Not yet

My adorable (?) husband was off work today, (unexpected) so needless to say, I haven't done my sketch card yet, but here is another one from last card class. I am going to start on Monday's sketch now. Is anyone surprised I am late?

This sketch/idea came from Amy Celona, she used retired paper, but here I used To the Nines. I mounted on a Sahara Sand card stock, stamped the image from Nature Silhouette in Basic Brown and sponged a little Sage Shadow ink on it (also on Sahara Sand card stock). Then roughed up the edges and sponged them in Chocolate Chip ink and matted that on some Sage Shadow card stock. The saying is punched out with the tab punch using Sage Shadow card stock and a Kraft taffeta ribbon on it.

Take care and have a stampin' good weekend.

A Tale of Two Cards

I have decided to try and make and post cards that I won't use in my classes, so as to give my stamping girls some other ideas beside what they have already made. I decided to use some of the many sketches that are out there. This weeks' sketch is from a group of sketches call Mojo Monday. It is a good place to start when your are not sure what you want to do. (of course even then it usually doesn't turn out like you planned, but it is a starting point:0)

This is the sketch that I started with. I had an idea to use a stamp set my Mom had and recently made her swap with, but the paper I wanted to use was retired and so I used To the Nines, but after I water colored it with my watercolor crayons, it was too busy, so I set the colored image aside and played around with it. After showing it to my 7 yr old "artist" grandson, he helped me to decide how I should finish it off. The stamp set I ended up using was Thoughts and Prayers on pg 52.

I still wanted to use my colored image so I did a second card. I stamped the words from the stamp set in rose red on rose red paper. I mounted the rose red on Sahara Sand then on chocolate chip. The image is stamped on Sahara Sand in basic brown and frame with chocolate chip. I used a chocolate chip taffeta ribbon and used rose red brads on either side of the sentiment. I used crystal effects on the rose, bird, instrument, and butterfly. I am not sure what I think about it. It's okay, but not wow. I will have to walk away from it for a while. This stamp set is Music Expressions on pg. 125.


Well there you are, hope you like them. Try a sketch some time and see what you can come up with. It's kind of fun.

Take and Happy Stamping.

Another card.

This card is a direct c.a.s.e. from someone, but I don't remember who. I doubt if she would ever look here, but if you do, please leave me your name so I can give proper credit.

This card uses two of the beautiful new "in colors" Mambo Melon and Bermuda Bay. The Bermuda Bay stamp pad and re inker had some issues, but will be available to purchase on July 29.

Anyway back to the card, there is a piece of Razzelberry Lemonade designer paper on the side, wrapped around with a piece of Melon Mambo polka dot ribbon. Did I mention I love the new matching ribbon? Actually I love all the papers, ink and ribbons matching, that one of the things I like best about SU, everything matches.

Don't forget the vanilla Hodge Podge hardware on sale for only $18.99.

Back tomorrow. Take care and HS,

Wanda

A card from July card class

This is another one of the new "in colors". It is the soft suede, probably the only nought "bright" one. I guess the razzelberry isn't too bright either, but this is a very nice brown.

The layout here and basic design was c.a.s.e.d (copy and share/steal everything) for Julie in Canada. Her blog is paperpleasing.typepad.com.

She used Crushed Curry and white, I used Soft Suede and Vanilla.

Take care until tomorrow.

HS,

Wanda

One day I will be a professional.

Wanda

I foound them.

Here is are some pictures of the corner bookmark card, made in my new favorite in color, rich razzleberry.

I took a piece of 4in x 4in card stock and folded it in half, opened it up and fold in half the opposite way. I want to do a video on it soon along with a few other things.

I did it in several other colors. All of them are using the new in colors and a pack of razzleberry lemonade designer paper, except the green one, I use old olive card stock and designer paper.

If you can't wait for the video, just call or email for better directions.

Thanks for looking and HS (happy stamping),

Wanda
