I've been in a bit of a crap mood the last couple days. It doesn't help that the hubs is out of town. Well, it does and it doesn't. I just got a bunch of new crafty stuff and now am on a spending freeze b/c it got a little crazy there for a while. So, here I am trying to look on the bright side...
Super Sketch Sunday over at 365 Cards:
Sorry for the fuzzy photo, but here's my take:
I wanted to do a tiny card b/c I thought that would be faster. Not really! The card base came from a Mackenzie Mae kit, the patterned paper is Sassafras as are the stickers (pop dotted), and the ribbon is Cosmo Cricket. I did some faux stitching to give the illusion of a pocket and that stamp is Inkadinkado.
365 Day #175 Stampin' Saturday
I'll let Pam explain this one, "The challenge for today is all about layering stamps. Now, I'm not talking about masking, but actually overlapping stamps to create a really neat effect. Probably the best way to do this is to create a background, but it's not necessary." This was my first time doing this and I really enjoyed it. Other than it being messy... I hate creating a mess. It helped that I just got all my Ebay purchases yesterday! Including 7 sets of Tim Holtz stamps for only $25! Anyway, I used the script stamp and stamped lightly in Colorbox "Stucco," then stamped the frame and the bird in black and heat embossed the Love stamp. I also added the flower stamp as an after thought also in the Stucco... wish I didn't. Then I just used the blending tool around the edges so the middle would appear brighter. Oh, and the paper is Sassafras.

Peach had to be the predominant color on the card. I think I achieved that, although I do think one girl's peach is another girl's coral, but whatever. I used the same flower stamp as above (no clue what company) and stamped it with the same "Stucco" ink on the peach scrap I had. Then I layered some vellum over it that is printed with leaves. Then I put the Cosmo "Jack's World" rub-on over that, added some brads in the corners and voila!
Day #166 ~ Recipe
I had to wait to do this one b/c I didn't have any embossing powder.

I had to wait to do this one b/c I didn't have any embossing powder.The recipe:
4x7 card
5 blossoms
glitter
wet embossed statement
3 different patterned papers
OK, so this turned out alright... not great, but it'll do. The patterned papers are all Sassafras. The Thank you stamp is "Jack's World" from Cosmo Cricket. I just got the Martha Stewart doily edge punch, so I HAD to use it. The flowers are prima and I used glitter pens on them. I despise loose glitter. This was my first time doing any embossing with my heat gun. I had a lot of fun with it... The only thing I don't like is the way it warps the paper. Am I holding the gun too close??
OK, that's all for now. Have a lovely Sunday!
