do this!) but there will be a new sketch tomorrow.  :)

Here's the sketch right now:

Here's my card.  The trick or treaters are from My Minds Eye and the spider is from Jolee's.  The green spider web paper is from some bargain Halloween paper I bought from Target.  

And those cool eyes?  They are from Michael's.  This is the first time I have used them.  Spooky!  

Here's a close up of the trick or treaters.  

I am linking this card to the following challenges:
