Whiff of Joy...

I really don't think I've done one of these before! I bought 6 of them from Loreen at Wish on a Scrap. I think this is my favorite one. But I will say that on the next one I color too!
I'm not going to bore you any more with my "I used this, and I used that"! I will put the recipe below!
Thanks for stopping by!
This is an after thought here. But those little dew drops on the corners. I punched out the same dp paper and put that behind them, so they would actually show their blue color. Otherwise i have found out, putting colored dew drops on different colored cs, makes them that color. So punch, dot of MS glue and VOILA, the same color dew drops you were looking for!

Stamp: Whiff of Joy
Medium: Prisma's and Copics
Paper: TAC and Bazzil
Embellishments: EKSuccess Punch, Dew Drops, Prima's, Ribbon (stash)

Distessed #3

Okay I am totally stressed now from distressing! I have to quit for awhile! LOL
I ripped this card apart. It looked so good in my head, wish you could of seen it! But once on paper, ummmm, just not happy with it. Then I took a pic of it and it looked even worse. So I decided to fix it up some. The {} in the back was made in my graphics. I got this printed before the blow up. Nesite for the oval. I have this great stencil and I used it on my oval. Its for paper piercing but I used one ply of DMC and a quilting needle to stitch the flower. Took me a long time to thread that needle! DMC floss was used for the stitching. Flower again, made with my SU flower punch, my now best friend! Swirls from my EKSuccess punch. The upper right corner i took a 2x2 piece of cs and folded it down to look like a flap i guess. Used my brads and this is the part I ripped apart! I added that border to it. Then i had printed off a long time ago, little library cards. I stressed that up and put it in the little pocket there.
Gee when I write it all out, doesn't sound like a lot of work! LOL

Night out...

This card has been in the making for about a week. This is one of those that you work on bits and pieces while you are re-grouping for the next card!
I LOVE black and white. The dotted paper is a DL from PinkPetticoat that I got when I bought some images, a lonnnngggg time ago. I printed that off on the puter.
The {} on the card I made in my graphics program. I want that Nestie that is shaped kind of like this, but this will have to do in the mean time. I had a total different direction I was taking with this card. I did the {} as a trial run, then I put in my cs and yes, I broke the printer! The cs I wanted to use was heavy, evidently to heavy for my printer. So blew that right up. I used a Swirls stamp set, not sure who it is by, and stamped in the {}. The Image was a gift to me. She is colored with Prisma's and copics. I added a little bit of cystal lacquer to the martini glass. The two black flowers are cut with a sizzix die and the ribbon, stash!
Little bits of bling on flowers and on her dress.
Hope everyone is having a great day!

Distressnig-De-stressing-Stressing

I'm not sure what this distressing is doing to me! I know its fun! This card went together a little faster than the other one. Not by much! Holly was colored with Prisma's and copics. The cs, stash bin. The ribbon is also from stash bin! Wire brads I picked up long ago on clearance from our tiny LSS. I used my paisley CB folder for the background. I have this wooden box my dad gave me years ago filled with everything from a workbench! I think its things he didn't want to put away so he just threw them in the big box and when it was full enough, gave it to me! I love digging through there, you name it, there is some little thing in there, like the little hinges! I thought they fit perfect on here. I just bought a new MS border punch and used that along with my swirl punch, up in the right corner. Flower was cut using my SU flower punch, button from my button tin. Used my DMC floss for the sewing and the button. TH distressed inks.
Thanks for stopping by, hope everyone is having a good week so far!

Distressing.....

Have you ever been "out of your element"? I love the distressed look on cards! I just think they have a very unique look. A good friend of mine, is the Queen of distress! She can take any image, any dp and make it look fab. Me? Well lets just say I have to do it with earth tones. But then I haven't tried any other colors really. This took me forever. I had fun, but actually had to walk away a few times to re-group the thinking process! Dp paper was easy. I bought this great kit from Loreen a while back and it has this great distress look to it. The base card is some very old cs I had in my stash that I knew I was saving for a reason! I used my TH ruler to make the stitch holes and sewed with DMC #938. The ribbon is awesome, double sided and cannot remember where I got it, maybe off ebay. I had the tag and added my gromet to it.The flowers were punched with my SU flower punch, I distressed the edges of those and used my TH distressed inks on the sides. The buttons from my button stash, sewn with #938. My chipboard elements are from TAC. I colored Holly with my prisma's and copics.
My hubby looked at it and said its a lot easier to distress wood with a hammer!
Thanks Joel! LOL
Thanks for stopping by and hope everyone has a great weekend!

Ever had...

a project you wanted to do but kept putting it off? Well thats what this one is. My dining room table was a total disaster so I thought well, might as well keep going! Over a year ago I bought 3 night lites off ebay. The ones where you decorate yourself. I bought them cuz my daughter was decorating the NOW Reese's room. She bought this great Tinkerbell border and was going to decorate the lite with some of that. Well that never got done and now they just bought a new house and so I made Reese her night lite. I peeled off the paper that protects the "sticky" backing. I traced that onto this great vellum that I've had for years! I just never had a need for the alphabet vellum! Until today! So that cut, I found some lacy ribbon in pink and trimmed the border. The image! I knew exactly the image to put on here. Victoria's Angel on the Moon rubber stamp. I stamped it out thinking I had to resize it. Which I didn't after all. I colored it with my prisma's and copics. I cut it out, cutting out the heart and stars seperate. I used my SooWang double sided tape and ran tiny strips around the edges. Then I wiggled it around to make it more supple to wrap on the curve. Then added my heart and stars seperate with glue. So one more project that was on my to-do list DONE!
Hope everyone had a great weekend! And got some quality stamping time in!

Isn't she cute! This is one of the new digi images at Victoria Case Art Design. This is the first and only Irish stamp I have! Trying to get it to look like a pot of gold was not easy! So I thought well I will go for the Noweign/Swedish look on her too! So this is what I came up with! The green for true Irish and the blond, blue eyed for the Norweign/Swedish! She is so much fun to color! All ingredients are things from my stash. I can't tell you the last time I went shopping for paper and bling!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Tilda in School!

This is for my Granddaughter Mariah. She is being tested in math to take advanced classes! Yuppers, gramma is proud! So I thought I would make a card for her. I colored Tilda with prisma's and copics. The ruler frame is another one of those stamps that I got rummage saleing! I colored that with my tombow markers. I put black cardstock behind to make it look like a blackboard, do they even have blackboards anymore? LOL Used my Inkssentials opaque white pen to do the math! The little flower is a felt flower from K&Company.
Thanks again for stopping by!

I love the 50's! Such a simple time and the cloths were classy! Housedresses were IN! These great images are from CollageStuff rubber stamps. I've had these for a couple of years and digging for the uninked stamps, I ran across these. So I dug out some retro paper, well what I thought was retro paper and created a few cards. They remind me of my mom when I was young back in the 50's. REAL YOUNG mind you! She dressed like this.

Thanks for stopping by my new blog! Same name, just wanted the newer version of blogger. Hope everyone is had a great week and is ready for the weekend!
