Mind Scapes

Happy card making day to everyone. I went to a card class today and made some cards. I didn't take the right glue so I have to finish them at home. This is not one of the cards made in class. It was so much fun. I will go to the class next Oct too. 

The base of his card is 5x7 and I used neenah cs.  I made a sketch template in word for the background layout 4.75 x 6.75 and printed it onto neenah cs. On each of the squares I used lots of post it note to cover up the squares.  Then I could use distress ink linen sponging in each of the squares. Before I removed the post its I took my stamp and stamped before moving on to the next square. The stamp set I used is Inkadinkadoo Mind Scape. The images were inked with memento black and SU old olive. I added a SU old olive ribbon and tied a knot. On the inside of the card I added a second generation stamp of the butterfly. The card took me quite awhile to do but I am pleased with the results. I am hoping the next one will be faster.  I will add my card into this challenge.

Hi everyone,

I was looking through my stamps and came across this cute one from The East Wing Stamps. I printed it onto Acrylic paint pad and coloured it with watercolours using distressed ink and markers.  walnut stain, tea die, vintage photo, spiced marmalade, homey comb, picket fence, blue, pink. The background of the image was SU chalk. The card base is SU bashful blue cut using the sizzix circle die. The DSP is DCWV paper stack and also cut with a larger circle die. I used SU close to cocoa marker to add dash lines around both of the circles. Wink of stella was used on the butterfly and sparkle in her eyes. I then added three silver sequins. I hope you have enjoyed this card and I do hope it gave you some inspiration.  

I will add this card into this challenge.

Hi everyone,

Our sponsor at 613 Ave Create this week is Vectoria Designs. I had a hard time trying to decide how I wanted to use the tickets. This is the card I came up with. The card base is recollections kraft. I used the plane background and added distressed  ink. I just wanted to make it a bit darker than was there  to give it more of a vintage look. I did the same to the tickets. I mixed some glitter glue blue and yellow to make green and added it to one of the clovers.I cut 5 half inch circles in black and added white for an embellishment Using SU punch. I wrote the sentiment myself and cut around it with an ek success frame punch. Lastly faux stitching for more interest. I will add this into these challenges.



Thank you for stopping by, happy creating!
