Make It Monday #131 - Striped Embossing

For this Make it Monday Challenge, I made a card on Classic Kraft paper and used a wooden stamp that I have to make the splatter pattern for the background using Classic Kraft ink. I really love the technique of striped embossing and I think it would really have popped better if I had bigger sentiment images to stamp with (on my wish list). I used a stamp and die from Autumn Abundance and used Copic markers to fill in the image. I placed the smaller piece of Classic Kraft onto a white card base. I think it turned out cute!

Spring 2013

Well, it is Spring again and thanks to my son, I got some new pecan mulch in my flower beds and planted some beautiful flowers in my grandfather's old wheelbarrow. I'll show you a few pictures of the work in progress and keep you posted on how the plants work out! I think they are beautiful.

 

 

Easter Card 2

This is the second card I made for the Papertrey Ink challenge. This card was also used blending copic inks (still hoping Papertrey dye ink pads will soon be available to order...). I used white cardstock from Papertrey Ink, a Flourishes stamp and Cuttlebug embossing folder. Love this one too!

Easter Card 1

I worked on some Easter cards and I absolutely love the way they turned out. I worked on blending colors for the background for a Papertrey Ink challenge. I used copic markers because I do not have a lot of inks yet. I'm hoping that the dye inks will soon be in stock at Papertrey so that I can order. I used a stamp set from Flourishes. I used the white cardstock from Papertrey Ink and I used emblossing pads from Cuddlebug.
This is the first card...

Another cute Christmas gift! I love this cork holder!! I'm trying out some of my new calligraphy skills that I learned from my book LISA ENGLEBERT , "Modern Calligraphy and Hand Lettering" using chalk! I love chalk art and calligraphy. It is so relaxing...
