Season Of Miracles cc

Layers and Layers of Outlines stamps heat embossed with Ranger seafoam white powder for their current color combo challenge. Which is Brown, Aqua & White. This is 5 1/2" square in real life, the largest snowflake #J168 and the sentiment #C449 are done on stardream aquamarine ( which is shimmery in real life) and the smaller snowflake # E169 is done on Kraft. The white piece under the sentiment is from the spellbinders grommet tags die set, the kraft longer piece under that is from the fancy tags 2 set and the kraft panel under the largest snowflake is from the Grand labels 1 set, There is a bit of both aspen mist & aquatic splash versamagic chalk inks along the edge of this panel. The mini brads and sheer ribbon are unknown.

Cat Support

This is another almost CASE of my self, dont remember how long ago, but way back when PB did not have an angel policy ( or i thought they did not) I made a card with this image, stamps, color scheme and a gal at SCS pm'd me and asked to buy the card, ( which i had already given away or something dont remember the details) but, I did have the scraps laying around so I colored a second image and put all the pieces aside... so in the effort to get some of these scraps under control tossed this together the other day. the purple mulberry flowers were an free thank-you for ordering gift from Crop stop. and recently there was a free for all challenge at scs to make a card and something on it had to be "free" never did get around to uploading this one though, think the original card is in the gallery there. This ones 6" square in real life.

Beautiful Gardens

Keep admiring those big floofy bows done with seam binding... still have no idea "how-to" do them, was messing around with this one, tied it in knots a dozen times finally gave up and just looped loops and hand stitched it with a needle, and it was kinda flat... so parked this snip of a bloomer type style ribbon flower on top. This is an color combo challenge at scs with Certainly Celery, Blushing Bride & so Saffron colors. the card base is bazzill though, and so its slightly paler then the saffron on the sentiment mat. These are newer Impression Obsession stamps ( i think) well lets put it this way new since last Christmas time.. They are stamped with versafine vintage sepia on Neenah classic cream then distressed with various inks. the mini brads are from Lasting Impressions. It's 6" square in real life. those stick pins were bought at a yard sale and I think i have one left so have to find some of those and make more I guess because I do like how they look poked into something.

Kick Back Goose

Did you know that the Impression Obsession blog does challenges? ( I didn't) but, this was done real quick for the current challenge which is "lets hear it for the boys" This is 6" square in real life, the Impression Obsession Canadian Goose stamp was done with versafine vintage sepia on Neenah classic cream. the edges have some ranger distress inks (forest moss,tumbled glass, rusty hinge, antique linen) color dusted on to it. So does the Kick Back sentiment ( also from IO) the black mini brads are from recollections, the crackle PP is from sweetwater, the orange cardboard textured pp was from a yard sale grab bag of this stuff in different colors ( no clue who makes it) The blue cardbase is bazzill and its lined inside with some Neenah cream ( smooth) there is a few more days left of this challenge if your all working on Fathers Day at the moment...

Clean & Simple Notecards

Just messing around, there was a "kraft" challenge on stamp tv recently ( not this week maybe a week or two ago) and I knew i wanted to use this new birdcage from the Springtime Silhouettes set and this almost made it self. Then i had to laugh when i uploaded it to Stamp TV... its almost a CASE of the cards i made for thank-you notes from my birthday last year. this one is A-6 in real life. I liked how it turned out so well i made 6 more like it (smaller) Frame & Sentiment are from the GKD lovely labels 2 set. These smaller cards are on SU kraft and the larger card above is on Gina K Kraft ( base weight) almost out of that, its totally yummy and need to remember to get more.
