Conference Swap

Hi Stamping Friends.  I finally had lots of pictures to share from conference, and my computer died and was down for over a week!  Gee, I sure missed it.  It's finally fixed!!!  I did want to share the card I made for my WOW swap at conference.  (It's so much prettier in real life.)  The colors are coastal cabana, daffodil delight, bermuda bay, whisper white, and Quatrefancy Specialty paper.  The green flowers are made by stamping with the Flower Shop stamp on white craft ink onto vellum cardstock, and embossing with white embossing powder, then colored with reinkers and water.  Then they are punched with the pansy punch.  The yellow roses are made with the Simply Pressed Clay dyed with daffodil delight reinker.  They are also glittered with dazzling diamonds.  The ribbon is daffodil delight seam binding.  The leaves are cut out with the secret garden framelits, and the frame is used with the deco labels framelits.  The coastal cabana background is embossed with the stripes embossing folder.  Whew!  I made 25 of these, and actually didn't take as long as I thought they would.  I hope the recipients liked the card.

Timeless Faux Patina

Hi Stamping Friends.  This is one of the cards we made at Technique Club.  The technique for the background is called Faux Patina.  The embossing folder used is Beautifully Baroque.  The folder was inked with crumb cake and embossed using the Big Shot.  Then it was sponged with marina mist, always artichoke and early espresso.  Topped with a few "touches" of versamark, and sprinkled with a little gold embossing powder, and heat embossed.  That easy!

The stamp set is called Timeless Talk, stamped in early espresso, mounted on Island Indigo.

Backyard Basics

Hi Stamping Friends.  I can't believe how much time passes between postings....sorry about that.  Do you ever have pieces of cardstock or stamped images just laying around?  That's how this card was created ... miscellaneous piece of stuff laying around my desk.  The colors are basic black, strawberry slush and wisteria wonder.  The stamp set is Backyard Basics, cut out with the coordinating framelits, which by the way, come in a bundle (bundle item #132729 Wood-Mount Bundle or #132728 Clear-Mount Bundle).  It's not real clear in the picture, but the flowers all are covered in crystal effects, which give them a 3-D look.  So much prettier in real life.
