Perfect Love
A friend of mine needed a wedding card. Since I didn't have one in my stash I made this one for her to send. I really hope she likes it. It was actually pretty quick and easy...and that NEVER happens for me! Ha!
The main image is Whiff of Joy's Wedding Cake unmounted stamp. I stamped it on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow Markers and a damp paint brush.
The corners of the panel were punched with a Fiskars corner punch, then Blush Pearls were added to embellish.
The sentiment is from the Whiff of Joy Wedding Sentiment Collection . It was stamped on Crabapple Prismatics cardstock, then cut with my Spellbinders Fancy Tags . The burgundy velvet ribbon is May Arts, and the designer paper is from the Madeline paper pad by K & Company.
So, that's it for me tonight! I'm off to find something for dinner.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Louisiana Christmas Card!
I have loved this stamp since I first saw it. You see, the Pelican is the state bird for Louisiana, so it makes the *perfect* Louisiana Christmas card, doesn't it?
The image is Impression Obsession's Winter Pelican . I stamped it three times...once on watercolor paper, once on Twilight Prismatics Light, and once on Twilight Prismatics Medium .
The image stamped on watercolor paper was cut out and colored with Tombow Markers then blended with a damp paint brush.
In this image you can see where I cut apart the two impressions stamped on Twilight cardstock, and put them together at the water line.
This lats image shows you how I placed the pelican image, before it was watercolored.
I added some Stardust Stickles to the water line and waves, and put a little Liquid Applique on his hat.
The red cardstock used is Prismatics Classic Red and the blue is all three shades from the Prismatics Twilight Trio .
I hope your week is off to a good start! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today!

Noel Charity
Well it was definitely a stamping kind of day here today! It has been raining all day long, and there is a slight chill in the air as if fall is really coming! So I took advantage of the weather, stayed inside and stamped! As if I needed an excuse! LOL!
Isn't this a sweet image? It is from the new Noel 2009 Christmas Collection by Sarah Kay, and it's called Noel Charity . I stamped on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow Markers . The edges of the oval were distressed with Tea Dye Distress Ink . The only other thing I did to the stamped image was a little detailing on the white parts of her hat and between the bricks using my White Opaque Pen .
The designer paper is from the Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper pad. The cardstock is all three shades from the Crabapple Prismatics paper trio. The ribbon is May Arts Pink Crochet .
The snowflakes were punched from McGill punches, then covered with Diamond Glaze and sprinkled with Krystallos Vintage Glass . While the diamond glaze was still wet, I also sprinkled Crystal Ultrafine Glitter on top. You can click on the pictures to get a larger view. I just LOVE those snowflakes! LOL!
I'm off to catch up on the housework I didn't do this weekend, and hopefully a little time for the many Google Reader posts I haven't yet read.
Thanks for stopping by. I will be back tomorrow with something new.

An Eggnog?

I'm really not quite sure why they named this cute little Penny Black stamp An Eggnog . What don't I get about that? LOL!
I stamped it on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow Markers and a damp paint brush. The santa hat was stamped once again, cut out and popped up with foam tape. To embellish it I spread a thin layer of White Liquid Applique then sprinkled itwith Crystal Ultrafine Glitter while it was still wet. The layer behind the main imge was cut with my Spellbinders Labels Three Nestabilities .
The sentiment is from the JustRite Stampers A Merry Little Christmas borders and centers set. I punched the sentiment with a McGill Stacking Oval punch (1" x 1-1/2"), then punched the red layer behind it with the next size larger McGill Stacking Oval (1-5/16" x 1-13/16). Those were both layered onto a Ribbon Tags Trio 2 shape cut from Blush Red Medium Prismatics cardstock. The ribbon is May Arts Dark Red Two Tone Ribbon .
The designer paper is from the Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper pad. The cardstock is Blush Red Medium and Dark and Spring Willow Medium Prismatics .
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm off to watch Dancing With the Stars! :-)

Snowflake in Bloom

I took a little time this weekend to play with the Holly Berry House Snowflake In Bloom Medallion stamp. The possibilities just endless!
I stamped it using VersaMark Watermark Ink then embossed with JudiKins White Diamond Embossing Powder . I love that ep because it's white with silver glitter in it. It's soooooo pretty!
The image was stamped twice on Iced Colbalt Prismatics , and twice on Frosted Cobalt. It was then stamped once on Intense Cobalt, which is the bottom layer.
As you can see from my sample, I just kept cutting away at it, then stacking the layers using Scotch foam tape. Using my Quickie Glue Pen for adhesive, I added Art Institue Glitter's Crystal Ultrafine Glitter to each layer. The center is Kaiser Craft Snow White Pearls colored with a Copic C5 marker. You might need to click on the picture to see the detail. I had a hard time getting a good picture...darn it!
For the background I used my new Impression Obsession Fluff Cover-A-Card background stamp with my *NEW* Mega Mount Rocker Block . Oh...how I DO love that new block. So easy to use!!!
The panel behind the snowflake was cut and embossed with a Spellbinders Labels One Nestability . This last picture is just to show you the dimension.
So...that's it for me tonight. Thanks for stopping by!
