Shine Bright

A little bit of layering and simple color scheme define this card.

Hand made paper doilies add a bit of vintage charm.

 ~ Shine Bright ~

These four doilies were made from the same size circles and Kreaxions Punch #916. To get the smaller pair of doilies I used a craft knife to join the punched designs. The negative made a nice swirly frame for another project.

To add a bit of whimsy to this card I used a hexagon embossing folder to frame the sentiment.

Supplies:

Paper:Craftsmith, My Minds Eye

The sound of seagulls and the feel of a smooth shell in your hand...

For this card I used Craftsmith Dip Dyed paper collection.

First I inked and embossed a mermaid of gold.
Next, I splatted and dripped various shades of green mist over the lower half.

For the sea foam I patted modeling paste on with my finger tips.

Dream

I love the look of iridescent peacock feathers.
For this card I tried to duplicate that look with ink and an embossing folder.

~ Dream ~

The peacook embossed paper started out cream colored. I inked the inside of the embossing folder with lime pigment ink. After rolling the paper through the press I brushed it with layers of blue, purple, and lime inks. I finished it with one final layer of emerald green ink and some drying time.

Thanks A Bunch

Design Team reveal on the Just Imagine blog today.
This month our themes are: Love and The Color Red

I chose to reveal red through the negative cut-outs from Punch # 604 and # 901.

~ Thanks A Bunch ~ 

For this card I cut a 4"x6" piece of white cardstock. I used Insert A with #901 as a border punch on the top and bottom. I then used #604 over the top of the border. I adhered the white cardstock over a red card blank. A self adhesive sentiment and some pop dots and my card was finished!

Supplies:

Paper:Recollections

Sticker:Bo Bunny

Punches #604 & #901:Kreaxions

Best Wishes

This card uses colors and shapes to recall a winter scene.
The glitter striped card base adds a touch of glamour.

~ Best Wishes ~

To shape the edges of the blue paper I used Kreaxions Punch #301. I punched a white strip of paper using the same punch then trimmed the inside edge into points. This I layered inside the frame. The bird and pine bough cluster are cut from Craft Smith paper using dies.

Circle of Hearts

This circle card has all the right stuff!
Multiple layers of paper, lace, flowers, stitching, glitter...
So much fun to create!!!

~ Circle of Hearts ~

For this card I framed the glitter, polka dot paper with pink and then a layer of heart punched vellum. Vellum is easiest to cut when layered over another sheet of paper. This reduces it's tendency to buckle.

Paper:Craftsmith

Vellum:American Crafts

Trim:Webster's Pages

Stencil:Momenta

Modeling Paste:Liquitex

Flowers:Prima
