Time for another round of amazing colors for the CR84FN challenge!

I had so many ideas for this color combo. They're so lovely - just gets the creative juices a'flowing.

I stamped and embossed the flowers from PTI's Summer Jar Fillers. Then I sponged around the flowers with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink (it's a bit easier to see in real life). The flowers are colored with one of my favorite, can't-do-with-out-it, kinda items - my white gel pen. The flower centers and leaves are colored with Copics. The butterfly and sentiment are from Happy Trails (PTI - stamps and dies).

Hope you like it! Make sure to swing by and check out our sweet CR84FN DT - they've always got AMAZING eye candy and inspiration for all.

Just Us Girls #132: Technique Challenge

| Published 4.13.2012

Check out the challenge over at Just Us Girls! This week, Lisa is our most wonderful hostess and she's picked a winner of a challenge.

There's a link to help you out over at Gina K's Stamp TV. Gina K does such fantastic tutorials!

This thing I love about this challenge is it's conducive to one layer cards - YAY! I started by embossed butterflies in white within a masked area. Then I sponged on Tumbled Glass distress ink for an emboss resist effect. Stitches and Swirls were then stamped in grey within the masked area. I added a little faux stitching and a banner sentiment.

Just Us Girls #126 - Sketch

| Published 3.03.2012

Time to get sketchy with Just Us Girls!

This fabulous sketch was brought to us by our sweet, talented Lynn.

I decided to try my hand at spritzing. I used of my few Glimmer Mists to spritz the card stock - it wasn't quite as splotchy as I'd like but, hey, if I'd wanted it finer, it would have come out splotchy ;) I die cut a larger butterfly and stamped it with Mehendi Medallion then placed a smaller butterfly on top.

We have a new, very talented guest DT for March!!!! Please help me welcome Marisa from Rosemary Reflections! Welcome Rosemary!!! We are so glad to have you share your incredible talents with us this month!

Hey Sports Fans! It's week 2 of the current CR84FN #36 color challenge! Here's a peek at the colors again...

The gorgeous photos in the inspiration graphic come from Martha Stewart.

This card is an amalgam of products - butterflies from Martha Stewart, flowers from PTI, fabulous sentiment from Verve (Thanks again Maureen!!!). The butterflies are embossed in black on vellum and colored with Copics. The flowers are clear embossed on the kraft and colored with pencils for a softer look.
