Thinking of you

I made this card for the inspirational Thursday challenge at Mark's Finest Papers. My mom buys me random crafty things and these green feathers arrived Friday by mail-She is a snowbird off in Florida and I'm in cold blah Michigan. As soon as I saw this weeks challenge I thought the feathers looked like the eyes in the first photo but with the color scheme of the third. Check out these eye photos:

I used a Crafter's Workshop stencil and Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels to make the background on SU cardstock. The patterned paper behind the misted cs is by Doodlebug Designs, die cut by Spellbinders in yellow Recollections cs, and green burlap ribbon by The Paper Studio/Hobby Lobby. The sentiment is heat embossed in white and then I ran the cs through a pool of two different yellow distress inks. I had to use two because one was too yellow and the other too orange so I put them together to see what I would get. I used a SU scallop circle punch on the sentiment and went around the edges of each scallop with a Wink of Stella clear gold glitter pen.

Cracked Egg Iris Folding Easter Card

I have a new card featuring an iris folding stamp of a cracked egg and a fun font Easter sentiment both by Stamp N Plus. I used a yellow patterned paper for the iris folding, manufacturer is unknown. The yellow and white cardstock are by Recollections and the square card base is by Studio 112. At the bottom of the card is a row of embossed bunnies. I placed a pearl at the neck of each bunny and then scattered pearls around the card. The sentiment has been stamped with black Hero Arts ink.

The sentiment stamp sheet is pictured below and if you are interested in purchasing one please call Luann at 715-271-1873.

Stamp N Plus Wedding Card

Stamp N Plus iris folding stamps are so amazing to work with. This dress stamp can be found HERE and other dress stamps can be found HERE or HERE.

I used a silver and white patterned paper, which is very old with no manufacturer on it. Then I added tiny little flowers by Stamping Scrapping to the top and one in the center right. There is a row of rhinestones at the waist of the dress and inside each flowers center. These rhinestones are by Imaginsce. 

I matted the dress onto black cardstock and then onto a gray card base. I embellished with some corner stickers and a sentiment all by Me and My Big Ideas. 

Thanks for looking.
