6/20/19 - Daisy Lane - Smile

Today's card is a CASE from a youtube video I found for Daisy Lane Card. I love the layout so decided to make one for one of my recent customer! The flower is stamped with Daffodil Delight and then I used the good old Rock And Roll technique to edge the flower with pumpkin pie. The stem is Mossy Meadow and the paper is also embossed with subtle embossing folder. I really like how the card turn out. Sadly for some reason the color of the DSP looks wonky but it should be Old Olive and it's from an old pack of DSP.

6/19/19 - CASE-ing Tuesday #204 - Thank You

Today's card is using CASE-ing Tuesday - inspiration is from page 46 of the current annual catalog. I truly love our catalog because there are just so many awesome samples to CASE. This one is from the suite I got most recently so I was happy to be able to play along with. I cut out the humming bird from the DSP and layer it on top of another sheet of DSP. The only thing I didn't like is the background stamping that I did, it looks a bit wonky. I also ordered the ribbon but sadly it's still on backorder! I hope you like this quick card today!

6/17/19 - Global Design Project - You've Been On My Mind

Happy Monday! Today's card is with Global Design Project. I wanted to find 3 images that fit into the sketch and the butterfly *almost* doesn't fit. I have to tug the 2 on the side underneath and put a dimensional on the middle butterfly to make that work. The whisper white is using sponge to color in to make it pop. I really like how this card turn out, I think the bright colors really pop! Hope you enjoy the card today.

6/16/19 - Fusion - Hello

Happy Father's Day - wishing everyone a great day from here in the Chicagoland! Today's card is using Fusion! It's very simple and straight forward so I decided to use Free As A Bird and coloring medium to create this card. I use the tone on tone effects on the cardstock - I love the subtle flower for it. I used the Stampin' Blends to color in the bird, I am still new at the blends so I will need more practice. Have a good day!

6/14/19 - #TGIFC216 - Thank You

Happy Friday - weekend is here!! Chicago weather is gorgeous today! I made a card using TGIF sketch challenge. When I saw the shape, I knew I have to use the greetings in Accent Blooms. I also use a fun technique where I used Sponge Dauber to ink up 3 colors on the greeting that are on the DSP. The card turns out pretty cute and I hope you enjoy it.
