A Bouquet of Flowers

I made this card using one my favorite flowers from Hearts in Touch. The image was inked on white glossy, watercolor with watercolor crayons and cut out. The diamond stamp was inked with Brilliance coffee bean and heat embossed. I used detailed black embossing powder on the quote and heat embossed, mat to black paper, mat to CB embossed card stock and mat to dark blue card stock.

Quote stamp: Hero Arts

Thinking of You

New Cards

January 31 I left my home to be with my mother for nine days, six of those days were spent at my sisters house {we were house sitting while she was away on a trip to Jamaica}; I took lots of stamping supplies that included a very large suitcase full of supplies and totes full of tools We stamped each day as well as got out and did fun things together. My sister has a large dining table eight feet long. It was covered with plastic and newsprint before we layered it with my stamping stuff. The long counter behind my mother had my Cricut Create, Bind-it-All, Cuttlebug and paper trimmer. Here is a photo of my mother working on a card. She didn't know I was taking the photo until I snapped the camera. Also here are some of the cards I made last week. More cards to follow! Comments Welcome!

Rose Card

A Hearts in Touch stamp was used with the Pallete Stamp & Stick Gluepad that was heat set and soft pastels were applied with a cotton ball.
The red/pink background was made using a TJ technique.
Fiskars punch, corner punch and Starform stickers were used on this card as well.
I've had the gluepad for months I don't know why it took me so long to use it. I love this pad!!
Thanks for looking!

Flower Card

I made something a bit different than my usual stamping. This flower card was made using OnyxXpressions rubber stamps. I found the technique online but changed it a bit by painting "outside of the circle."

Color Pop

I spent time yesterday playing with my stamps. Here is a card I made from viewing a technique from December/January09 Newsletter for the background behind the gold paper. I uploaded this card to TJ yahoo group and Hearts in Touch yahoo group. I couldn't believe all the response and compliments I have received on this card! So I thought I would share it here on my blog. Thanks for looking!

Can you guess what the paper is?
