An Awsome Card

Hi Ya

Wow I cannot get over this fiberglass tape....so many possibilities...and here is my second card using this tape.

How cool ha...the colors in real life a more fab then what you see....if i get a chance will take better pic later.

I love the combo colors of distress inks of barn door and wild honey...awesome.

Here is what I did....I stuck the fiberglass tape in the middle and then diagonally sponged on alternating with wild honey and barn door inks.  While that was drying...I remembered I had rubber stamps from STAMPlorations - 'All About You' which I had not used yet...what a fantastic word AWESOME to use...so i started stamping around the grid, dipping the stamp in wild honey and barn door and getting these awesome color combos....i could have been more careful in placement...but i think is ok.

I then sponged inbetween with wild honey...lightly...to give the card a bit of color.
Then i peeled of the tape and tada....a white grid.....how cool....love the look.

Then i found in the same rubber set the words YOU ARE.... stamped sponged in with wild honey and edged with barn door and then cut out and put a couple of pop dots for a bit of height.....and there you have.....You are awesome card....oh and i sponge around the card with barn door to enclose my favorite card ever.....


Hmm...love the grid tape, love the words stamps.....tinkering another card!!!!

Hmmmm I wonder what challenges i can enter this card in......


cheers for now

Best Wishes Grid Card

G'day

A couple of days to myself and I have been able to create a card for CAS(E) this Sketch challenge #55

Here is my card

I think it cool cause I found this fiberglass tape for joining plaster boards.
Love how you can use this one. It is tacky on one side. Thus you can stick it on or stick it on and ink over and then take it off and tada...you have a grid....I made another card with this second technique, just so awesome.

Ok then.... I taped down the grid tape, sponge strips with distress ink in crushed olive and broken china....I think blue and green are cool together.  I then fussy cut my favorite blue flower and put on a pop dot for height and complemented with two smaller one flowers and glued them on, then added stick on jewels for a bit of sparkle.  Finally added a stamped sentiment with jet black ink.  Then I was thinking would it be nice to border off the grid....then thinking I have no blue twine...but then again I am stasher of yarn...thus I choose a light blue yarn and glued it around the grid....gotta get me some more twine in different colors....yarn a bit too thick i think.


Inks used : Tim Holtz distress inks - crushed olive and broken china

Stamps used : fiskars - floral fair, sentiment - part of a birthday set of clear stamps

I love this grid tape so cool....stay tuned for another card using this fiberglass tape.

One Christmas Card

Hello

I have created this lovely panel with some stamps that I have not used yet....came out nice and thought to put it on a card base....

Here is the card...

I started with white textured paper and blended some green distress inks, I think crushed olive.  I stamped a couple of sentiments and a lovely swirl start with some snow flakes and blended the edges with red and green distress inks, barn door and crushed olive....

I would like to enter this into Simon Says Wednesday Challenge (Anything Goes)....

Anyways this is all for now....seeya

A mixed feeling card---go figure!!

Hi

I made a card no long ago and found myself wondering at the thought why I put a Happy Birthday sentiment along with Christmas colors in mind initially !!! Go figure...

Here is the card...

I remember thinking Christmas colors your usual red and green, but then i liked the leave embossing and then i wanted panels but how the happy birthday sentiment came along i am not sure...mixed wires in the mind for a while....i do need to get some Christmas embossing folders....i have seen some very cool ones online at my two favorite store in Aussie Land....Craftonline and ScrapDragan.

Anyways as time went by and some inspiration from the web I have come across using sand paper and doing a dry embossing on those leaves....not bad...made them a lighter color and they pop out too....

Anyways just wanted to share a confused card...but i like they way it looks...might/should replace that sentiment one day....

Life is not perfect all the time....have you noticed.


Thats all for now...ciao bella

Addicted to CAS Challenge #25

Hi

I would love to enter my mini Christmas card for the Addicted to CAS challenge #25 which the code word is

 

at

 

 

My entry card is 

This card just came to mind, I had some cut off textured white cardstock, so I folded in half and made myself a mini Christmas Card.

I scored the diagonal line and colored in with white gel pen, as per sketch #2 and stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment in jet black and colored in with green and red textas.  I then stamped the snow man and colored him in and added glitter to the body and tree.  I then stamped with broken china distress ink the snow flakes. How cool Myself thinks.

On the inside I thought to jazz up the page with those things ( still not sure what they are called, please let me know in the comments) and surrounded the edges with small snow flakes....with room to spare to write on.

There you go and mini Christmas card..


Inks used : Stazon - jet black, Tim Holtz - broken china

Stamps used : Stamplorations - simple flowers and sentiments, distressed floral swirls
