New Cards I've Been Working On!

I'm disappointed with this picture. Not the card, just the picture. I used Orchid Opulence CS and ink, Old Olive CS and grosgrain ribbon, and Shimmer White CS, and Cottage Wall DSP. I love this card also, however there are two little dimensional cling-ons sitting right under the ribbon. I just didn't notice it until I started to upload it. But I don't think it ruins the card so I'll leave it there! :) Enjoy the new cards!

Another card using the Thoughts & Prayers stamp set. I LOVE this set! I can't get over how stunning it ends up being. This card uses Kraft CS, Night of Navy CS and ink, brads, and Bella Bleu DSP.

However, I LOVE this card! Also made with Teddy & Train stamp set! Made with slightly retired Pink Pirouette CS and ink, and Close to Cocoa CS and ink. Watercolor paper and Aqua painters were also used.

Not my favorite colors for this set, but they were the most "boyish" colors I had, guess I need some more pastel blues, yellows and greens! These were ALL Bold Brights and I think it could be better. This card was made with Teddy & Train stamp set (adorable!), using Brilliant Blue CS, Yoyo Yellow CS, Green Galor CS, Craft White ink, Winter White embossing powder, Pastels and a blender pen. I think I remembered it all!

This card is using the Bitty Birthday set, and actually this card is way cute now that it's all put together, I'm really liking it! Anyways... Bitty Birthday set, Certainly Celery CS, marker and ink, Lovely Lilac CS, marker and ink, Basic Black ink, 2 Way Glue, and Dazzling Diamonds glitter. And slightly retired Celery Grosgrain.

Similar card, just a slightly different take... Now I need to get the stamp set that makes this a rockin' card. I LOVE my spritzer, I had never even used the thing until a couple of weeks ago! So, this is the extreme guitar set, embossed. I used Tempting Turquoise stampin' marker and CS, Basic Black CS and Craft Ink, and Whisper White paper with the spritzer.

The lighting in this shot is not the best, sorry about that! This is using the Ever After set, Rich Razzleberry CS and marker, Not Quite Navy CS and ink, Sizzix texture plate, Shimmering White CS, White Grosgrain ribbon. Simple card with great results!

Busy Worker Bee...

I need to add something to this card, maybe some brads or eyelets. Something to make it pop just a little more. I like the effect of the spritzer tool, and I really like the stamp itself. It's just lacking a little punch for me. I'll try to get more cards posted this week. I'm getting ready for another card making party, so I'll post cards from the last one. I'm trying to make the card making parties a fun surprise!
