Bird Cage

Hi Everyone!!

Today I tried something new...  I tried doing I think it's called water color stamping.  It's when you color your stamp with ink pads and pens and then spritz the stamp with a mist of water and then stamp it on your paper.  That's how I did the leaves and flowers on this card. 

The bird cage and bee's I did the direct stamp way.  On the bee's wings I put a little Stickles Rock Candy to make them look see thru.  Wish I had some of that Flower Soft stuff for the flowers...I know I'm never satisfied.... always want something else.

Here's the inside.....

I'm working on another one with a butterfly on it instead of the bird cage... not sure if that one's going to turn out or not... stay tuned!

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

WOYWW-93

Today is WOYWW day which stands for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday. It's a fun post to show if you dare what your working on or have been working on this past week and mess that's left behind. Come and join the fun on Julia's blog, here's the link you won't believe all the people that are brave enough to post and all the fun we have snooping into each others work areas.....

OK here's the pic.......

I know not much to snoop... but I'm finishing up some cards I've been working using a sketch on from the i(heart)2stamp site here's her link.  Once I got started I wanted to make a few extras and I'm still in the process. Been trying to use blue, it's very hard for me to find just the right combo for some reason. Blue is just a hard color for me to use.  

That's it.... on my way to do some snooping of my own..

Mom's Birthday Card

Today I finished Mom's Birthday card.... I think she's going to be 88...? I still have a few weeks to figure that out...

I've been following a new site I found and they have a once a month sketch for anyone to try.

So I decided to use the sketch from this month at  i(heart)2stamp site..check it out. Never did one of her sketches but liked this one so had to try it out.  I think it turned out pertty nice.

For the focal point I used the SU-Elizabeth stamp and did gold embossing then colored the flowers and leaves a little.

Here a close up, you can see some of the embossing and coloring too..... 

Here's the inside, I didn't do much with this, still may put a little something else in here just not sure what yet....

I know she will like this one... but then she's my Mom and she always likes everything so I don't know if she's the best person to ask... so how about you what do you think???

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

 

Embossing Folders

Hi Everyone!
Today I was working with my Embossing Folders and trying to see which one I though would look the best on my project.  So I did what I always end up doing I cut paper and try several to see which one I liked best....... Will you see where I'm going with this right???  I decided I was going to make a folder like I did for may Border and Corners so I could just pull it out and have a look.  
This is what I came up with, tell me what you think!

Here the first flap open.....

2nd flap open

3rd flap open......

4th flap open...

That's it...

To make a sample of each folder I just cut papers 2.5 x 3.75 and then embossed, sanded, put it in the folder and labeled it with company name, folder name, stock #.....

Hope you enjoyed this... I know I'm going to save myself a LOT of time with this.
