Happy Tuesday...

I almost typed Happy Monday... LOL Hope you all had a nice Memorial Day. The weather here was beautiful yesterday!

Just a quick card for you today. This card features a flower from "Fanciful Flowers" one of my favorite floral stamps sets by The Angel Company. Unfortunately it's been added to the discontinued list so you won't see it in the upcoming Fall/Winter catty.

I started making this card for a challenge over at PaperWings but realized I hadn't followed the directions, and I was the one who created the challenge! I thought I'd share it with you anyway... I used DCWV Blue #1 and Purple #3 cardstock, white cardstock, and Palette inks Starry Night & Giverny Green. I also used a paper piercer to punch holes on the white cardstock mat & used a edge distresser on the purple mat to add some detail to the image.

Thanks for looking!

Color Challenge #3

I created this card for a challenge on the PaperWings message board for TAC demonstrators.

 

I used DCWV Matchmakers cardstock Pink #1 and Pink#2.  I colored the image (from Everyday Events) using Prismacolor Colored pencils & gamsol and Tombow markers.

Greatest Gift...

This is one of my favorite quotes. This particular sentiment is from Papertrey ink's Father Knows best stamp set. It truly is such a versatile sentiment!

For some reason my scanner & camera does not pick up the true color of the patterned paper. It's actually a little lighter IRL.

 

I discovered that I like the brown ink better than black with this patterned paper. I used Palette ink "Cognac" to stamp the sentiment. The image stamped behind the sentiment is from The Angel Company's Floral Dingbat set (item # T-2744) ... another versatile stamp set. I like versatile... could you tell?? LOL

Oops...

I meant to scheduled this post for May 1st but I accidently selected June 1st! LOL It does make sense after all to post Mother's Day cards before Father's Day!

These are a few Mother's Day cards for my Moms and sisters.

 

These cards came together really quickly! This PaperTrey Ink patterned paper made it very easy!

I'm not sure I like the black ink, but at least they are finished!

I also used the Mother's Day sentiment from The Angel Company's "Trendy Greetings" stamp set, PTI's White cardstock, Aqua Mist cardstock, ink, & ribbon, along with Palette Noir.

Thanks for looking!

Happy National Scrapbook Day

Just wanted to share a layout with you all. This one measures 8x8...

The patterned paper is by The Angel Company from a collection called "Hip-Hop." It's a great collection for those boy and summer themed pages & cards. I also used circle stamps from TAC from a set called Circle Sampler.

Have a SCRAPPY day!!!  :)

Pick a sentiment...

Here's a Father's Day version of this card... Birthday Tree

I forgot to mention... that patterned paper is from Basic Grey's new Archaic collection.
