What a nice simple design for Branch Out. As you may know, I usually make flowery cards but lately I've been buying the more modern stamp sets, such as this one and Fifth Avenue Floral. I've had fun playing with them – now I all I have to do is order some of the bold bright designer series paper Washington Apple or Rockabilly Specialty. I might with the special we are… Read More »
I know that dogwoods are either white or pink but I could not resist making one in blue! The main image was stamped in brown stazon and colored in using reinkers and a blender pen. Using post it notes, I softly sponged blue on the card stock leaving a white border. The sentiment was mounted on stampin' dimensionals so that it would create a soft shadow. What do you… Read More »

If you want to learn how to brayer… Read More »

I first saw the template for this dress on Patty's Stamping Spot (Patty Bennett). I thought it was adorable and decided to make a spring dress out of it. The dress reminds me of a dress I wore to my prom when I was in high school. Of course, it's been years since I've been able to wear a strapless dress (LOL). The dress was punched out using the Scallop… Read More »

A couple of posts ago, I stated how much I hate to use my designer series paper. I tend to hoard it. This is the first time I've used Parisian Breeze since I bought it. I thought I would use it with one of my older but goody stamp set, Heartfelt Thanks. Today's card is also using Sketch SC224 from Splitcoast Stampers. I stamped the main image in Brown Stazon… Read More »
