BFF Bellas!!!

I am having a terrible time with following sketches this week...this started out as Julee's mojo Mon sketch, and as you can tell turned out nothing like it. I wish the picture did this more justice irl it seems more matchy matchy the tones aren't right in the pic.....I'm getting a photo box very soon!!!! I made this card for my bff to tell her thanks for helping me with my sister and then I found out today that she doesn't feel well, so hopefully this makes her feel better!!!

Paper: MME Bohemia, WW

Quick birthday

I made this in super lightning speed at the last min, but I liked how it turned out! Although I glued it together and then realized I should inked the edges. Oh well. The card base is a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of black card stock. What company you say? Who knows! All it says is "dark black" on the sticker. Isn't black always dark? Any way the second layer is a piece of SU whisper white cs(4" x 5" )that I embossed with the stylized flowers Cuttlebug folder. I then punched the scallop circle(SU tempting tourquoise) with my Marvy giga punch. I used my paper piercer to punch the holes. I used my Cricut to create the 2 1/2" inner circle with whisper white cs. I then stamped the images( SU Fun and Fast Notes) with grey stazon, using my stamp-a-ma-jig to make sure the placement was correct. I colored in the image with my prismacolors(non photo blue and canary yellow). i embossed the frosting on the cake with white ep, and added some glitter to the flames for added bling! The ribbon I got a hl for a dollar. And there you have it folks a super quick card for my little sisters 18th birthday!!!!

Heartfelt thanks

I made this quick card for my husbands co worker who just gave us a wedding present! The paper is IOD paintables I used the gamosal magic techinque to color the flower. I used prismacolor blush pink and canary yellow. For the blue part I used my niji watercolor brush with SU bliss blue ink. I stamped heartfelt on watercolor paper in stazon grey, watercolored over it with positivly pink, attached it and added a metal coil I got from hl. I stamped thanks on the inside. BTW did I say i looooooooove this paper cus I do! It turned out good on a lo and on a card....I'm so pleased!!!

Love Story

Well the sun is finally shinning here in the big D, adobe is working for the time being, and blogger is actually letting me upload photos!!!!!!!! I finally get to post woooo hooooo!!!!!!!!! Ok, for your viewing pleasure is a lo I did using the IOD paintable water color paper. See previous post for details on paper. The flowers and leaves were colored with prismacolor pencils(click here for a list of prismas that match SU colors) spring green(pc913) for SU gable green, canary yellow(pc916) for SU yoyo yellow, process red(pc994) for SU pink passion, non- photo blue(pc919) for SU tempting turquoise. I used the magic gamosal technique with blending stumps from hobby lobby, and odorless mineral spirits that I bought at ace hardware. The border and the text backgrounds were made by taking my Niji watercolor brush and dipping it in pink passion and tempting turquoise(Pushing the ink pad down on a page protector created a nice pool of ink to water color with, for me. You can also use re-inkers, I just don't have any,YET.) The text was made in Word and printed off on vellum. The ribbon is also from the IOD Prima line. The title was from DCWV vellum quote stack(wedding and romance) that I water colored the back of with pink passion. It dried bumpy and I kinda liked that rough look. The picture overlay is from my minds eye bohemia collection. Heres a close up of the journaling entry.

All and all I really like how it turned out. The picture doesn't really capture how bright it is though. Thanks for looking!!!!
