Pink and blue Cakes Card
Project: A2
Colors-French cafe
Element: June
Random: polka Dots-the background stamp
I made the background patterned paper with distress crayons. I pressed a crayon down on the outside edge of the white paper and then pulled the color in towards the center after each pass until I made a rectangle in the middle of the paper. Then I dipped my finger into water and followed the pattern started on the inside working my way out to the edge of the paper. I then stamped a polka dot background with a Love Nicole stamp in a matching color.
The blue glitter paper is not glittery. It has a coating over it so it doesn’t shed. It is by The Paper Studio. The blue opulent paper is by Die Cuts with a View. The white with blue squiggly lines is by Cricut. I colored the image in with Copic markers.
Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Cricut border with added Christmas trees card
This border is a Cricut cut with a rhinestone in the center. Then I added Christmas tree die cuts. Some of them have been inked with distress ink. Some of them are also upcycled wallpaper samples. I did add dimensional adhesive behind two of them. Then I cut brown scraps to make the tree trunks. Thanks for looking.

Floral Friday a Negative and Positive card
Look, it's the yellow cardstock from above. Isn't that cool? Why haven't I done this before? Anyway, I added polka dot patterned paper by Studio G behind the yellow cardstock.
I stamped the large sentiment with Hero Arts ink and it never evenly dispersed into the cardstock. I stamped it multiple times with the MISTI. I decided to color in the bare spots with my Stampin' Up watercolor pencils to fill in the bare spots.
The fun arrow and banner combo come from the Scrapbook Expo.

Fall birthday card for my Aunt
The background patterned paper is by Accord Publishing. The orange die cut patterned paper is by Recollections (the die cut is by Dreamweaver Stencils.) The cream cardstock die cut behind the orange die cut was cut out with my Cricut. The sentiment is heat embossed in white. The yellow is distress ink. The large leaf punch is by EK Success, the next smallest leaf is a punch by Creative Memories, and the smallest leaf is a Brad by Creative Imaginations. I inked the largest leaf with chalk ink. I hope she likes it. Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Alice in Wonderland Belated Birthday card
The patterned paper is by Cricut and the yellow chained border sticker is by Doodlebug. The stamped sentiment is by Stampendous. I really like this card because it’s so colorful and that is because the patterned paper really does all of the work for you.
The keyhole on the front of the card is a heavy embellishment. I felt as though it fit the movie especially it fits the first scene when she falls down the hole and starts talking to the doorknob.
Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Floral Friday Oxide background Poinsettia Christmas
I made this card for Craft Roulette #206. The parameters were: Project-card with a heart (the word heart is in the sentiment). Colors-vintage (I think it looks vintage). Element-plant (pontisettia). Random- lace in the base (there’s lace on the card base.).
I started by stamping a bunch of panels with the poinsettia in the center and the sprigs in the corners. I colored this one with Copic markers but hated it so I heat embossed another one on watercolor paper and colored it in with watercolors. I dislike this one too. But due to time constraints, I had to go with it.
So what is it that I don’t like about the new flower? There's no definition that the flower has petals. There’s no dimension. When you have different shades of colors added you can look as though one petal is under another.
Anyway, I created the background with distress oxide and spritzed it with water. Then I added pre-adhesive lace to make it look like a present.

Manly Monday Surfboards with a Big Wave
I made this card for Craft Roulette #227
Project: 4x8
Colors: Mountain
Element: Float(s) or floating.
Random: Water
I made the background when I added water to leftover distress oxide on my mat. I smooched the paper onto the mat and tada. I followed up by adding yellow distress ink in the upper right corner. For the sand, I ripped paper and inked it with distress oxide.
The wave is a Cricut cut. It’s messed up. I think the pieces got lost on my desk. I had cut out a few different waves and then got distracted by something else. Then as a try to make the wave look better I got out an old Fiskars textile plate and a stylus to put waves onto the waves. It was a fail. LoL! So to try and make the wave better I pounced on powdered chalk. Meh.
The chair die cuts are by Gina Marie. The surfboards are stamps by A Stampers Journey. I added the arrow like pattern with a colored pencil.
