Sheltering Tree

This is a retired set from SU!  I really liked the tree, but have not used this set very often.  (I need to fit an owl in that tree! ) 

I saw a card with buttons in the tree and had to try it myself.  Very simple, I did the rock and roll technique to get a variation of color in the leaves.  I left a sentiment off for now, until I decide what to use the card for.  

Happy Hoolidays

Owls seem to be all over the place right now.  These 2 cards made with a santa hat from a SU! set.  I used  liquid applique and a Ranger EP for details.  I think they came out cute!  

violin snowman

I got this stamp on clearance from Stampington, because my son plays the violin and I thought it would make a cute card.  I colored with copics, which I am not to good at yet.  The snowman himself is flocked.  I cased the card form Cardmaker magazine, on the cover.  I liked the layout.  

Portland Head Lighthouse

I really like how this card came out.  I used a Dreamweaver stencil and Santa over Portland Head Light from Repeat Impressions.  The tiles are embossed with clear EP.  This technique is  not a quickie, but the results are usually fantastic.  

Altered Tins

I made some altered tins to hold trading cards and other things.  Emma really enjoyed making one as well.  I will post hers later if she will give it up for a few minutes.  She keeps asking me to let her make more.  

silhouette card

More fun with the silhouette stamps.  This is another from Starving Artistamps, embossed and then the ink was wiped away.  I think it needs a sentiment, but I will wait until I need a card to do that.  

cuttlebug fun

I had to make 2 birthday cards and wanted to try some inking on a cuttlebugged impression.  I like how they came out.  I used a brayer and filled in with a cotton ball the bare spots.  

silhouette card

I haven't posted in a while, not that I haven't been creating, just too lazy to take a picture, send to email, post to blog.....  I really don't know how people find the time to post to their blog every day.  There must be  a short cut I am missing.  

This was a simple card to make and I think it looks very elegant.  The stamp is from a sheet of rubber from Starving Artistamps of all silhouette flowers.  I'm really enjoying this type of stamp.
