Using negative image

For this card I used what was left from the previous card after using the Top Note Die cut form SU! I added a fabric flower from Basic Grey, used ribbon that I knotted for the stem and the leaves are canvas that I painted green with a paint dabber and then ran through my crimper! I didn't want the negative cut to go to waste cause it was so pretty!

Grungeboard Bracelets

I made these 2 bracelets using almost only Tim Holtz products! I cut a strip of grungeboard and embossed it with the devine swirls cuttlebug folder. Then I used my paint dabbers on it - First color I laid down was Expresso, I covered the entire piece and then dried it with my heat gun. Next I sanded both sides then laid down the color Lettuce, once I covered the piece I went right over it with a damp paper towel to take all the excess off. Lastly I went over it with the color Pearl lightly and then dried with the heat gun. For the closure I punch a hold and added hitch fasteners (again Tim Holtz). For the flower I used a fabric flower from Basic Greys Capella collection and adhered it with Zip Dry glue.

The background of this card consists of patterned paper for the bottom half then I stamped the top half with a glitz distressing stamp in Tattered Rose distress ink. For the tag I used my blending tool to put on some Tattered Rose distress ink then dabbed over with my Pearl Paint Dabber. Added a flourish stamps embossed with clear powder (hard to see). Added ribbon and my sentiment and called it a day. Enjoy.

Had to make a card for my nephew-in-laws birthday. I used a stamp from Tim Holtz along with my silver paint dabber (also Tim Holtz) for the top portion. Cut out the middle and added a transparency so that you could see the inside greeting from the outside, the inside gretting is from a SU! set.

For this card I did a few different things. I took some canvas that I bought at Joanns and ripped off a piece making sure that the edges frayed nicely. Then I painted over it with my blue Tim Holtz paint dabber. It dried very quickly. I went over the blue with my white dabber for some clouds. It's a nice texture in the end. The bird is cut from Home Decor. Nice simple card for today! Enjoy.

Lots of new cards to show you!!!!!!!!

In this first card I did something a little different. With my Cricut I cut out 2 images from the Indie Art cart and temporarily adhered them to my card. Then I used my versamark inkpad and went over the entire card front. I carefully peeled up my Cricut images - leaving only those spaces un-versamarked. I sprinkled Ranget Holographic embossing powder over the front of the card and heated. I love the effect I got!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

With this card I enbossed my image with Judi-Kins Weathered Iron embossing powder then I went over the entire front with Ranger Distress Ink blending with a piece of foam. After I got a paint brush wet and flicked water over the image creating water spots.

------------------------------------------------------------

Same method as above card using Ranger Moss embossing powder.

-------------------------------------------------------

Just a simple birthday card. After I inked up my background stamp I spritzed it with a mix of water and perfect pearls so it has a slight sparkle - very subtle and pretty.

--------------------------------------------------------

Love the way this card turned out!!!! I stamped my image with versamark and then used 2 different perfect pearls colors, afterwards setting it with fixative spray and allowing it time to dry. For the background stamp I used 2 different color inks and then spritzed it with the perfect pearls and water before stamping. In real life it's really sparkly!!!

-------------------------------------------------

I got this idea from a tutorial on Ranger Paint Daubbers. I stamped my background with a script stamp. Cut the leaves out from the Serenade cart with the Cricut and temporarily adhered it to my card. I them took a piece of foam and spread out the paint from the Daubber all over the card, peeled up my cut image and allowed lots of time to dry. I used Staz-on to stamp my sentiment on the Tim Holtz acrylic piece.

----------------------------------------------------

For this card I used my script background stamp in brown and went over it quickly with my heat gun to speed up the drying. I then used Tim Holtz Rock Candy Crackle Paint and allowed to dry on it's own. I used only a thin coat so the crackle is very subtle. Stamped my sentiment with Staz-on on the acrylic piece.

Quick birthday card. Background stamped with versamark and then went over with 3 different colors of perfect pearls and set with fixative spray.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Another quick birthday card. Background stamp spritzed with the perfect pearls and water for a little shine. Image colored quickly with Copic markers and then brused over Iridescent medium for a sparkle finish. Silver cord added too.
