<br />
I am sorry I just fell off the planet there for a little while. It has been a little crazy around here with the Holidays and general baby stuff. On top of the general craziness that seems to be my life my Hubby has been traveling a ton and working lots of long days. Having said that, I have been making a few cards and doing my other crafts. I think that I might have a craft addicition as I am currently working on at least five non-stamping projects including my first quilt.<br />
<br />
In my last post I mentioned some projects that I wasn't able to share. Well, here they are. I had applied for a contest with Tattered Angels and since I didn't make it in, I can share these with you now. They are, naturally, Tattered Angels product heavy. :-)<br />
<br />

</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On this first card I sprayed the background with Gold Glimmer Mist and let that dry. I then cut out the chandelier from QuicKutz with my Epic 6 in plain ol' cardstock. I placed that cardstock over my gold colored cardstock and spritzed with Graphite Glimmer Mist. I dried this with my heat gun and added a little Black Soot Distress Ink around the edges. The sentiment is from Fancy Pants and the frame is from Tattered Angels' Glimmer Chips Regal. To color the frame I first sprayed the whole frame with Gold Glimmer Mist and then added Viva Pink on the lower edge while the gold was still wet. The hanging "crystals" are die cuts from QuickKutz cut out of white cardstock and colored the same way as the frame. The pink ribbon is from Stampin' Up and the gems are from Hero Arts. The pink cardstock is also Stampin' Up.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love this photo. My brother took this of our daughter asleep on my shoulder. For this project I started with a stretched canvas which I painted with Adirondack acrylic paints first in Pitch Black and once that was dry with Snow Cap and Red Pepper mixed to make pink. I don't currently have any pink so I improvised. :-) Once that dried, I distressed the edges with a saning block so the black paint would peak through. I then added a healthy amount of fine glitter. After allowing the glue to dry I sprayed the glitter with Viva Pink Glimmer Mist. I mounted my photo to a piece of cardstock that I had colored with Glimmer Mist in Black Cherry and the Fanciful Stencils Glimmer Screens. The corner pieces and the lock are Glimmer Chips from the Regal set and colored with Viva Pink Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Glam in Lipstick Pink. Although the Glimmer Chips are self adhesive I glued them down just to be sure they would stay. I then added the flowers from Prima with gem brads from My Mind's Eye. I cut out the sentiment using my Silhouette Digital Cutter. You can't really see the last step in the photo, but I added a pink ribbon around the edge of the canvas.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1bhohg6iC9P5VMgKwpRfdv_HHObGL9AJIY28beEwAJnvEYS4sGjbvdUS8z6ZN3k1vYC0bduOC0VMbU9d9oRo2bOw5ar5TcSPCpdnOODf9r7U2vxN1zRGbhsuwHtA9Q0si5Rj4Ig/s1600/DSCF2315.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1bhohg6iC9P5VMgKwpRfdv_HHObGL9AJIY28beEwAJnvEYS4sGjbvdUS8z6ZN3k1vYC0bduOC0VMbU9d9oRo2bOw5ar5TcSPCpdnOODf9r7U2vxN1zRGbhsuwHtA9Q0si5Rj4Ig/s320/DSCF2315.JPG" width="248" /></a></div><br />
I love the way this card turned out. I made the background with Patina Glimmer Mist and Pealed Paint Distress Re-Inker and Gold Perfect Pearls mixture along with the Fleur-De-Lis Glimmer Screen from the Fanciful Screens Set. I then used the new Chalkboard Glimmer Mist in Cornflower on the heart diecut. The heart is out of white cardstock and was cut-out using my Silhouette Digital Die Cutter. I hadn't ever used this product before but I really liked it. Once that was dry I added the ribbon and the Glimmer Chips. Both of the Glimmer Chips were from the Regal set. The Fleur-De-Lis was colored using Silver Sugar and Patina Glimmer Mist and crown was colored with Gold Glimmer Mist. The gems are from My Little Yellow Bicycle. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I have two more projects but I think that I'll save those for another day.

<br />
Sorry I have been MIA recently. I was working on a project that I cannot share just yet and then my horse decided to get a fairly serious injury. He is going to be okay, but it has been a lot of doctoring recently. <br />
<br />
Today's card was created using Tim Holtz's rusted enamel technique and all of the shapes were cut using my Silhouette. Silhouette has recently upgraded the software that runs the machine. There has been a little learning curve but so far I am really liking the program. It seems a little more sophisticated and gives the user more control. I know I have said it before but I really love this machine!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFgq3Wq5byPWmGrl6sqXLZv-fuHBxIIS5Gm1Oj25WIscjFJUnPgUuZtwjnedrJgdMYgT1KT95gqAtLYkmzAa-ohpl96qE-_pyWRvDwWHYjmWQcmXp4TXQcFGqVWuinca5M0Sk-ag/s1600/IMG_1969.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFgq3Wq5byPWmGrl6sqXLZv-fuHBxIIS5Gm1Oj25WIscjFJUnPgUuZtwjnedrJgdMYgT1KT95gqAtLYkmzAa-ohpl96qE-_pyWRvDwWHYjmWQcmXp4TXQcFGqVWuinca5M0Sk-ag/s320/IMG_1969.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
My first step was to cut out two of the nested shapes (Artisans Nesting Rectangle) out of white cardstock. I inked the larger with Vintage Photo Distress Ink using my handy dandy ink blending tool.On the smaller shape I did the enamel technique using Weathered Wood and Vintage Photo Distress Ink and clear embossing powder. I then cut out two circles adding Vintage Photo Distress Ink to the larger and repeating the rusted enamel on the smaller circle. I didn't flick off as much embossing powder this time and so the circle is a little more shinny. I then took my medallion shape (Medallion Flourish) and inked on Vintage Photo. I felt like it didn't "pop" enough for me so I spritzed it with my mini mister filled with Vintage Photo re-Inker and Perfect Pearls in Copper. Just the right about of sparkle. I cut four of the large flowers and six small (3 Flowers), I removed the cut-outs out of on the small flowers. I added Antique Linen to the flowers and then shaped them into the flower shape and added My Minds Eye Lush brads. These brads rock!<br />
<br />
For my finishing elements I added two brown organza ribbons, the smaller is from Creative Impressions and the larger ribbon was recycled from a present. I added two bronze brads to hold the ribbon in place. I assembled everything and voila! You can see a detailed photo below.<br />

