A Little of This and That

Having fun for the past few weeks making cards using Papertrey Ink stamp and dies set called "brushed bloom". I used a mix of ink colors from Hero Arts and Memento.  I went through my sentiments and patten paper.  I am very happy with the way they came out.

 A couple more cards using Papertrey Inks, " Brushed Blooms stamps set ".  I used inks from Hero Arts (Passion Flower, Fresh Lawn), My Favorite Things (Banana Split) and Memento (Grape Jelly, Cottage Ivy).  Embossing folders from Sizzix (small dots) and We R Memory Keepers (larger dots). I used BAZZILL card stock in colors "Jelly Bean" and "Gummy Bear".  The label die cut used on the top card is a new die from Spellbinders called "Venise Lace" from their Designer Series.  Sentiment from Hero Arts. I hope to do more cards using this set real soon.

Here are a few cards that I made using Papertrey Ink stamp and die set called "Brushed Blooms" I hope to continue to make more cards from this beautiful set. I used various inks by Hero Arts and Memento. The pretty pattern paper is a paper pad by StampinUp called "All Abloom".  I added a panel of vellum over the pattern paper and added the flowers.  It gave it and nice look to the cards.  The birthday sentiment is a Hero Arts wood block stamp I purchased at my local Jo-ann's store.

A small piece of gift wrap left over.  I used one of my rectangle stitched die to cut out some panels. I ran a few through an embossing folder.  No bad for a last minute card idea.   Stamped sentiments came from Papertrey Ink. Gingham embossing folder: Cuttlebug Dotted embossing folder: We R Memory Keeper

The inspiration came from my winged little friends that visited my garden this year. The sentiments were heat embossed in gold embossing powder by Ranger.  Pattern paper by DCWV called Mariposa (a very old paper collection). The card on the left,  I used a Hero Arts butterfly and a Penny Black sentiment.  The "Thank-You" stamp is a Papertrey Ink that was stamped on vellum paper and heat embossed in gold. I used a few die cut shapes to cut out my panels.

Using one of my favorite stamps by Hero Arts .   I was playing with my Prisma colored pencils (a very hard media for me to use, but I am working on it). I stamped out the hydrangea image onto Strathmore Bristol smooth surface paper.   The ink I used was Versafine "onyx black ". Using a Micron black pen to add a hand drawn border.  I added gold dots to the card and also to the flower centers, Uni-ball gel impact gold pen. The life is beautiful, by Papertrey Ink .  Butterfly sticker.
