Heartfelt thanks...

Still doing cards behind-the-scenes for catalog work (which I'm really excited about), so I'll just show a quick card today that I created for the Splitcoast Stampers Clean and Simple Challenge! If you have time, why not play with the current sketch challenge!

Thought of you today...

Here's a sweet card I created for the Splitcoast Stampers Clean and Simple challenge! I love my fancy cards, but the CAS look is growing on me! I just need to learn how to keep it clean, especially when I have so many embellishments lying around! Heck, I didn't even put a ribbon on it, which is rare indeed for me!

Of course, this was a very quick card to make! I folded a piece of Bazzill cardstock and used Spellbinders™ Grand Labels Twenty-Three Grand Nestabilities® to cut out my card. To do this technique you place the folded edge just inside the die, run it through your Grand Calibur® machine, and you get a die cut card.

I embossed a white piece of cardstock with M-Bossabilities™ "Flower Fun - Side B" and cut out three strips of 3 flowers and adhered them to peach cardstock. I used Copic Marker R22 for the flower centers. I attached my three floral pieces to my card and stamped a sentiment from Sweet 'n Sassy with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

For my final touch, I created a pretty flower using Shapeabilities® Bauble Blossom Two. I airbrushed the blossom while it was still in the die with Copic Markers, then assembled my flower and used a pretty pearl brad for the center. I added it to my card and was pleased with the results!

Featured Stamper...

That's right! I am the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast Stampers this week!! I'm so excited and honored to be chosen! It's so wonderful seeing so many card makers going through my gallery and picking out a card they like, then trying to recreate another card like it! It's called CASEing a card and it's the highest form of flattery in my opinion. Click HERE to see how it all works!
