Baroque Motifs

This is one of those all time favorite, versatile sets. I embossed Gold EP onto Gold card stock, then embossed the small white flowers. Add small half-pearls and you are done. An elegant creation, quick and easy.

CDS - Nutty 'Bout You

What fun I'm having with this Clear Dollar Stamps set. This post includes the envelope, the inside, and then the outside (alas I couldn't figure out how to change the order of the pictures, or to rotate the envelope). This is done using the Scrunch & Cling technique, with Walnut Ink, for the tree and the background piece. I stamped everything with Stazon. The Tree, Limb, Squirrel and Peanuts on the outside of the card are all cutout and put on (without being popped up). I think this will make a cute, non-traditional, Valentine.

Yvonne Albritton Designs

Yvonne Albritton Designs out of Renton WA creates some great stamps and she sells them with full color printout suggestions. This sporty fella was stamped onto generic white using Stazon. He was colored with my SU markers and highlighted with Crystal Effects. I sponged Barely Banana and a touch of Summer Sun around him then layered him onto some neat wall paper that I had laying around. Need to do a couple more of these because I have several grandsons.

Inspired by Nature II

This is the same card except that the sky is brayered Bashful Blue and then sponged with Baja Breeze.

Inspired By Nature

This fun card was created by brayering the sky with Barely Banana. I masked for the sun and sponged a little Apricot and Summer Sun onto the sun. Reversed the mask and sponged a little More Mustard onto the Sky. I created 'mountains' by tearing a post-it note and laying it down to brayer Chocolate Chip onto the card. I moved the post-it and brayered again, creating a little 'depth' to the scene. I stamped Inspired by Nature in Chocolate Chip and used the Su punch to create the cattails. Layer onto Brown and onto Vanilla and it's done.
Paper: Generic white, brown and vanilla
Ink: Barely Banana, Apricot, Summer Sun, More Mustard, Chocolate Cip
Accessories: Post-It, Punch

Bird Call Folder

This is the Bird Call Cuttlebug Folder done on a generic brown paper. DTP Brown Ink used gently over the top. Punch out cattails and glue on. Darken bird with Sharpie.

Last of Winter Birds

This Inkadinkadoo Winter Bird was done by sponging (I haven't mastered brayering yet) Barely Banana & Apricot on the moon, Soft sky and Not quite navy in the sky, Baja Breeze and Not quite Navy in the water. The bird was stamped in Not Quite Navy. That left too much blank space so I took tendrils of the bird stamp for the corners.