<br />
We have returned from our short vacation to Southern Colorado to visit my husband's family. We had a wonderful time and I have been working hard to get back into the swing of things. Here are a few cards for you today. <br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">To start we have a thank you card, I know that I make a lot of thank you cards but I always needing more. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I first stamped the damask design from Heidi Swapp in Bundled Sage Distress Ink on a white piece of cardstock and then using Vintage Photos I lightly stamped french text over the card base, the stamp is Stampin' Up's En Francais. Next, using my ink blending tools I applied Bundled Sage, Mustard Seed and Wild Honey. I cut the label using the Spellbinders Label Two set. I left the die on the label and sponged it with Tea Dye Distress Ink. Next I stamped the sentiment from Waltzing Mouse Stamps Victorian Frippery in Bundled Sage. I added the two ribbons and fiber to the card mounted on a piece of Certainly Celery cardstock. I adhered the flowers from Prima, added the Hero Arts gems and attached the gem brad from My Minds Eye. Volia! </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have been watching a few YouTube videos on making flowers and here is my attempt at a layered flower. I cut out nine daisy shapes using my Silhouette machine. I made each flower about 1/4 inch smaller. I painted each flower with red watercolor paint. Once dry, I adhered the flowers together and spritzed them with Perfect Pearls in water. For the background I stamped the damask shapes from Papertry Ink's Damask Designs set using Pixie Dust chalk ink. I used a little Tea Dye Distress Ink around the edges and adhered the background to a piece of pink cardstock. I then added the peach ribbon. My last step was to add the small gem from Hero Arts. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My last card for today features the new Wanda's Pantry Stamp Set from Waltzing Mouse Stamps. I stamped the Love label image using Memento Ink. I colored it with an assortment of cool grey Copic markers (C5, C7, C9) and R27. I cut the black label using Spellbinders Label Four set. I stamped the background using an image from Papertrey's Giga Guidelines set, I used Going Grey from Stampin' Up. I then sponged over the background using Going Grey ink with a little Weathered Wood and black Soot on the edges. I then roughed up the edges and added it to a black piece of black cardstock. I added the grey organza ribbon and a little red ribbon. I love this set but just haven't had much time to use it yet. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My first card is for my cousin in-law who is a nurse. Just a little note to say "hi." A few years a go there was a cartoon called the Animanics and one of the characters always said "Hello Nurse." So, I thought that I'd use that sentiment on this card. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I love this stamp I find that very versatile! I broke out the real glitter, versus Stickles for this card. As a result I am finding little pieces of glitter all over the house. I have actually picked a few pieces off the baby. I use the Art Institute Art Glitter Designer Adhesive when I work with glitter along with the Ultrafine Metal Tip. I feel like this gives me the most control over the glue and I feel like the adhesive really holds the glitter in place. I will say that I do clean the metal tip after each use by soaking it in soapy water and then making sure that all of the adhesive is out of it with a small pin. It can be a bit of a hassle but then I don't have to struggle with picking dried glue out of the tip later. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My last card for the day is something I made for another card maker and I hope that she enjoyed getting it.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A quick tip: When I use Distress Inks with clear stamps I usually load the stamp with Versamark Ink first. I find that this minimizes the ink beading that can sometimes happen with clear stamps. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love the Cheeky Cherry stamps from The Greeting Farm! I thought that I would try a challenge from the <a href="http://www.colormecopic.blogspot.com/">Color Me Copic blog</a>. The challenge was to color using black and white. I went with the warm tone grey copics. The circle stamp is Butterfly from Inkadinkado and was stamped using Pumice Stone Distress Inks. I then stamped the long image which is from Technique Tuesday and is called Bijou Borders, also stamped in Pumice Stone. I sponged the background and stamped the sentiment from Fancy Pants. The gems are from Basic Grey and are grey and clear. I really enjoyed this challenge!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So my first card for today features the awesome Cheeky Rockabilly from The Greeting Farm. I colored her with my Copic markers added Hero Arts gems and layered her to two cardstock ovals, that I cut with my Spellbinders dies. I aged the DP with Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Inks and mounted those pieces to Glorious Green CS from Stampin' Up. The edge punch is from EK Sucess. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up's Warmest Regards set. I think that she turned out pretty cute!</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

All of the images on this card are from the Fancy Pants Bella Brush set. I used Antique Linen, Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo Distress Inks. My card base started as a piece of white cardstock and I just kept adding ink and stamped images. The ribbon is from Creative Impressions, flowers are from Prima and the gems and pearls are from Hero Arts, the brads in the center of the flowers are from My Minds Eye. <br />

