Summer Card Camp...Week 3

Another week over at Summer Card Camp...and another set of colors...



I love this palette! It just whispers romance!

I broke out another swapped stamped image from my friend...colored it with my Prismacolor Art Markers...trimmed it out and made it the center piece of the card.



All the papers used are plain cream cardstock with a lovely linen texture...and utilizing a technique video from Penny Black's blog...I made the cardstock match this week's class palette...and my flowers.



I am just in love with the texture of this cardstock...it took to the Distress Inks (aged mahogany, walnut stain, tea dye) like a duck to water!



So inky and oh so much fun!

Summer Card Camp...Week 2

This week's color scheme for Card Camp...calls for more sunshine and happy summer thoughts!



I immediately thought of the cute stamped image that my friend sent me...and really, what says summer more than Strawberries!



The papers are from Echo Park (yellow), Creative Memories (green) and Scenic Route (plaid) ...and the letters are from American Crafts...I don't know who made the stamp, sorry, I wish I knew...it's just adorable! Like I said, it was sent to me in a swap with a friend...

(If we are lucky, she will pop over here and leave a note in the comments letting us all know who made the stamp....)



Any-whoooo....I colored the image using Prismacolor Art Markers, trimmed her out with an Exacto knife and popped her up!



And finished the card off with a bit of faux-stitching in white with my all time fav pen...Uniball Signo!

I have oodles more scraps to go through...and a bunch of new card sketch ideas (all part of the card camp!)...so I'm off to get creative!

~TTFN!

Hello, Sunshine!

Well after an odd day of rain on Tuesday...summer is back...again...

I signed up for Summer Card Class, and this week's color palette (the color palette is to the left in the side-bar) and the sudden re-appearance of the sun, led to these cards...



Simple lollipop flowers...



a little foam adhesive...



and a sentiment printed from the computer...



I can't wait to get these little cards in the mail!
