Card Beading

Today's Card uses the SU Silver beads! Micro and Bungle. The SU bead duo assortments are perfect for Cards & Scrapbook pages! Offering no bulk for mailing too! They come in 6 different colors: Pink, Blue, Green, Orange, Red and Silver. I really love these beads and the unique look they offer so I'm going to try to post a project using them over each of the next few days! How fun! I embossed the flowers from Fifth Ave. Floral set on shimmery C/S with versa mark ink and silver powder. I used SU markers to color the flowers- Markers: Apricot, Banana, Pumpkin, Mustard. The aqua painter was used to fill in the darker colors, direct from the pen. Cut flowers out. I stamped the background with the new Vintage vogue set from the Occasions mini with silver Encore ink. The greeting is from Teeny tiny wishes set stamped with silver Encore ink. I also stamped with Silver & Black inks Punpkin Pie C/S and punched out the wide oval. Punch out the label with Brushed silver C/S and use the white gel pen for the dots.The centers of the flowers are the Micro Silver beads applied with Crystal effects and the corner and variously applied beads are the Bungle small beads applied with Crystal effects!

Faux Turquoise Technique

Well I decided to add this card to my blog today because I love collage and I didn't have this added to any of my galleries. The center of the medallion I used the Faux Turquoise Technique which you can find in the Oct/Nov. issue of Technique Junkies! I wanted to feature the turquoise on the card and of course all I could see was jewelry peices in my mind! I embossed the medallion from Boho backgrounds set on brushed silver with silver embossing powder then trimmed. The chain could be drawn with a versa marker and embossed with silver. Sets for this card include: Charming, Medallion, Boho Backgrounds, retired Weathered background and En Francais. C/S: Shimmery, Dusty durango, T. turquoise and Brushed silver. Inks: Suede, Durango, Bermuda, Sahara sand & versa mark.

Class Card

VS Inspired

While Christmas shopping in Sacramento, CA I walked into Victorias Secret and there across the wall was a mural of this silhouette with a gradual outline of pink. I tried to re-create it on a card and ended up settling with this! LOL

Beaded Images

This card was a swap. I got the idea for this from a Jewelry line of stamps I saw!

Any open image flower stamp will do!

Glitter Tree

Christmas Cards are my favorite! This year I got out all my retired SU sets and made a few cards from each set!

Simple Roses

Watery Roses

This card is stamped on watercolor paper which was misted first with water. As I stamped the images, I kept the watercolor paper damp, spraying constantly. Very blurred but adds to the look as the ink runs slightly.

Masked Roses

Yellow roses

A few Handbags I LOVE!

A few Handbags I LOVE!: "Purses or Handbags are me! (purses are Cherie.com) I love purses and I do own a few brand names, I also look for bargains and love to watch ebay for that super deal because someone doesn't realize what they have! LOL I also have a couple knockoffs that I love especially because I paid way way less then the real thing would cost! Ok so I'm cheap too, no just not rich which I am perfectly fine with and honestly who cares, it just has to look SWEET!"

Punch Art Surprises

Punch Art!
I really love Punch art! Punch Art being items created using punched out images pieced together using more then one punch. I signed up for an ATC punch art swap at the last minute for convention this year and was sorry I didn't sign up for more groups because the ATC's were fantastic!
As I sat surrounded by punches designing my little purses, I occasionaly had to clean up a bit so I would have room to stamp! As I was picking up scraps off the floor too big to vaccum up, I came across these scraps and thought 'WOW, ok that's super cool!'
I had punched out several 'bases' for one of my little punch purses and in the process decided it was easier and faster to cut strips of cardstock to punch. I didn't realize at the time, punching several out side by side would give me a super cool goblet or wine glass! So here are the single scraps I found on the floor along with the left over section of punched cardstock!
This was punching one half of the round tab punch side by side!"