Thank you for stopping by!Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01753551162652238208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19030145.post-74585572662024252762010-07-08T09:37:00.001-06:002010-07-08T09:38:33.632-06:00Cards for July 8thI hope that everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. We loaded up the baby and dogs and headed to my parent's house. There is a new development just south of their house and we can watch the fireworks from the deck. It is so nice. The horses are not huge fans but they seem to stay pretty calm but do go in and out of the barn a lot to keep an eye on things. We slept with the windows open and were awakened at 4 am not by the baby but by coyotes right outside the window. Okay they weren't right outside but they were close and they were loud. Luckily the barn cat was still there in the morning.<br />
<br />
For my first card today I attempted something a little different. I wanted to make a shabby chic card versus my normal distress. I tried to explain what shabby chic is to my husband and I decided that it is like distress only with white as the main color. Not sure that really describes it but that was the best I could do.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzdLtjbAEPPrM3XMtv4cLbU6l2lkj0AOkGJRNh2TJ5CLnObYbtlrTZg_7Q8GKlI6MUHQu-QSSa-oXpFhIkoOtuZmvUXh0cobaxcdGEYBkBLjW4UaZJqDNMe-fi-8hY7Ov3BuSoeA/s1600/DSCF2273.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" rw="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzdLtjbAEPPrM3XMtv4cLbU6l2lkj0AOkGJRNh2TJ5CLnObYbtlrTZg_7Q8GKlI6MUHQu-QSSa-oXpFhIkoOtuZmvUXh0cobaxcdGEYBkBLjW4UaZJqDNMe-fi-8hY7Ov3BuSoeA/s320/DSCF2273.JPG" /></a></div><br />
I used my Silhouette Digital cutter to cut out the bird cage, the bird, the roses and the word "Dream." I used a font called Be Safe.<br />
<br />
I started with the background by cutting a piece of white cardstock. Using Spun Sugar Distress Ink I stamped the background using Hero Arts Antique Flower stamp. I then used Antique Linen Distress Ink to stamp over the flowers with a stamp from Fancy Pants. I the went over the edges of the paper with Spun Sugar and Victorian Velvet Inks. I distressed the edge with my paper distresser. I then mounted that to a piece of pink paper that I also distressed the edge and inked lightly with Antique Linen Distress Ink.<br />
<br />
Next, I went to work on my embellishments. I started with the birdcage. I cut it out of white cardstock and then inked it with Antique Linen Distress Ink and then added the pink and clear gems from Hero Arts. The bird was also cut using my Silhouette and then painted with Antique Linen crackle paint. It did curl up but I set a little weight (I use an old small glass bowl for a weight) on it when I glued it to my card. I layered on the pink ribbon which I received in a mystery box I ordered from My Sentiment's Exactly but I suspect that it is from Creative Impressions. I added my bird and birdcage. Next I painted the grungeboard key hole with pink and white paint from Ranger. I was actually a mix of red, white and pearl paints since I don't have pink. I painted it in several layers because I wasn't happy with the color. I adhered this to my card using off-white eyelets. I then adhered my "Dream" to the card and once that was dry I added Rock Candy Distress Stickles. (It's hard to see in the photo it is a very subtle bling).<br />
<br />
My last step for the card was to create the tiny roses. I used a new release in the Silhouette Machine store called 3D Rose. I made these pretty small, the flat roses are about one inch in size and the completed roses are around one centimeter. I inked the pink and tan roses before rolling them, using Spun Sugar and Tea Dye Distress Inks. I rolled the other two roses and then applied ink on the edges only. These can be a little tricky to roll up but I found that gluing them at the half-way point and letting that dry before rolling the rest was helpful. You might want to cut them out of a lighter weight of paper.Once I glued those on we were set.<br />

My second card today was also created with images purchased and cut with my Silhouette. It was a very simple card but I really like how it turned out. I started by cutting my images out with the Silhouette and then inked them with my Distress Inks and Ink Blending Tools. I used Wild Honey, Barn Door and Vintage Photo. I then adhered the Mendi images to my layered card and added Stickles. Easy Peasy!<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">My first card today is a very summer inspired card. The plaid element was created using Ranger Alcohol Inks and the Alcohol Ink Applicator. To start I placed small puddles of each color on the applicator and applied the inks in a single direction on to the glossy white cardstock, the I reapplied the inks and brushed the applicator in the opposite direction. Once that was dry I used Archival Ink to stamp the dragonfly. The dragonfly is from the Tattered Angel's Field Notes stamp set. I then stamped the swirls from the same set using Adirondack Paint in Pearl.

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">This card is a variation of an earlier card, please see that card here <a href="http://badablingblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/mothers-day-card.html">http://badablingblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/mothers-day-card.html</a>. On the background I stamped the damask images in the same manner as the earlier card but I used Victorian Velvet and Spun Sugar Distress Inks to color in the background. On the edges I added Dusty Concord and Black Soot. I added Gurngeboard hinges by Tim Holtz that I painted with Pewter Crackle Paint. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Giga Guide Lines Set. I colored the center of the flourish using Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Inks. The paper flowers are from Prima and the gems are from Hero Arts and Basic Grey. I don't know if you can tell from the photo but the large gems are grey. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">My last card for today was made with Technique Tuesday's Parisian Market stamp set and an assortment of Distress Inks. I stamped the background images using Broken China on a white piece of cardstock and then I used my Ink Blending tool to add the ink over the images. I used Tumbled Glass, Old Paper, Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge Distress Inks. I stamped the large element with Embossing Ink and the embossed with Distress Embossing Powder in Walnut Stain. The oval is a piece of Grundeboard painted with Gold Paint from Adirondack by Ranger.The Fleur-de-Lys is a punch from EK Success. The ribbon is from Creative Impressions.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I had made some backgrounds and accent pieces and I finally put a few together to make some cards. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Because</span> some parts of these cards have been around for awhile it might be a challenge for me to remember all of the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">techniques</span> or colors I used but I thought I'd share anyway. </div><div> </div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 341px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474942714483054370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSuv3GrQctA-KoP3PE0TlkmtMH60dg7oMPgjyzPE-H7dE0w9kVDW2P84rc7BtDcxr8FKxgCKp0HrPyESynmTVM4Zsmkm1Qfx1tkWo2DjBc94WqpdQFU1p4qlENcdoJFffIjgRfxw/s400/DSCF2251.JPG" /></div><div>For this purple card I applied ink to a piece of white <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span> using sponges (I am pretty sure they were Distress Inks). Once I was happy with the background I let it dry <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">thoroughly</span>. I then stamped over the ink with <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Versamark</span> ink, the stamp is Regal from Tattered Angels. I then embossed with clear embossing powder. Once that cooled I mixed Twilight Purple and Espresso Adirondack paint on my craft sheet, I made sure that the two colors weren't completely mixed and I then applied the paint over my background with a makeup sponge. I gave that just a minute to dry and then took a damp paper towel and rubbed the paint off of the embossed swirls. I live in Colorado and things dry fast here. </div><div> </div><div>The damask image was cut from white <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span> using my Silhouette. I then painted the image with Silver Adirondack paint and let it dry. My final step was to assemble everything. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 316px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474942718531970562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf8-aGv_DcmZtTKu0RDFagW-CzTlTxWbv_TpvfL8rgWWHLSVxLy8WNt1JhWr5AedISyTIO_xjd4NzjyZZH61iOEXgu4GReI0VhJVNqDJlRSGdmJPDy033t3rmq8K0joIXE2oVskg/s400/DSCF2249.JPG" /></div><div>For the background of this card, I again applied Distress Inks to a piece of white <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span>. I had cut out the "Rock Star" with my Silhouette for another project and used the negative as a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">stencil</span> and colored in with Distress Inks. I then stamped a variety of images with more Distress Inks. The wings are from Regal Flourish Set by Tim <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Holtz</span> for Stampers Anonymous. The heart was cut using my Silhouette. To color the heart I spritzed Fired Brick <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">reinker</span> and water on my craft sheet then rubbed my heart in the pool of color. I then repeated the process with Gold Glimmer Mist. </div><div> </div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 291px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474942738551131970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqP3mZIwLCZOzCBRJM8J3Hwf0b6rtIyoLx7xbhaqOlXU_uJpzyDM_SGYph79tEuuRCab1fDxFS52eLPW4zIqscUD5K3fnEbZrdf7hhM_QUtPjcRkMT4AMgG3sjFd6xKGusXBraRg/s400/DSCF2246.JPG" /></div><div>For this card I used a few techniques that I have described before here on my blog so I'll just list the products. Stamps: La Letter - Hero Arts, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">Giga</span> Guide Lines - <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Papertrey</span> Ink, Thank You - <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">Inkadinkado</span>, Inks - Assorted Distress Inks, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">Noir</span> Palette Ink.

