Today I am posting two cards with different styles. They are the same flower image but stamped and colored differently.  The first is a regular black ink and pencil colored. This one is softer and the color has a brushed quality.
 
    
The second is embossed with black powder with spectrum noir colored (PP3, PP5). This one is very bold and has a great shine; however, the color looks a little plastic. I just can’t get the hang of blending….no matter how hard I try.
 
 
 
 




The white backgrounds are both Cricut cuts from elegant edges, I welded a border to a triangle from storybook.
Hope you like seeing these two techniques together and come again.

Today, as is most days, I am working on cards.  I just sent off a batch to OWH and I need to get my stack ready to send out again. Next week will be spring break and I thought I would do a spring like card. I just love the Teddy bear parade cartridge and this little bear for St Patrick's day. I used some stickles on his pot of gold and hat band and lots of green paper.  Hope you like this and will come again soon. These are the challenges I will be entering: http://www.ttcrd.blogspot.com/2014/03/through-craft-room-door-march-4.html http://everybody-art-challenge.blogspot.com/2014/03/268.html http://challenges4everybody.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/challenge-39-anything-goes.html 2 Cute ink - http://2cuteinkchallenges.blogspot.com/2014/03/challenge-101.html http://www.cardsinenvy.blogspot.com/2014/03/think-green-challenge.html http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/2014/03/fccb-challenge-200-pick-holiday.html http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.com/2014/03/mim181-with-time-fo...

I found this cute digital image in my library, I don’t know where it came from. But it is so cute and just made me think of Halloween and fall.  I had these cute leaves in a draw loose, and thought they added a nice touch to the card. I used Prismacolor markers and gelly roll pens for coloring the image.  I love the cooler days and this morning I was able to enjoy my coffee on the porch, God knows we need this rain. I checked the gage this afternoon and we got .70 here in north Texas.  Thanks for stopping by.  Sorry the photo is a little crooked.  Hope you like this and come again soon to see what I am working on. I will be entering this card in the following challenges: http://www.jadedblossom.com/2013/10/october-challengeanything-halloween.html http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/2013/10/monday-challenge-115-3d-halloween.html http://www.abcchallenges.blogspot.com/2013/10/abc49-halloween.html http://cisforchallenge.blogspot.com/2013/10/c...

I can’t believe it will be Valentine ’s Day next week. I have a few anniversaries this month also to make cards for.  I used my Cricut to make this wonderful bear from the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge. I embossed the hearts and designed the card from the MOJO sketch.   This turned out so cute. Thanks for stopping by, come again soon.  The Challenges: http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2014/02/mojo-monday-331-contest.html http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.com/2014/02/mim177-with-milk-coffee.html http://challenges4everybody.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/challenge-38-anything-goes.html http://onecrazystampercom.blogspot.com/2014/02/february-anything-goes-challenge.html http://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/2014/02/valentine-heart-challenge.html
