Books Are Magical!

This is a super cute stamp set from My Favorite Things and I have been meaning to use it for so long now :) The background is text from Alice In Wonderland and it is one of my favorite from Hero Arts. The frame I used is from The Greetery. I embossed the Book title several times with clear embossing powder to really make it shine.

This is also being entered into the NBUS Challenge #41

My first attempt at "MIXED MEDIA"

I am still trying to find my cardmaking "style" and honestly I am not sure if I ever will since I am drawn to so many different ones. On this card I tried my hand at "mixed media". I find I really like that style but it seemed intimidating. I used Tim Holtz mica spray on the background and then stamped over it using the Hero Arts Novel Prose prints stamp. You can barely see it but it is my favorite part of the background (it's text from Alice in Wonderland)

A Place To Start---September Challenge

September 2022----Anything goes w/Fantasy theme twist Our Sponsor this month is : Sheepski Designs I am so excited to be a member of this talented design team. This is my first month and it has already encouraged me to think outside the box. I hope you will play along with us this month!

To finish it off I cut black sparkle paper with a stitched rectangle die. The sentiment was embossed and for a little extra fun I dipped the little wand in glitter :) To see all the details for this challenge head on over to t...

Altenew Educator Certification Program - All About Layering 1

This is my first project for the Altenew Educator Certification Program. I made 2 cards for this project. Both cards used the Craft your life Garden Rose stamp set. On the first card took a piece of watercolor cardstock and squished oxide ink on my glass work surface, sprayed it with some water and dabbed the panel a few times, drying the panel in between each pass. I used distress oxide inks for the background as they are water reactive. After the panel dried I sprayed it with Altenew jet black spray and then to add a little bit of dimension, I took a stencil and used texture paste over it. I also used a text stamp in the upper left hand corner which is barely visible but adds a subtle touch. The sentiment is from the Altenew Hugs and Hello set and stands out perfectly on the background. The larger panel and the hugs sentiment are cut from black glitter paper. Little silver baubbles finish off the card. On this card, I didn't use all thre...