The highland Cow is from the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error">QuicKutz</span> Scotland set. I cut him out of white <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span> and then colored him with Distress Inks and my Ink Blending Tool. The frame is from Spellbinders and the paper was just some random paper I picked up at the store.<br /><br />I know a little disjointed and maybe a little odd, but I was trying to get this posted while a little someone was napping. Have a great week!<br /><br /><br /></div><div></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01753551162652238208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19030145.post-53577176751076304512010-05-21T06:51:00.004-06:002010-05-21T07:32:22.080-06:00Dreaming in the Garden<div>The other day I was cutting out some Russian nesting dolls with my Silhouette and had a little extra room on the last piece so I threw in a small piece of fencing.

I did manage to sneak in a card over the course of a few days, working a few minutes at a time. I made this card for my mom for Mother's Day.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 318px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470806781682267490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9kgR6YrTrt2C3ShyphenhyphenBYP3T3ZADO2j-_yg16TTlvdNS4cmD5N0H7YzgzOtotcoQJpN6XZH9fwcfRNLe2Hb2bvaBH_Lgqhs7IOhyIKUDvqltyZfBUUpMf2qOF6W5tN08uDX1d2Lfw/s400/DSC_1126.JPG" /></div><div><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 315px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470806777901128034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtbmOtS134NjPbwumya08CkLr7aPQ6tJQRBcgKzAaCxfbnvurRyM5qlB6Kd9FC_ds12Xz_DW7ZW1lINYNp4gnIMPCrvoqsJmdfcR-4_qg7IesA2I_t3-EC1HAgin_-Eh4RNWo7iw/s400/DSC_1125.JPG" />I started by cutting out the frame and flowers using my Silhouette Machine. Both elements were purchased from Silhouette. I added text to the center of the frame prior to cutting it out. The text says "Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever." Once cut out I inked the center oval with Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap Distress Inks. I then inked the frame with Weathered Wood and Black Soot Distress Inks. My next step was to color the flowers, for these I used Milled <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Lavender</span> and Dusty Concord. To give the flowers a little shape I pressed each petal around a small dowel (aka cuticle stick).<br /><br />For the background, I stamped the damask image from Great Impressions in Dusty Concord and then embossed with clear embossing powder. I am loving this stamp and I am sure you will see more of it. I then applied Milled <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Lavender</span> over all of the background, then Dusty Concord <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">keeping</span> mostly to the edges. To give added depth to the colors I added Weather Wood and Black Soot Distress Inks around the edges. Once that had a chance to dry I used my Distressing Tool to rough up the edges, added a black organza ribbon from Creative Impressions and adhered the background to a black piece of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span>. I assembled the card and added gems from My Little Yellow Bicycle and Hero Arts.<br /><br />A pretty simple but high impact card. I hope you all have a wonderful day!Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01753551162652238208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19030145.post-49464866606517560952010-04-21T10:43:00.003-06:002010-04-21T11:14:03.481-06:00A few cardsHi All -<br /><br />I know that I have been MIA for a little while. We are still waiting for the baby to arrive and as we get closer it is harder for me to get these cards created and posted. I do have a few quick cards to share today.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAPQn2uNlKpfeHIkHmPQHwW8ZQdNqRIvnfSGTb71Oa2mWVCFRZvlyWdAFkyKrEDkAqNGyCmHNIp-2df56kzF_WEDYrYQMHgvOVQaI5BaNZH3D-9fUgyMykTsSP3Si4yY2nHHiE6w/s1600/DSC_1058.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 331px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462634178755401202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAPQn2uNlKpfeHIkHmPQHwW8ZQdNqRIvnfSGTb71Oa2mWVCFRZvlyWdAFkyKrEDkAqNGyCmHNIp-2df56kzF_WEDYrYQMHgvOVQaI5BaNZH3D-9fUgyMykTsSP3Si4yY2nHHiE6w/s400/DSC_1058.JPG" /></a><br />For the crane card I started with a light blue piece of cardstock for the base. I then cut out the crane from the QuicKutz Japan set. I actually cut him out of white cardstock and colored in the various parts with Copic markers. I then glued him together and set him aside to dry. I then cut out the temple out of black cardstock. The Chinese characters stamp is from Inkadinkado and I stamped it with Embossing Ink from Ranger and then embossed with Gold Zing! EP from American Crafts. I then mounted the red cardstock to Brushed Gold cardstock from Stampin' Up! I added a gold brad and assembled the card. My last step was to add the Hand Stamped from Stampin' Up! with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink from Ranger.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicoGCsh4TNRFZ4imlDerK-3PGRtc-SGx1zUuRULoRhsNDgGarZCn6P-hNQAaHZAggTUilFLf5Ar4T7uLaR6ni27m7FT4F8dQ5laSHfUmOJtnrId9EkoQPmJzsqxslJPGoBNUWRvQ/s1600/DSC_1054.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 288px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462634174805784002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicoGCsh4TNRFZ4imlDerK-3PGRtc-SGx1zUuRULoRhsNDgGarZCn6P-hNQAaHZAggTUilFLf5Ar4T7uLaR6ni27m7FT4F8dQ5laSHfUmOJtnrId9EkoQPmJzsqxslJPGoBNUWRvQ/s400/DSC_1054.JPG" /></a> </div><div>I made 20 of these carrots for my Baby Shower. I cut out the carrot box from Silhouette. The bunny is also an image from Silhouette and added that to the carrot so there would be a bunny shaped hole when I cut the box. Once cut, I glued a piece of cardstock behind the bunny and then I added the green glitter. I made half of these with green bunnies and half with pink bunnies. I then glued my boxes together and filled them with candy and tied on the green ribbon.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL3ZB4SxcpPouNY5KILz10UVLnkud4lKfW5AE9r1WTPZfYy8zFePR0jNO6nf3hRsgiGvkwqOz0OHo9BHekLFe4-sBMQx2UcnAgyZJeHXKbnEGmOzs4Cx9LjEhOCvZ3R8unidJ-yg/s1600/DSC_1052.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 316px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462634165411126882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL3ZB4SxcpPouNY5KILz10UVLnkud4lKfW5AE9r1WTPZfYy8zFePR0jNO6nf3hRsgiGvkwqOz0OHo9BHekLFe4-sBMQx2UcnAgyZJeHXKbnEGmOzs4Cx9LjEhOCvZ3R8unidJ-yg/s400/DSC_1052.JPG" /></a><br /><br />This last card was made for our vet that did our French Bulldog's spay. The staff and vet were great and really made us feel at ease. I broke out my Silhouette cutter for this one, I added the oval to my software and added the paw print in the center. This is similar to the bunny boxes in that are cutting a shape within a shape. I added color to the oval using assorted Tim Holtz Distress Inks. The stamps are from Tattered Angels. I made sure to let the ink dry before I added the glitter. I stamped the Thank You from Papertrey Ink on the background, added brads and then assembled the card.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>That is all for today.

