MIM #60...Graduated Stamping

Hey there all.  Sorry, I have been missing in action.  New job and hubby health issues have put a crimp in my stamping but I am trying to get back on the horse.  This technique was something I did along time ago when I was a demo.  Simple but effective.  I used Beautiful Butterflies for this card.  New Leaf, Enchanted Evening and Terracotta Tile was the color pallet.  Cardstock was white and New Leaf.

All supplies were from Papertrey Ink except for the

white ribbon that was from Stampin Up.

I have a few more ideas that I might try tonight so we will see you later,

Papertrey March Blog Hop...take two.

So this should be it for the blog hop for me.  Three's a charm right?  So you might not think Lemon Tart and Aqua Mist for a Father's Day card but I think it came together.  I used the new World's Greatest, Polka Dot Basics and It's Offical sets.

The cardstock was Rustic White and Lemon Tart with Bitty Dot Basics background paper.  Tag Sale #6 die was used for the tag on the front.

Have a great evening and thanks for stopping by,

CASE Study #83 and MIM #58

Hi again.  More Beautiful Butterflies for you.  I started using the relief images from the card directly below this one.  Where I had taken the Copic markers and blended a background on PTI white cardstock.  Then I took the butterflies and ran them though the Xyron  and dumped glitter over them.  Very sparkly! Mounted the butterflies to a rustic white panel then to a Soft Stone A2 card base.

I added a Oceans Tide 1/2" strip of cardstock to the side and used Score Tape to adhere glitter to it.  Greeting is also from the Beautiful Butterflies set also stamped in Ocean Tides ink.

  

I am also entering this card in the CASE Study challenge where Laura Bassen's card was our inspiration.  Her card is below.

Back to the stamp room to create and thanks for dropping by!

More MIM #58

Ssooo...I am still working on the Graduated Backgrounds.  This one I created with the Copic markers like Nicole showed on her Blog.

Then I used the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set and dies.  I started with PTI white cardstock and Ocean Tides ink.

I will be back with the relief images on another card.  Thanks for stopping!

March Blog Hop @ Papertrey Ink!

Hello!  Hope you are having a great weekend!  I have been enjoying some "stamp time".  So for this months blog hop at PTI we were to use yellow and aqua and the picture at the very bottom of this post as our inspiration.  I am not thrilled with this card so I will go back and do some more stamping to get it right! hahaha

I used Aqua Mist(PTI) and Barely Banana(SU) ink on this.  The cardstock is PTI white and Aqua Mist.  Flower was made with the stripe tie from World's Greatest and the background was made using the Frame Out #2 set.

I will be back later for another try at this.  Thanks for stopping by,

Hello!  This is a Runway Inspired Challenge.  Man, what where they thinking with that hair???  I do love the dress it just says "party" and fun. 

So this photo is my inspiration for the card below. 

I really liked how this card turned out. I stared with white PTI cardstock and a old lace background stamp from Stampin Up.  Stamped with Black PTI ink.  Then took the flower stamps from the Green Thumb set and stamped them in various SU dye inks. 

Die cut a Sizzix tag and mounted it all with foam tape on on a black cardstock base.  I used Score Tape to mount the grosgrain ribbon across the front.  Thanks for stopping by to check it out!
