Lisa's baby set

The minute I saw these cards, I knew I had to CASE them.  I loved how the curve of the mat stack  matched the scallop border.

I made a rainbow of colours.

I made some minor adjustments for supplies I had; stamped polka dots instead of patterned paper, no stamping on higher panel, different ribbon treatments, white as well as kraft bases, and once I stamped a few of the squiggles I decided I liked it better without them.

I never tire of stamping white ink on coloured cardstock.  It makes such an impact.

Supplies; Stamps - Little bitty bird, Mat stack 2, Polka dot basics 2, Paper - Spring moss, Lemon tart, Sweet blush, Lavender moon, Aqua mist, white, kraft, Other - Mat stack 2 die, circle punch, Large scallop border die, copics, ribbon in colours matching cardstock, buttons.

Party TYs

For my daughters' birthday.

I used a small $3 stamp set from Prima, coloured in with copics, and added mist drops.

Each one came out slightly different because I'm still experimenting with making splatters.

Supplies; Stamps - Celebrate Valentines Jack and Jill (Prima), YOF: LOTV (sentiment), Paper - white, Other - copics, Teal glimmer mist (HS).

Occassion-less notes

And playing with impression folders.  I made the Big Shot sandwich very tight, and worried that I might break it, but it squeezed through after all.

Supplies; Paper - white, MME PP, Library ledger, Other - Linen impression plate, scallop scallop border punch.

Foxes paper pieced and painted

Supplies; Stamps - Hello foxy, Paper - white, kraft, MME PP, Other - watercolours.

PTI blog hop - touch of gold

Man oh man, did this card ever give me trouble!   I was inspired by Japanese chiyogami paper and wanted to create something like it.  At first I wanted to use Mini blooms, but that was more gold than I wanted.  Then I had trouble arranging the flowers 'just so'.  It's still not quite how I envisioned it, but I finally gave up.  

I found the perfect floral in an unlikely place - Strawberry patch set!  I embossed the outline large flower in gold and filled in with copic, embossed the solid small flower in clear, and stamped the large solid flower in versamark and white.  I added white dots with a pen, and some sparkly accents to the clusters.

I couldn't find a nice match for the sentiment so I stamped once in Berry sorbet, and overtop in Wet cement.

Enjoy the rest of the hop!

Supplies; Stamps - Strawberry patch, Mini blooms (sentiment), Paper - Sweet blush, white, Other - Gold embossing powder, clear embossing powder, white gel pen, silver gel pen.

Quick chevrons

Sometimes a card needs to be made RIGHT NOW, and there are only 5 minutes to work.  This was one such occasion.  I took patterned paper, ran an impression plate over it, quickly stamped a sentiment and outlined it with glue and added glitter.  Done!

Supplies; Stamps - Think Big, Paper - Canyon clay, SU PP, Other - Linen impression plate, glitter.

Ranuncului

At least that is what I think this flower is.  :)

I stamped two cards utilizing masking for the flowers, sprayed some gold mist and added banners for sentiments.

Love the layers and layers of petals.  I added BB: herringbone on the banner on the second card.

Supplies; Stamps - Cutting garden, Bountiful banners, Mini blooms (sentiment), Paper - white, SC green, Other - bountiful banner dies, fishtail flag dies.

Narrow aqua hills

Maybe not the best title for a post, but oh well!  I wanted to do some cottag-ey/country patterns to go along with the house image.  The main panel was stamped onto white, coloured and then popped up with dimensional adhesive.

Supplies; Stamps - Spring hills, Envelope pattern, Paper - Aqua mist, Green boutique PP, white, Other - Copics.

MIM - flagged border

Here are some cards I didn't get around to sharing, and they fit in with this week's MIM theme -