My OB said last week that she could come at anytime now, hopefully she'll wait until after our baby shower. I just packed my hospital bag today and put the car set in my car so I guess we are getting pretty close to ready. With all of that, I did manage to sneak in a card today. :-) </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>This card is for my dad who helped me move one of my horses to a new barn and came with me to check-out a horse trailer. Being almost nine months pregnant makes some of this stuff a little challenging.<br /></div><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 329px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451631440237254642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirHVtsqwdfRxsxN1raVLO_-jj8Q7gNUUEAaNVZJ8qfB_lHdsWSVbq0SmgPMe3QWsRIt7qXyW7Lxu8jH0g7bEz5fVJy26JYmzkKAalxr4ZJkwXRpaOYpW87d95MnGhNhDN-c8cCkw/s400/DSC_1047.JPG" /></p><br /><p>I began with a 4"x 5 1/4" piece of white cardstock. I had cut out my own mask using acetate and my Silhouette machine. The shape is one that you can purchase from the online store. It took several passes to get the acetate cut but I am pretty happy with the results. I laid the mask on my cardstock and sprayed the paper with my Tim Holtz mini-Mister filled with Vintage Photo reinker and Perfect Pearls in Gold. </p><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3aQKmROSjk3oRpRSZY9tY7_p4oLPyzqRuAQHcukLQBlIhgXMe9ooQUcbSnWhPDZmwONuXZm2bnI9zQKzE4zkaptl245S7JiGew23xm3jc9OP11L_JAfIvGXGGHq4a1X4AsSStlQ/s1600-h/DSC_1031.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 285px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451632058616652946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3aQKmROSjk3oRpRSZY9tY7_p4oLPyzqRuAQHcukLQBlIhgXMe9ooQUcbSnWhPDZmwONuXZm2bnI9zQKzE4zkaptl245S7JiGew23xm3jc9OP11L_JAfIvGXGGHq4a1X4AsSStlQ/s400/DSC_1031.JPG" /></a> I removed my mask and dried the paper using my heat gun.

