Bells and Boughs

I made this card last year, but I don't think I ever got it posted on the blog.  I love this card, and it is actually not that hard to make.    

Use the Frame Oval Scallop die for your Cherry Cobbler frame and for the large oval in Very Vanilla.  StazOn ink for the image, so the ink does not run when you use the Aqua Painter to color the image.  Sponge around the outside of the oval.  Layer the images on top of the embossed card stock to make your card.

Supplies:  Bells and Boughs stamp set, Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla card stock, StazOn-Black, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and Crumb Cake Classic inks, Aqua Painter, Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder with Big Shot, Frame Oval Scallop die, sponges.

Fun Punches!

These great cards are from my Punch Card Class, and were so much fun to make!
Contact me for a kit of the punched cards from this class if you could not attend.  You get 6 cards in the set for $10, plus shipping cost if you live far.  Card stock is cut and scored, I did the punching and Big Shot work from the class, you just need to stamp and put together.  Contact me at tam_morton@earthlink.net to order.

Pansy Watercolor Card

I have seen lots of variations on this card, and what fun!  Here are the supplies I used and how I made those fun pansies.  The great thing about the Shimmery White card stock is the sparkle you get when you are done.  It may not show up that well here, but I love how it looks when the light hits it.  Contact me for more information at tam_morton@earthlink.net.

Supplies:

Perfect Punches and Sincere Salutations stamp sets

Card stock:  Very Vanilla, Elegant Eggplant and Shimmery White

Ink:  Elegant Eggplant ink pad and refill, Daffodil Delight refill

Big Shot with Manhattan Impression Folder and Top Note die

Butterfly, Wide Oval  and Large Oval Punches

Rhinestone Brads and the NEW Jewels - Rhinestones

Butterfly Pansies 

1.     Punch out two butterflies from Shimmer White cardstock (two for each flower).

2.     Spritz them with water (allowing the water to puddle and pool).

3.     Load Aqua Painter with Eggplant Envy ink (from a re-inker)  and touch the brush to the outer edges of the butterflies.   The ink will spread, but you might have to "help" it along.

4.     Touch the middle with Daffodil Delight Ink (from a re-inker)

5.     Let mostly dry (you can let sit, dab a little off, or heat set)

6.     Curl or push up edges so flower curls up a little.

7.     Adhere one butterfly crosswise over the other one by using a brad, or glue together and put a Jewel on top.
