Less is More

the challenge is on for a

one layer card with geometric shapes.

I inked the shape stamp by MFT

with a Kpad "Desert Heat"

As that pad is a dye ink I first inked the stamp with my 

Versamark pad and then the dye pad so I could

heat emboss (thus did not have to dig for

a pigment pad).

The word stamps (by Technique Tuesday)

were stamped the same way.

I added a few gems to perk it up a bit.

Very simple, very OLC and (I hope)

very adequate white space?

Iridescent Glimmer Card

This is one of those cards that look awesome IRL, but 

not-so-great scanned.

I will describe how I did this and you can imagine

just how magnificent it is ok?

I stamped a crackle background stamp by Red Castle

with white pigment ink and heat set it.

Then I dampened a sponge and dabbed into 2 colors

of dye inks and rubbed it over the glossy cardstock

till blended and rubbed more with a paper towel

to buff it well.

Then I stamped the floral image by 

Technique Tuesday with dye ink.

It gives a glow of iridescent glimmer

to the background that doesn't scan so well.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Sponged Spots

The background for this card is nothing more than

pouncing cotton balls dipped in inkpads

here and there.

Then I stamped the flowers (by Technique Tuesday)

and added the verse and some flowers by Prima.

I think the verse is by Great Impressions.....

I'm too lazy to go run that stamp down to make sure...

Pierced Paper Art

Simple as it gets yes?  

This card uses an image by Technique Tuesday.

I stamped the image and then pierced a flourish as a stand-in for a stem

before adding a ribbon.

Hope it cheers up my neighbor who is undergoing a long regimen of chemo right now.