Just to prove it, here is another one. :-)<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 341px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444093426574090978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinYop1RNMQVqFK_hbNx7K_ffxq_Oj2Vr03ROrS16OSQ1VnbC6ePuEG9-77uvdDhvDZ3mjSJqyRU1b59WyclNMU0Rj6PGXKgGkC_7_YHASvoZ0Z5J6GAR-jhe685syNENklhusz8w/s400/DSC_0966.JPG" /></p><p>I started with my basic white heart cut-out using my Silhouette Digital Cutter. I have made up my own ink spritz colors using the Distress ReInkers and Perfect Pearls. I misted the heart with spray made with Fired Brick Ink and Gold Perfect Pearls and the I misted a little Vintage Photo with Bronze Perfect Pearls.<br /></p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 327px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444093430479016962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrkK7PKD2H5sEjHcWU50a9wPIvIyNYqJNsdnLc07A4MHHBLnNaJyguZg91hAhlxc2Jb5yPOlbmkqzoyIjJQxMtQ7MDvDSZlpP0K8qVqboVp8Y1gZ1-jxhryd4DOkt8Kgsj44Z9bA/s400/DSC_0940.JPG" /> </p><p>Sometimes I have a happy accident, which is what happened on this next step. I rubbed Versamark Ink all over my heart and then poured Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel on my heart. At the time I didn't realize that my Versamark was drying out so when I hit the heart with my heat gun it blew off a lot of the UTEE. I thought that I'd just see what it looked like and voila! I loved it. I felt like this gave a really distressed metal look. I then inked over the edges with Walnut Stain Ink.<br /><br /><br /></p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 376px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444093437320777106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWYXfboCM1rlOA9GfF7ycHqkOpY-Njpzo7rMeBA-tMOrjOux2kWU4OnFvOr1AU6oykdXcARK2dA5m1FaCa9I7Fgta3WkEtgzX8K0leh7idJraBkr0KxMdNTczWPhgSkLsxA_I8dw/s400/DSC_0941.JPG" /></p><p>Next, I cut-out the Damask Fleur shape from Silhouette.

Look to part two for the details of the blue card.<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 328px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443399638179852930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFEgYzWFH0E-3eWX00oG54x8yUxyzLfC78MLXEQAjGaHpJvfZerziCUfgBXgZwqNjm5qAJJrdMPUNYv3ki96mIHVlBP3fcFDqpdAjMOPVtzePgMX2WfCXqcBNe518Q0kH_eg2y3A/s400/DSC_0938.JPG" /> <p>I started with a pink piece (4" x 5 1/4") of cardstock from Archiver's.

I sometimes have trouble coming up with ideas for sympathy cards. I recently needed to create one for some friends that had to put down their beloved dog. So here is my card that I made for them. I was, again, inspired by Jennifer McGuire. You could easily make this into any type of card by changing the sentiment.<br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 324px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442959811724812242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwKOrwz_pctvQN4BJxcH-Ay8BlChMRwhp_Nf6V81qya5zcJJgbchDLANeXJr3UOx-P9KnpcQ5TjuhH6TGstOYFtQng2vMOYwW4JYv5It-tURYJkRxrIKVamvHdviBKWF_dKxB1mQ/s400/DSC_0912.JPG" /><br />I started by cutting out the smaller label with my Spellbinders Nestability Die from the Labels One set.<br /></p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 354px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442960490055254706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8mdToYpB_2hHidDA9FTLnEjdIKnC3kNyiDt8VFm26sAmsyLEhoXpROJv6c6yxZSf0-YL9bYF3Z45GYF9TwJZe0JAVtTdgvFHrYtL5LSB9te82uBUpS_wG31lFEGmbBw0h0xYY1w/s400/DSC_0896.JPG" /><br />I then stamped the Antique Flower Background from Hero Arts in Broken China Distress Ink.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 370px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442960514055732034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicTxr2UHJYCV4ZeOB6DBxF0nXcLMNim6uy3TjLdw7vU6SvyJEhApaevuF4UAXsfK8_EtMpxQ1NyTX8YoKegjOYh5P7EqPYR9hyVplimZRl2i1JCDMc4BFztr4exFUMlqv5MWl0zw/s400/DSC_0898.JPG" /><br /><br />Then, using my blending tool I applied Broken China Distress Ink all over the die cut.<br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 365px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442960519812143298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw7fo4Ey5-_TJYeXn2YkM4XhnYWMBfU07MXb_yii-Ka_0ThgqhvH4u6guMcKycjLJB-Pc65WbxsgmCb7zs2zjoe7DYJECb_s3I2tfLyOwclwWBO5EcdFAkMDK2rjz1HFexExHhOQ/s400/DSC_0899.JPG" /></p><br />Next, I cut another Label from the same set in a larger size.<br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 371px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442960525632478418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwOM0Ntlwa4WgIrcPGezbe6u4yDDfqxwCJRNio1GU4imw7w28LWQuVBmz5ejbm4lRo-lzTG4HQ7Pid5rd5CP83CIW9BieROyPT-ZCOBpTmwESF0oazil_04R6qfMs48F9JWYuukA/s400/DSC_0900.JPG" /></p>I edged the label with Antique Linen Distress Ink.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0zyiyDWlbiggjlUbpKpmTbvd9V-EM1aXjEBMRj98unYYP680HP69X49hwCYmMGRjmWTw1JEEmdZllf7e87HEUzpNZ24xa4xMmfG9Jx7ihEBbwMhDznhV3pcy5ZKRsK0M-djgw7g/s1600-h/DSC_0901.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 336px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442960533170310274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0zyiyDWlbiggjlUbpKpmTbvd9V-EM1aXjEBMRj98unYYP680HP69X49hwCYmMGRjmWTw1JEEmdZllf7e87HEUzpNZ24xa4xMmfG9Jx7ihEBbwMhDznhV3pcy5ZKRsK0M-djgw7g/s400/DSC_0901.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><div>Next, I stamped the butterfly from the Hero Arts set Antique Engravings with Archival Ink in Pitch Black.

