Spring Mini Sneek Peak

Here's a new set all SU! demos got for free! Wow, what a great surprise, plus it is in the Spring Mini Catalog!

Finally got around to making some cards with it. I love this card by scrapstampindiva (Kendra Giles) and CASED the layout and use of Linen BG. For the flower, I "stamped-off" then inked up the top for a two-toned look.

Stamps: Polka Dots & Paisley, Linen BG
Ink: N. Q. Navy, Sahara Sand
Paper: N.Q. Navy, S. Sand, Confetti White
Embellishments: Ribbon Originals - Prep School, Uni-ball Signo White Gel Pen

More Delight in SAB

Please forgive the poor quality of this image, but I was in a rush to get this card out for my swaps. It took a lot of time cutting out all those little flowers! Ha ha! I am working on tweaking this design and possibly submitting it for a contest, so I hope to have another version to post later.

Stamps: Delight in Life, Linen BG, Looks Like Spring
Paper: Treehouse DS, Naturals White, True Thyme, B. Burgundy, N.Q. Navy
Colors: Cranberry Crisp, Sahara Sand, B. Burgundy, T. Thyme

Starting Out

Well, here I am, starting out my little blog. I am pokey so it takes me a while to get new projects together. In the mean time, here is a card I am fond of. Strikes me as a little "shabby chic" - a style I love!

I created this card for my Mom's b-day. I masked the main flower image and stamped over it with the Linen BG. I really love that look! I watercolored the image and cut out a piece for the embellishment. On the birthday label I hand-wrote "wishes"
