Hero Arts 1 Layer Card

This white image is a Melissa Frances stamp set and all the images look like lace. I masked the circle area before stamping the white embossed image, then added the Hero Arts bunny and embossed the circle for some dimension. Sentiment is from Papertry Ink's Mega Mixed Messages. Have you seen the Stickles color Tiara? It's this amazing combo of silver and pink. That's what is in the centers of the little bunny flowers. Then I added white to the bunny's dots with a Signo gel pen.

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge and Papertrey Ink Blog Hop



This is what my patterned paper looked like before I assembled the card. These patterns are hard on us perfectionist types. LOL! I later added the balck rhinestones to the damask images.
The black and yellow images are from the Simply Stationary set.


This card was made for Dawn McVey's color challenge and Papertrey Ink's Blog Hop. I love how these colors look together. Cardstock is all Papertrey Ink: White, Summer Sunrise, Lemon Tart and Hibiscus. Ink colors are the same as the cardstock colors and I also used Papertrey True Black ink. I just got the True Black and it is as wonderful as they say and then some. Such a crisp image. The lattice border is a MS punch. May Arts polka dot ribbon, and Hibiscus button layered on to a white button.
Stamp sets are Papertrey Ink's Damask Designs, Guidelines 1 and Simply Stationary.

Simmery Wedding Card

This card was made with PTI Vintage Cream cardstock and K & Co Amy Butler patterned paper. Flower Cart stamp is Inkadinkadoo. I colored it with copics and placed a TE tiny black rhinestone in the middle of the wheel. It's hard to photograph little details like that. The centers of the 2 pink flowers have a dot of Platinum Stickles. Sentiment is PTI Mixed Messages (the original!)

Bella image was colored with Copic Markers and citrine-colored rhinestones glued to the centers of the flowers. So I forgot and added them before running the paper through the cuttlebug and it smashed them. But they look kind of neat. PTI White cardstock and Basicgrey Sultry patterned paper. Sentiment is from PTI Tags for Spring.

All patterned paper is MME. Cardstock is PTI Aqua Mist. Cupcake image is SU! paper pieced with MME paper. I cut an oval with a nestability and stamped the sentiment inside the opening. Flower sprinkles were made with several different 'little' punches and decorated with Fruit Punch stickles and aqua rhinestones. This little cupcake was a blast to decorate:)
