Light Tomorrow

This is another card for the current challenge

over at Less Is More

It calls for using wire somewhere on

your creation so I added a wire handle

to the Inky Antics image.

A die by SSS for the circle

and some Memento inks sponged

and it looks good to me.

CAS Thanks

I was going thru my spray mists to see which

ones worked and somehow this card happened.

I sprayed 3 colors of Memories Mists, stamped a floral image 

(by Prairie Rubber Stamps) 3 times, added some

corresponding colors with Copic markers and

some small bling stickers by Momenta.

Topped it off with a verse by Inky Antics

for a OLC!

I am entering this into the current challenges over at:

ATCAS "Off The Edge"

Casual Friday "3 Thirds"

LIM "One Layer Thank You"

Thank-Fall

Shining Lantern Sympathy

A dear friend passed away and I needed a quick sympathy card

so this was born.

The images by Inky Antics "Shining Lantern" set

Spellbinders "Petite Ovals"

Copic airbrushing and Distress Inks (sponged)

gold Krylon leafing pen

with papers and gems from my stash

along with a corner rounder punch

Truly a 5 minute card!

Swap Card

My card today is for a swap I joined over on

Midwest Stampers Yahoo group.

We had to do cards with a fall/harvest theme-do

you think this fits the bill?

I ran my brayer over some white glossy that I had inked with a K-pad 

"Desert Heat"and when that dried I stamped the Peddler's Pack image with

Versamark and embossed with detail black powder.

Then I trimmed and layered more black onto an orange base.

I brayered more glossy and punched a large leaf from that

and stamped the verse (by Inky Antics), popped it up and tied

some natural hemp fibers around the stem.

Pretty simple yes?  But pretty I think.

Thanks for looking!

Faux Embossing Folder

This card was done using an embossing folder I made with punches and cardboard.

I punched flower shapes from a piece of cardboard and adhered the shapes on a second piece so they would mesh.

Then I ran it all thru my Cuttlebug.

I masked the flowers and sponged inks around them but the scan is too light for

a good view.  So I rescanned at a darker color so you can better see the embossing.

Can you imagine the possibilities with this?

I punched 3 flower shapes in a row and like it

better than having a completely floral covered folder.

My embossing isn't very good as one of my g-kids managed to drop a bead into my Cuttlebug.

I tore it apart but AFTER my card was done.

Grandkids!  You gotta love 'em!!

Below is a darker scan and below that is my homemade template.
