Hugs For You

Ink to Paper
Mel's Fab Friday
Hugs
For this card I made a paper hug  from Vintage Linens patterned paper. I layered and inked it up (used Melon Berry)  and stamped the the sentiment from the Make It Market Mini Kit: Halloween Hugs (used Dark Chocolate). What fun little set that is! Then I add 3 colors of twine from May Arts:Pink; Baby Blue; and Brown. Enamel Dots are from Echo Park.

Black and White Birthday

Ink to Paper
Project Reach Out : Birthday
I made this card using Beautiful Bouquet, Vogue Vases and a sentiment from Song Bird.The stamped writing is from a background stamp from Scrapblocks. It is hard to tell but it is on Silver cardstock and the sentiment is stamped in Metallic Sliver Encore Ink. Weathervane Ink was used for the background. my idea was to create a Black and White sketch influenced card using the outline.A variety of pearls used are from Want 2 Scrap.

Yellow Blossoms

Yellow Challenge
Kim's Stampin' Patch on Facebook

A challenge on her Facebook page to use yellow! Not really that hard because it such a beautiful color but it sure hard sometimes to photograph...  I also was so inspired by this paper being so soft bringing spring to the door step.
My yellows are Butter and Sunflower Ink from Lawn Fawn. Harvest Gold and Ocean Tides card -stock from PTI, American Crafts/ Dear Lizzy: Blossom Patterned Paper. Ink to Paper: Blossoming Branches, Penned Elegance, and Edgers Stamps and Dies; Soft Stone and Weathervane Ink.

Bouquet Backdrop

Ink to Paper
Weekend Challenge
Use Feb 2020 Release Products
For my card I used the Bouquet Backdrop and the Chain Frame. The backdrop is a solid floral die with no companion stamp. I used an brilliant technique seen from a video I saw on the Foiled Fox; I did same by taking a Copic line pen...O.1 tip Black then draw an loose outline.Next it was inked using PTI inks in the Pinks and Greens. Then I inked a Pink back ground, layering the chain die in some glitter paper for some extra sparkle.This entire layer is popped up on some Bitty Big paper.

Simply Easter


Lawn Fawnatics
Bring It Back  Challenge  #71

The idea here was to use some older stamps sets b/c we all know they are still really cute and well loved! I decided to go with Easter... For this card I used the Inside Out Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Die to create a meshed background with the plain card stock melding the LF Gummy Bear patterned paper. It always fun to mix match the Lawn Fawn stamps.
