Online Card Classes Day5-Rainbow Stenciling

Purple is the low-visibility color of the rainbow. We saw a double one in July. Purple is there but not that sparkling. It adds substance and grounding.

I like the idea of "ending" the rainbow with purple. There are no special surface treatments here- just
basic stenciling! Those wonderful supplies used in class are yet to join my stash!

Here is a card with the leftover scraps from my main project.  (I may post it later.) This diminutive-sized card is inspired by Jennifer McGuire who often adapts the size of her card to the supplies she is using. This card will be just the right size for its tiny recipient!

Stamps: Pandemonium from Mama Elephant

A2 Envelope: Note Card Cafe

Online Card Class-Rainbow Stamping

I somehow didn't do my homework for class. My ink supply is not "Rainbow Worthy" nor do I have many solid stamps in my collection. I did manage to pull these together for a masculine card.

Mama Elephant stamps- PTI die

MFT and SSS inks

Online Card Class: RainbowMaker-1

Oh my goodness, what wonderful ideas!
I used Julie Ebersole's Streaky rainbow as my inspiration.

Supplies: Distress Inks

MFT: sentiments

Mama Elephant: Brush stokes

MFT: Double Stitch Circles

Alpha: Old Sizzix set

Hero arts: Label die

I used the circle dies to add texture as I wanted these to be masculine cards.

This one with the "B" is for a cardmaker friend who gave me the dies!

Second card:

Same supplies with Recollections enamel dots,

This is for my husband's birthday. Please don't show him!

Monday Simon Challenge

Wild Things

Monsters can be Wild Things

I learn something every day.
Today I learned that Ink doesn't
stick to Ink. Or at least that is
what happened...twice.
No MISTI to test that theory.
But the result is what I wanted-a subtle Happy Birthday on the side.

25 days of tags: Day 3

 


I was inspired by the snowman tag by Tracey herself! I loved the bold image and bright colors.
Unfortunately I don't have her stamp so I used a VERY OLD Stampin' Up snowman from my collection.

This is the prototype I will use for the gifts I give to neighbors. I have some adjustments to make on the tag inself. I have lots of them stamped to color with Inketense pencils on the airplane today. TFL!
