Palate cleanse

I've been doing a lot of layered cards lately, so I needed something CAS to clear my mind and eye.

I used the strip from Mat stack 1 collection, in two inks, sometimes stamping off once in between.

And a little label popped up.

Supplies; Stamps - Mat stack 1 collection, Label basics, Tag-its 1 (sentiment), Paper - white and kraft.

PTI blog hop - masculine

I decided my play before the card happened was nice enough to warrant a photo too.  :)

 

Love, love the Postmarks set.  As you see from the above play session, I went with greys and blues.

 

 

The 'post' is from Postmarks, minus the 'card'.  The blue highlighting outline is from Label basics stamped on the reverse side.  The 'birthday' is from Giga guidelines.  And the background is a Tim Holtz stamp, repeatedly stamped off.  Lots of sponging around the edges, first in grey, then black.

 

I used markers to colour in the wings.  And not many embellishments as fitting for a masculine card. 

Supplies; Stamps - Postmarks, Labels basics, Giga guidelines, Tim Holtz twiggy background, Paper - white, kraft, Other - postage stamp die.

Trying vintage

...and my new dies!

I have been cutting out doilies like a mad woman.  And strangely, I find pushing out the little holes by hand very satisfying.

They are both 5.5'' square card.  The layout on the second is a little off, next time I'd mat the labels die cut and move the charm closer to it.  Overall I'm happy with my first tries at 'vintaged-up' cards.

Card + Gift bag

I found this stunningly gorgeous card here.  I tried to recreate it, but my proportions were all off.  I started down the wrong path because of using a very large greeting font, then I couldn't place the trim on the same side of the bow...  But I like the results anyways.

My mom requested a card for a friend's birthday; the person loves soft greens and browns.   I also decorated a small kraft gift bag;
