Aztec Southwest Card

Playing around with punches and embossing folders to come up with an aztec southwest type design. I was inpsired by a throw pillow in my bedroom. The only thing stamped is from the modern mosaic set.

Embossed Doily

I started with a piece of vanilla cardstock and stamped the doily with versamark then heat embossed with stampendous' pink pastel EP. Brayered pumpkin pie, cherry cobbler and so saffron over card then sponged early espresso inside doily;wiped off excess from brayering. Used ticket punch on top and matted with espresso and added designer series button and espresso baker's twine; added dotted scallop ribbon border punched in pink pirouette and espresso. Stamped thanks so much from old sincere salutations on pink pirouette; punched with oval, and matted in espresso with scallop oval. Used ticket punch on top edges of espresso and white cardstock.

Happy Thoughts of You

This is my first attempt at the baby wipe technique. I took 4 reinkers and dropped a few of each color in a row on a baby wipe and wiped it directly on Whisper White cardstock. As I continued down, some of the colors overlapped. Then I stamped the flower directly over the top. Card is matted in early espresso.

• Cardstock: early espresso, whisper white, melon mambo
• Ink: elegant eggplant, calypso coral
• Reinkers: calypso coral, melon mambo, wisteria wonder, pool party

Father's Day Field Flowers

This is a father's day card - and the reason I can get away with beautiful flower's for a "manly" card, is that my step-dad is an amazing photographer of wildflowers : ) So he is one of the few men that might appreciate such a card. It is similar to the previously posted Field Flowers Thank You but I changed the colors to add a little more masculine tones : )

For the two-step stamping on the flowers I used Cherry Cobbler for the outline and Pumpkin Pie for the shading. Cardstock colors are Soft Suede, Cajun Craze, and Whisper White. I stamped the image before diecutting with the Labels Framelits.

Thinking of You Everyday Enchantment Card

This card was layered using the everyday enchantment DSP, the posy punch stamp set and punch, and the dotted scallop ribbon border punch. And finished off with one of my favorites - the crochet ribbon.

So Grateful

Still playing around with the Fresh Vintage SAB set, and the Everyday Enchantment DSP.  Lately I have been drawn to using the Pool Party in color.
