Shake The Sand From Your Shoes

Hi, everyone!  This week's Color Challenge over at Splitcoast is to use ivory, light aqua, and teal.  My card today features all three, along with some sandy designer paper which I hope will be considered a "neutral".  I have used the following items from Divinity Designs LLC in the making of this shaker card: Stamps: Jesus Saves; Paper: Beautiful Beaches; Stencil: Water Spray; Dies: Pierced Frames, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer; Misc: Shaker Supplies, X-press It Foam Tape.  After stenciling with the light aqua and teal, I used versamark and clear embossed the splashes before assembling the shaker.  Baker's twine was added for a final embellishment.

Life Is Better With You

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share a CAS (clean and simple) card created for a friend's birthday.  The white card base was stenciled with light blue ink using the 'Circles' Mixed Media Stencil and Blending Brushes from Divinity Designs LLC.  Also from DD is this 'Fur-ever Friends' Stamp/Die Duos set. The image was stamped with Stazon Jet Black, water-colored, then popped up with foam tape over the sentiment which was cut and framed with the Sentiment Strips 2 Dies.  Some Crystal Rhinestones were added as a finishing touch.

Happiest of Birthdays

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is embee46 (not sure what her name is).  I chose this awesome card to case today.  I loved the blended colors...the yellows and pinks and how they combined into orange tones, so I created a Wrinkle Free Distress background with So Saffron and Melon Mambo.  Once the panel was dry, I stamped this 'Botanical Beauty' background stamp (from Taylored Expressions) with Melon Mambo.  The sentiment is from 'Bitty Birthday Wishes' (from My Favorite Things).  The sentiment was cut out and framed with the Sentiment Strips 2 Dies from Divinity Designs LLC; the WFD panel was cut with the Pierced Rectangles Dies, layered with the Matting Rectangle Die, also from Divinity Designs.

Ants and Cupcakes!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Friday Free4All Challenge over at Splitcoast is all about sharing your favorite sweet dessert.  My card today was made for my nephew's birthday....he is obsessed with ants and he loves vanilla cupcakes, so I combined the two for his card!  The ant die cuts were gifted to me from a dear sweet stamping friend from Splitcoast (thank you, Anne!) and the rest of the dies are from Divinity Designs LLC: Cakes & Candles, Slimline Grasses, Clouds and Raindrops, Letter Board, Happy Birthday and Layers, Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, and A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer. Extra candles were cut (for the wicks) so that the numbers could appear to be candles as well!  Googlie eyes were added to the ants for a finishing touch.

Doggone Wonderful

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share a fun birthday card for my nephew, who loves dogs.  I used the color challenge from MFT since it was perfect for a masculine design.  The images from 'Best In Show' were stamped in Stazon Jet Black, fussy cut, popped up with foam tape, then water-colored.  The grass and clouds were sponged.  The scenic panel was cut out with the Pierced Rectangles Dies from Divinity Designs LLC and the clouds were sponged over a cloud cut out with the Clouds and Raindrops Dies. The edges of the card base were sponged to add a bit of depth.

Thanks for visiting with me today!

Autumn Covered Bridge

Hi, everyone! This week's Friday Free4All Challenge over at Splitcoast is to use something "taller than you".....for my card I used the Covered Bridge image (Blue Knight Stamps) which I recently picked up at a stamp show.  With the help of a Misti, the image was stamped multiple times with Stazon Jet Black to give complete covereage. (Larger images do not stamp well in the center).  The image was colored with sponges and markers.  Other items used for this card are as follows: Divinity Designs LLC Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, Rectangles Dies, Sentiment Strips 2 Dies, and the sentiment is from the 'Better Place' stamp set.
