Once upon a Springtime

Hello Everyone,

Had my monthly card class over at Simply Said Rubber Stamps yesterday. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

Let me share one of the cards from the class.

Quite a bit of layers and various different DP's adds a lot of interest to a card. The fairy is darling and we used Wink Of Stella to add just the right amount of shimmer to the image and the saying. 

If you haven't tried Wink of Stella yet, you must try it. I suggest starting out with the clear. It will add shimmer to your color and it really adds just the right accent.

Every Artist

Hi everyone and welcome back!!!And welcome to my new followers, too.

Recently I mentioned how orange is not one of my fav colors. LOL Well I guess I might have to eat my words.You'll see in a minute!! Now I guess that means I can wear those orange pants, but I am going to limit my wearing to Halloween. Otherwise I might be mistaken as an orange Popsicle. LOL

OK let me share a quick little project I made. And it has shades of ORANGE!!!, OH MY!!! imagine that. Well after all it's fall now!! LOL

I made a tag and it started out as white CS.  Next I stamped the verse and the image and then I sponged on all of the fall colors (.See, orange is in that tag.)  Next I cut a few leaves using vellum. I sponged inks made my bow and put it all together. I photographed it and was writing this post and I looked at those leaves and decided they needed something. Well you know what that means, time to add something to finish those leaves off. I got out some glitter and defined the veins and it was just what was needed. You be the judge.

Here is the same tag and the only thing I did was to glitter the veins on the leaves.

Those leaves look like leaves, now. 

Here are the items I used:

inks: Memento- Cantaloupe, Desert Sand, New Sprout, Morocco, Olive Grove, Peanut Brittle, - Distressed Inks - Fired Brick

CS: White, Vellum

Spellbinders Dies: S4-158 Sunflower Set Two & S4-157 Sunflowers Set One (leaf from each set)

Stamps: Unity - Imagine It ( DD-706)

Sponge Dauber

Glue pen

Glitter - Sparkle N Sprinkle  Parisian Mist glitter - G1037

Ribbon ( from my stash)

Bow Making tool - Craft-Dee BowZ

Well thanks a lot for stopping in today.Have a great week!!