We had snow for the third Sunday in a row and today it is only 22 degrees here today. Now the snow has stopped and the sun is out but it is super chilly.<br /><br />So, my first card today was inspired by French Chablis. If you haven't seen what she creates head on over to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">SCS</span> and check out her lovely cards.<br /><br />I started with my trusty Tim <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Holtz</span> Distress Inks in Faded Jean, Peeled Paint, Broken China and Tea Dye inks. I rubbed these on to my craft sheet and lightly spritzed with my Mini Mister. I once thought that I could use any mister but I have come to see the error of my ways. The Mini Mister gives a very light fine spray unlike anything else I have used, I never have water blobs.<br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441178415711202242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVMJL4YGWp-TgTyc7u1ROmLneeo8ro7qjWwfYsDPkMXWTfCL7n0MzSq7F8S0jYYvrGifImemKLcW5AbwI2H_yzef_o-oBWiEtCD9T3nayUwD5Ul7q4iu83-5ET1kyx1nKPXiTCpA/s400/DSC_0877.JPG" /></p><br /><p>Next, I pressed my Medallion Stamp from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Stampin</span>' Up into the ink pools. I did dip it a few times to be sure that I covered my whole stamp. I pressed my stamp onto a white piece of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span>. I let it sit on the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span> for awhile just to be sure that it had time to soak into the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span>.</p><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441181200548900834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNv6iDBb5SkHvEMWXwmdxpu2e40us-TC_giSyFRsvpqy4-i2N1hOKm7ae2i9DcInjboAsE9OsaiQpY_oSHWYQ_yeLTzsuBycVAtRryR3QDzK0hT1ifXu_GE5pfhaBWmBHnRC_yGA/s400/DSC_0878.JPG" /> <p></p>I mounted this to a piece of Barely Banana <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span> (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">SU</span>!)and punched a slot on the left-hand side of my card and tied a small piece of Certainly Celery grosgrain ribbon (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">SU</span>!)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggAxcJLcQCPy_CS2eauNKN_aHx2aFuET1X0nvo53lJ23DDUxMYVPCLqEPPpzoGBfW_74XGnJvUhB7Jthv7Rt-vIlTIgGszLL0Q7O_VUBMDSrxkvnWKCa9CAH14k-iJh9wKFWTTuQ/s1600-h/DSC_0880.JPG"></a><br /><p></p><p></p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441181211189314946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDhI8617HJSaRsmfK7BnNwT5egkoCx8o0a27fwa_Br4KelwY49KSvjnNFdLZ9GjrahXjwiT4-ZjIyfMdOQoqIyiExLrzaa3n3Dhxa0JE2Fo6eKFOqKf_i3bwZkKv_nUEEcSYzH3w/s400/DSC_0879.JPG" /><br />Next, I stamped the sentiment with Broken China.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441181222870320738" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRvqIdBDNjmLHxJC_1IVF3944MrsHYY_rUUzqgE6KjKUOlleOmTX257rIH-vbgmfF0wnpWHcF4ZLWKhYYNHjj_FTAmjx6D7tMeMaEvUEkpivgET1PYAtV3a4zS9D_7d-HoOyhctg/s400/DSC_0880.JPG" /><br />Next, for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">bling</span>.

I tied a brown organza ribbon from Creative Impressions around my key.

I attached the charm to my ribbon and adhered the flower. Then I attached my key element to the heart. I cut out the Fleur Damask shape using my Silhouette and then painted it with my Gold Paint Dabber. </p><p>I added a piece of Vanilla <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span> as a belly band, I aged the edge with Antique Linen. To this I added a piece of Chocolate Chip <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span> that I punched with Dotted Wave Edger by <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-error">EK</span> Success.

On top of the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-error">bellyband</span> went the heart and key element.

I am still in the process of relocating my craft room but I have most everything down in the new spot. I am certain that I will be re-arranging everything before it is set. I am loving the nice natural light in my new spot but it is taking a little bit of time to get used to the move. </div><div> </div><div>Today's card is inspired by Tim Holtz. I love all of the ideas on his blog, it is a great place to get inspired.<br /></div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432295596264821618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-jRYfHxwS872W4_tRc46ydefym9AU7UtKqqGkF5v7fDKxNxv4ywRuLlwhsu7Rf9tSmR5Gl2p4FG6Qm1P7WAqUJ71w6t4C_g5w1VCKsKCUkaXn4wJtzGNu-i73SZS5Y_i0NT3aUQ/s400/DSC_0760.JPG" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 348px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432294390113302482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP-r43Hqa9PFB1oe81cmh8KHd0N4ttjvCUEYi6DpacN62UPcMSD_KkpLuCUoaKL53YErAwrTankZn7SjGTHLa9wsOScEy1lAkiJGAuhloCjNw6kgWyoHgCm6oxKmjB8o5_9Xahdg/s400/DSC_0739.JPG" /></div><div><br /></div><div>I started with my quarter sheet of card stock. I laid the Tim Holtz Flourish mask over the cardstock. You can see it in the photo if you look carefully. I am working on my Craft Sheet from Ranger. A must have in your craft arsenal if you ask me. It keeps me from making a huge mess of my craft area.<br /></div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 382px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432294393961772274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiftkpgWUfystqFuFv311i-0_ymoD_Ci9uNpyOhmWwt0Jv86qg8yQZJWoQ_NQVVWuB4TP5kDBo8iHloUK5bVMvMl5vlqaBORcPcNq7_RhmkDl9gTY5KBJjND8eW8MX8AQgDxFGScg/s400/DSC_0740.JPG" /></div><div> </div><div>I spritzed the card with my custom Distress Ink mister, I made it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and Perfect Pearls in Perfect Bronze. You combine that with water in a Mini-Mister.

