You are SO Wise

Hello Paper Maniacs, Happy Saturday! I am happy to show you this card today, made with super-awesome, unique images from Northwoods Stamps.  Have you seen that all Northwoods Stamps are marked down 25% in the Paper Maniac store until October 31st?? Eeeeep!!

This card was pretty easy to create. I used a Neenah white cardstock base, and navy layers. I used Spellbinders classic rectangles for the focal image and layer. The Northwoods image is stamped in Memento Black ink and then colored with copics. The night sky and the moon were sponged with 3 different shades of Memento ink: Lulu Lavendar, Cantaloupe and Tangelo. My daughter wanted me to color the tree's eyes blue (not sure if it shows on the photo). :-)
Here is a close-up if the cololring:

 

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a great weekend.

Spotlighting Morning Glories

I have always loved this quote- "Let us be grateful for those who make our souls blossom." Sometimes, in life, we are lucky enough to be graced with wonderful people who make our souls blossom.  I am so very grateful for those gifts that have been given to me-a loving family and caring, compassionate friends- people who truly make my soul blossom. 

I was thinking about those people as the inspiration for my card.

Dont you just love this floral image?  It comes from Papertrey Ink's Morning Glories set.  I love the bright blue to lilac colors of morning glories, and they are one of my favorite kinds of flowers. 

Here is a close-up of the spotlighted image.  I thought spotlighting parts of this flower would stand out against the white paper.  If you want to read more about the spotlighting tecchnique, click HERE.      

Thanks so much for stopping by today, hope you have a fabulous day!

Fall Wreath Thank You

I am LOVING the new Papertrey Ink releases, this card uses the Wreath for All Seasons set.  This set is so neat, it has 3 awesome wreath images and several senitments and a few accent images too!!  There is so much versatility with this set, its AMAZING!!  The sentiment on this card comes from the YOF: Morning Glories set. 

Again, this card was super-easy to make.  I used a PTI Terracotta Tile carstock base and die cut Spellbinders Labels 15- I sponges around the edges with Desert Sand (Memento) ink and stanped the wreath image right onto the die cut.  I stamped the dotted wreath image over the twiggy wreath and added some glittery accents (stickles).  Lastly, I tied a bit of Bakers twine around the bottom of the card, and stamped the sentiment. 

Thanks for stopping by, have a fabulous day!!
