forever begins now wedding card

A card I made for a wedding which didnt end up going to that person, Tried to make it more contemporary, love this spellbinders scalloped frame!!!

Fathers Day card

This is the card I made this past june for my dad. He (along with me) loves the ocean, and so most of my cards for him always have a nautical theme. So I used my new Our Daily Bread lighthouse stamp and stamped in brown and smeared ink in a few places to give it a little color. It is stamped on kraft cardstock. The sentiment is from a studio G $1 stamp set.

Wedding Invite Trial

Add caption

I'm working on coming up with an invite for a co-workers wedding, this was one of them. The bride and I love it, but I think it would be too time consuming to make, she wants like 150 of them!  But after going to CHA and seeing a sneak peek of the new spellbinders grand dies, I have the idea to use one of those as the shape of the invite, and then embellish with stamps and rhinestones... so we'll see!!
The rose shape was cut using a spellbinders die, and I sponged ink in it when using it like a stencil. whatcha all think?

SU/Sizzix embossed roses


I finally got the embossing folder "Manhattan Rose" by Sizzix, for Stampin Up! I embossed glossy white paper with this embossing folder, and then smeared versamark ink over the embossed part using a brayer. Then I heat embossed with a white pearl embossing powder. Then i used various inks to fill in the roses. I applied glitter in various places to give it sparkle, you can see that in the second close up picture. The sentiment was stamped in aqua colored ink, and then I took my quickie glue pen and went over the word FABULOUS, and applied aqua colored glitter. I used a few copics to accent the roses in the centers, to give depth. Thanks for looking, let me know if you have any questions!
