Looking Down

Thought I would share a card I created a while back for a call that didn't get picked up.

I used one of Carina's old sneakery type sandals - basically just saturated it with a Jenni Bowlin paint dabber and then stamped it on my card.  I followed that up with this great Reverse Confetti sentiment.  It was stamped first in Saddle, and then just slightly offset with Chocolate ink.

A fitting card for a Wednesday, no?  Look up!  we're halfway through the week!

Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock:  Papertrey - Kraft; CTMH - White Daisy and Cocoa cardstock
Stamps:  Reverse Confetti - Dream in Color
Ink:  CTMH - Saddle and Chocolate
Other:  Ranger - Jenni Bowlin Brown Sugar Paint Dabber; Tombow - Mono Adhesive; Shoe

Live Your Life in Color - September SFYTT

Thought I would play along with the September sketch over at Reverse Confetti.

I primarily used the Dream in Color set, and some of my new CTMH papers, although the zigsag on the top and bottom of the black panel were created with a portion of the border from Peacock Pretties.  I wanted the card to be really neutral/color free except for the pops of color from the ribbon and the word color.

I had only planned to emboss the stamping on the black panel, but something funny happens when I start embossing in gold....somehow everything needs to be gold!  For the tag (which I also colored a bit with distress inks on the edges) and the background patterned paper, I just swiped my Versamark pad over the paper/edges and then sprinkled the embossing powder, removing some to create a really random look.

A very fun card to make!

Can't believe that we're already halfway through the week...this is one of those rare weeks where I keep thinking it's a day earlier than it actually is - which will be a great thing come Friday!

ETA:  I'm linking this one up with a few other challenges:  Moxie Fab World's All that Glitters is Gold challenge and Simon Says Stamp's Monday Embossing Challenge.

Hello Friend - Reverse Confetti SFYTT

I thought I would play along with Reverse Confetti's sketch for you to try this month.

I pulled out some papers from CTMH's new Babycakes collection, yup it's a baby/kid collection, but the B sides are so soft and pretty and versatile, perfect for the look I was going for.

All the stamps on this card are from Reverse Confetti's Peacock Pretties set.  The border isn't actually that long, I did a little masking to extend it the full length of the strip.  The feather was embossed on vellum and fussy cut.

Thanks for coming by!  Hope your week is off to a great start!

You & Me

 

Sharing a card today that I made a while back.  There's a little bit of all sorts of stuff here.

The stamps are from Reverse Confetti's Dream in Color set.  Flair from BossyJoscie, and papers from CTMH.  The pins are quilting T-pins.  I added some ribbon and then secured them with May Arts burlap string.  A little bit of washi tape and staples finished it off.

I'm going to link this one up over at Reverse Confetti.

Hope you are having a good weekend, busy here.  Bunch of cleaning today, gym, bike riding, and I took Carina to see her first movie:  Monsters U.  She wasn't as into being in the theater as Ellie was at her age.  Sat in my lap most of the time, and didn't necessarily pay attention the whole time.  She was very sad that they had to go home at the end, and this disturbed her the whole way home....go figure as I thought the ending was pretty happy....