I am almost feeling like myself. Just a little cough left but that is pretty much it. I normally do not get sick so having such a bad infection/cold (I suspect that I actually had more then one right after the other) was really hard for me. One of the interesting side-effects of being pregnant, I guess.<br /><br />On to today's card. My husband and I have an Anniversary tomorrow. This actually isn't our wedding anniversary which is in February, but the anniversary of our first meeting, 14 years ago. We have pretty much been a couple since we met in college so we acknowledge this anniversary. (Really and truly we don't do anything or buy presents but just say Happy Anniversary). I don't normally even make a card but this one was knocking around in my head, since I saw a version of this on Linda aka Oz's blog Wood INK. <br /><br />I start out with my quarter sheet of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span>. In this case I am using <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Neenah</span> Classic Crest Cover in Solar White (80 lbs). This is actually what I have been using for awhile and I have been very happy with it. I can pick it up locally at a paper store and it works out to be about .10 per sheet. <br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428566784971753234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtV_Odp5XJRd1ZNS-tsnLXAfs2Xd_j46QYHZBQz3we1uPDdNg6TJnZgmbs_LwfheL0T458Jtf-ndbmAPldJNwEAMV-ZEucvzloyU_2ao7T9WA67jb6xhZ69QlUicFn-rPCpUlxZQ/s400/DSC_0721.JPG" /></p><br /><p>Next, I created two masks using plain printer paper. I used my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Fiskars</span> Shape Cutter and the Heart Template also from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Fiskars</span>. I was careful not to tear the paper so I would have both a positive and negative heart. I am using the positive image first. I have placed the heart cut out in the center of my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span> and stamped the French Script background image from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Stampin</span>' Up in Frayed Burlap Distress Ink from Ranger.<br /></p><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 337px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428566787427378658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWJqCPerlhsb6lopFlgnYuneHABDpACv_Sonnf2l5pvYpqHCT8kOu5WrfRdZY2_ROO0qZLtx1ukCmCSDRN5wgT2rkmFbedwdoz9dnkWhU9kqXuwYoSbJ2I-yQbQOdbxkdTpTDtyg/s400/DSC_0722.JPG" /></p><br /><p>Once I remove the mask you can see I have a heart shaped void in the center of my card.</p><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 334px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428566791449861410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQOiVcfK1jkO0lfK3nFarYOl_zBKk8FTM_fowEQCvl6lhMnhbpzm_BlF_SdbHXpD1zZpZPzJBsakOu4OUvTMlTbAhpeCMWyD2_BuxG2XiJQCYSgbEjaw6o5Nmf0IyY9nWaQwEffg/s400/DSC_0723.JPG" /></p><br /><p>Then I used the negative of my mask, so the area around the heart would be protected. I lined up my new mask with my previously created void and stamped Antique Flower Background from Hero Arts in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Weathered</span> Wood Distress Ink from Ranger. </p><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 310px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428566800753712178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSUMKTZ212NbrPxpQsc07rkLDS_qSf3T1yUJm3fd5CoykoGMJ8k1UvJjQvVfdsIqxS5ENQk91yLSRJu12m6WhHNVEaX_YDNGgnYoLdfK47MQeugb4uo2zSgH_1v7wqXLrXyA_L_g/s400/DSC_0724.JPG" /></p><br /><p>Once I stamped the image I wanted to add a little dimension to the heart. I took my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Inkssentials</span> Blending Tool with the Weathered Wood Distress Ink and worked that over my heart, keeping the darkest area to the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">outer</span> edge of the heart. My intention with this is to give the heart more dimension. Once I had the grey as I wanted it I went back over the edges with a very light application of Black Soot Distress Ink. </p><p>When using printer paper you have to be very careful not to tear the mask, you can easily do this is you use a bit too much gusto when inking. I use my left had to hold the section where I am working down, so as not to catch the edge of the paper and tear it. </p><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2HXfotJ4l5g0KU0raiFRPogU81rc0ZMVxBVtq1qz7hQBeotJpY1wD_zaWnOngmJvRYs7jCp7zJrXjYqwv4vT41Ee6WiDUNzDCjYOQzjMKuhJ9ohdvwmgUYuluQxw-0exaJEh-Qw/s1600-h/DSC_0725.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 350px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428566800258306706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2HXfotJ4l5g0KU0raiFRPogU81rc0ZMVxBVtq1qz7hQBeotJpY1wD_zaWnOngmJvRYs7jCp7zJrXjYqwv4vT41Ee6WiDUNzDCjYOQzjMKuhJ9ohdvwmgUYuluQxw-0exaJEh-Qw/s400/DSC_0725.JPG" /></a><br />You can see how the Distress Inks give added dimension to the heart. I think that it really pops. </p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 325px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428571124593084930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLtzuAzZBEsVBdezbYGha51GZNerkEzGPzXzrbSMHOVy5JKl0S43bYqhyYINrI0HwoQ3agN9Q9nGMIEF7kt8W_n02fVVee4E48JE_RsbEd0Ffe7uhjo7mXHlzpc4iCTD-8qW1zCA/s400/DSC_0726.JPG" /></div><br /><div></div><div>Now I needed to add some color to the script portion of the card. Again I picked up my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Inkssentials</span> Blending Tool. I worked in Antique Linen and went all over the script. I did put my mask back over the heart to protect it while I worked close to it. If you like to live dangerously you could probably just risk it, I know that I cannot be trusted. :-)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 342px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428571129568041698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUefRDmrFx9MvVs2eWNsdBDoRncuJl6gLzE8LO73jrB5gyBJJJ1L3sAm602QHng-yu7caFrhUxvdqLpp-JLE-32R8Vi72WAuDcnj-7lrfiQwEqfFTHDiJ01w5uesFfeZhAiA1Xqw/s400/DSC_0727.JPG" /></div><br /><div>At this stage I worked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink keeping it to the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">outer</span> edges, then to Frayed Burlap on the very edge of the card.

I broke out my Silhouette Digital Cutter and cut them in a grey <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span>. These birds are from a dingbat font called Birds of a Feather. Once they were cut out I inked them with Weathered Wood and Black Soot Distress Inks. I mounted them to the card with foam dots. I left this step to the end so I could use my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">ATG</span> without having to go over bumps. I normally forget that and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error">smoosh</span> the front of my card while trying to lay down adhesive or I end up putting the adhesive on the card base. </div><div> </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 310px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428571140314685858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfSC0lweH4DBI571WkuYIBsguJtjEwEJHNTN9C7JJi6ykNpqzYWAnyG00YINfPGe-6K4LnUdC8sPSUHrUFHNWk_u9yimC7y1W1QNaaWLqPeSEVoctTuCY42BmxUe9AYDzsvVKDOA/s400/DSC_0730.JPG" /><br /><div></div><div>Here is the finished card.
