Reverse Confetti - In A Big Way

I received this gorgeous In A Big Way Reverse Confetti sentiment set last month and I just love it!



I blended some Distress inks on my background and then stamped on top of that in black. I added a candle and topped it with my Wink of Stella pen (yes, again) and then some Glossy Accents. I then scored some lines around the edges and popped it up with foam tape onto my card base. I used Papertrey Ink's Basic Background: Super Stripes and some WPlus9 white ink to stamp some stripes on my card base. The stripes added some punch to the card - it was so plain otherwise.

Joy tag with Phrase Play #8

When I was on my crafty retreat last month I got to borrow this fabulous Phrase Play #8 die and the coordinating stamp set. I love it! It's my favorite one and I'm going to have to buy it for myself.



I cut the die from Raspberry Fizz cardstock and mounted it on Vintage Cream. I then trimmed around it (I looked in my stash for a mat that would fit or work and didn't have one so just used the good ol' trimmer. :) )

I added a bit of shimmer to the star with my Wink of Stella pen. Love that thing. My intent is to use this as a tag - punch a small hole in the top corner and thread it with some pretty baker's twine.

Mr. & Mrs.

I masked a heart with some scratch paper then filled it with some ornate scroll-y images. A simple Mr. & Mrs. over the top provided the sentiment. Then I put the whole thing through my Big Shot with an impression plate to add some texture.

Happy Fall Y'all

Just playing around a bit with making a wreath with some tiny leaves and other fall images.

Soaring

I wanted to try out some ink blending and a new Avery Elle stamp set called Look Up. This is the combo of that experiment. I wasn't sure where I was headed with it as I was making it, but I rather like it!





Distress Inks: Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade.

I added some water drops for interest and then went over the feathers with my Wink of Stella pen to glitz it up a bit.

A card made from scraps

I was tidying up my scraps yesterday and these four colors together spoke to me and said, "make a card!" And so I did. :)






Colors: PTI Raspberry Fizz, Bazzill Card Shoppe Easter Grass, PTI Enchanted Evening, PTI Hawaiian Shores. Dies are PTI.

Cure for the Monday Blues #31

Just popping in to join Taheerah's Cure for the Monday Blues challenge #31. I loved how cheery and bright the inspiration photo was and the bedding inspired me right away to use Papertrey's Mehndi Medallion stamp set.

Here's the inspiration photo.

And here's my take on it...


I heat embossed the Mehndi Medallion in white all over the front of the card. Then I blended some Distress Ink (Mustard Seed) over it.


I add a thin strip of pink stripe paper along with a sentiment (Papertrey Think Big) and then inked the edges with some green ink.

Enjoy your day!
