Greenhouse Lily

Good morning everyone!

God has blessed KCK with a beautiful morning.  I'm looking forward to today.  I'm hoping to get lots of cards made today.

Here's a card I completed last week.  It features a stamp from the Technique Tuesday Greenhouse line of stamps.  The sentiment is from the same set.

I used Stampin' Up markers to color the image.

Take care all and God bless! 

Simply Sketched

Hi everyone!  It's me again with another card.  This card is a copy of a card I saw on Pinterest and since I had all the supplies in front of me to make it I went for it.  All supplies except for the ink on the image are from Stampin' Up.

For the ink on the image, I used Bahama Blue and Pistachio Memento markers (sorry Leanne Gorsuch that's what I had in front of me).

Inside the card is thank you sentiment from Hero Arts.  Have a blessed day!

Sympathy

Hi everyone! 

Would you believe I had ran out of my inventory of sympathy cards?  Well, I did.  So now to build up that inventory. 

Here's one that I did with Graphic 45 papers and Stampin' Up's Stippled Blossoms set. 

I used a Spellbinders die too. 

Take care and God bless! 

Bright as a button

Hi everyone! 

Today's card that I am sharing has been 95% complete since last year.  The card without the little girl was a card that I made in a card class at Remember This Remember That in Gardner, KS.  (store is now closed and I do miss them!). 

I knew I wanted to added the little Pure Innocence girl to the card that goes with the sentiment.  So I stamped her yesterday, colored her with my Copics, and cut her out.  I then popped her up onto the card.  The card is now in the For Sale box for the next time relatives need cards or there's a craft show. 

Have a blessed day all! 

Butterfly Thinking of You

Hi Everyone! 

Today's card is a simple one.  I used a pre made 3 1/2 by 5 inch card from Stampin' Up.  I stamped the "Thinking of You" sentiment on the from of the card and on the inside stamped "you are very special to me".  Both sentiments are from Hero Arts Sending Smiles stamp set.  I smudged some black ink at the top left of the card.  So instead of putting only one butterfly (Memory Box) on the card I put two.                             

Have a great day everyone and God bless! 

Penny Black Lily

Here's my favorite card from a Penny Black board that was displayed at Ink, Paper, Rubber in Overland Park, KS.  Jennifer, the store owner, created a class for the four cards that were on the board and this is one of my cards from a class this past Wednesday. 

It's amazing how many techniques that are out there and how often I forget about them.  We colored the stamp using Memento markers.  Then we spritzed the stamp with water and then stamped.  This creates a pretty watercolor affect. 

We also used Memento ink (teal zeal and new sprout) on grey card stock to create a different look. 

Another technique we used is to stamp a background with Versamark.  We then sprinkled it with sticky embossing powder.  You then heat set it and that makes the embossing powder sticky.  We sprinkled some pretty green glitter on to the sticky embossing powder and heat set it again.  The glitter is from the Recollections line from Michael's stores. 

I then added some yellow and Crystal Stickles to the flower.   Cool card and cool techiques. 

Have a great day everyone and God bless!  

Hi everyone! 

Today I share with you two cards that I have made using Graphic 45's Botanical Tea papers.  The card on the left is a 5 X 7 card using the 12 x 12 papers.  The card on the left is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 and it uses papers from the 8 x 8 paper pad. 

Instead of using butterflies I used a oval punch and stamped Happy Mother's Day.   Who know, I may still add a butterfly or two :)

Have a great day everyone and God bless!
