Wishes

Happy Friday! I'm having a very lazy day today. No housework, no painting, just playing with my stamps. I'm glad I got to have one day of nothing on my vacation.
I woke up to more snow on the ground so I wanted to pick something light. I don't use Soft Sky much (not sure why, I like the color) and it went well with my DP so then I went to my stamps to see what to use with it. I thought this tree went well with the paper. I used my sky template on the background. This template was one of those things I picked up at a convention and I love it! It's nice to be able to add sky to the background and it is easy to use.

Well, after a break to eat some leftover cake from the Cheesecake Factory, I'm heading back upstairs to finish a St. Patty's day card I have started. Check back soon!

Yesterday I came home and swore I was going to clean the house. Well, needless to say, I should never start in my craft room. I decided to play with brass stencils and paste. I hope this card looks okay when I post because it looks a little washed out on my computer. In real life it is really cute. After the paste dried I painted with shimmerz. I stamped the background and highlighted in shimmerz.

I hope you enjoy this card. Have a wonderful day!!!

Brass stencil

Let It Snow

Well, another Snowy, Icy day in the Northeast. These are the Winters that I really wonder if we will ever see Spring.

I was going through some cards and found some that I made when we went to Vermont for the weekend that I still had not sent out so thought I would post them over the next few days. This one was with my 2 favorite SU colors, Bashful Blue & Orchid Opulence. They go together so well. I used the same stamp that I used when making Mary's Birthday card I posted earlier. I hope you like it. Stay warm and dry!

SUPPLIES:
Stamps: Inkadinkado & TAC

Happy Birthday Mary

My sister Mary's Birthday is this week and I gave her this card yesterday. She loves snowmen and I was thinking I never use them on her Birthday card so I did this year. I really liked the color combination. I used my speckling brush and shimmerz to see if I could create a sparkle around the snowman. It wasn't the effect I was trying to achieve but it didn't come out bad. I am still trying to learn how to control the speckling.

Supplies:
Stamps: Inkadinkado, Clear Arts Stamps
CS: SU Bravo Burgandy, Bashful Blue
DP: Kelly Panacci
Embelleshments: Dew drops, SU Brads, Felt snowflakes & Ribbon (can't remember who makes either).

Thanks for looking. I hope you like the card and have a wonderful day.
