I've got to find my anti static bag because I've got too much leftover embossing powder leaving little speckles. :(

Create-A-Card sketch 2-1-11


I used light green chalk ink to stamp my flowers, a darker green to make my cuttlebug embossing show up, and black ink for the stitches. I don't remember the name of the stamp set but I remember it is a Close to my Heart brand and everything looks like stitiches. The black ink didn't dry quickly on the slick cardstock of the striped strip on the bottom, so when I was ready to stick down my "ribbon", I smudged it a little and got some on the white. :(

Thanks for looking,

Create-A-Card sketch 1-25-11

This week's sketch and the square card I made with it.
I used a lot of scrap and pre-printed stuff so I don't remember where I got the flowers (I hand drew the vase however) nor do I remember where the Thank You in the circle came from either.

Create-A-Card sketch 1-18-11

The sketch and the card:
I colored the ice cream cone to look like cherry or strawberry flavored ice cream (thus the darker spots). I used a couple of digital printable papers for what the ice cream is on (the distressed stripes are from The Angel Company and the wacky plaid is from Hershey Scrapping). The circles are punched with Creative Memories and were made with alcohol inks on glossy paper and ran thru the cuttlebug to emboss the daisies.

Then I get the not-so bright idea to make the stamped word "Celebrate!" easier to see by adding glitter to it. I think it makes the word harder to read now. :(
see what I mean?



Thanks for looking.

Create-A-Card sketch 1-11-11

Another CAC sketch card for you.
And here's the card I came up with...
I embossed the top green piece then used glue to add glitter. The bottom was a piece of scrapbook paper that I stamped "thank you" over and over and over again. LOL
I am trying to make several cards in the new envelope size. I can't seem to find at my local Walmart the 5 3/4 by 4 3/8 inch envelope anymore. All I find is 6 1/2 by 4 3/4. So this card {and last week's cards (and next week's card too)} is 4 by 6 inches.

Thanks for looking.
