You do Amazing Things

Hello everyone,

I have a quick card for you today.  

This is a nice CAS card and I love how the colours came out when using the stencil.

First I used the Simon Says Stamp Waves stencil and took a few SSS inks.  I used Mint, Lemon Chiffon and Audrey Blue.  I used a mini blending tool and pounced it instead of rubbing and I like how it turned out.

Next I took the YOU die from the SSS Expressions for You stamp & die set and partially die cut it out of the panel and inlayed it with the black one.  I then stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink from the coordinating stamp set but I left out YOU.

To finish off the card I took some 4mm & 6mm sequins from Pretty Pink Posh and scattered them around the card.  It was hard for me as I hoard these :)

S'More fun! - Lawn Fawn Card

Hello everyone,

Well today was the first day of school for my girls and it was successful.  My youngest did not do so well at first as she is going into grade 1, but she did great after a few minutes.  My oldest did great, as soon as she saw her friends, mom and dad could be on their way!

I have a card to share with you that I made with Lawn Fawn's Love you S'MORE set.

I needed to get used to my distress inks as I was not getting the hang of the blending part.  I was always getting streaks no matter what I did but stubbornness prevailed and I think I figured it out...for this time at least!  I used Faded Jeans, Seedless Preserves and Dusty Concord as well as Mowed Lawn and Forrest Moss (all purchased as Simon Says Stamp) to give the hills and grass some dimension and I used the Mini ink blending tool and the regular ink blending tool as well.

 I used the Grassy Border dies from LF at the bottom as the bottom of the card needed something so I used a strip of grass to fill it in and I think it did the trick.  I did used the Mama Elephant Landscape Trio dies for the hills as my LF Stitched Hillside Borders Dies aren't in yet (but they are on there way!!!!!!) Unfortunately they are currently out of stock but it won't take long for them to get more in.

I used the Tiny Back Drops with Hero Arts white embossing powder for the starry background and the sentiment which I embossed on a piece of black card stock.  I used my copics to colour in the critters, moon and the flames.

You can't see it very well but I used my Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the marshmallows and the flames.  I used Recollections 110# card stock as well as a Kraft card base and I stamped the LF Woodgrain Backdrops on the base just for an additional element.

Thanks for stopping by!

See you soon with another card.
