Oh Snowy Night

Inspired by my front yard...

I first stamped the tree from LOVELY AS A TREE set in basic black onto basic gray cardstock. Stamped again and then "stamped off" before masking and then stamping the lighter background trees. Then using the stamp a ma jig, I stamped a light shadow of very vanilla, inking the left side of the stamp heavier than the right. Sponged in very vanilla across the bottom, and sponged the moon in reverse punch out of 1 3/8" circle.

Sentiment is from teeny tiny wishes.

Colorful Woodgrain

stamps - sincere salutations, lovely as a tree
ink - pumpkin pie, rich razzleberry, melon mambo, wild wasabi, going green, black stazon
cardstock - espresso, whisper white
accessories - primrose petals stitched ribbon, scallop oval and scallop punch, large scallop edgelit, woodgrain embossing folder
 
To make the background on the woodgrain, I colored the negative of the embossing folder with a pumpkin pie and rich razzleberry pen.

For the tree scene, I stamped the tree in stazon black, masked off the sun, and sponged in the various colors.

French Foliage Thanks

I saw this card technique posted on Stampin' Connection by Marian Garcia. I loved the simple effect of the masking and sponging. I changed the colors and added the tab at the top.

Mask off the top and bottom of the card leaving the width exposed that will be sponged. Sponge in graduated colors - dark, medium, light. I began by sponging the daffodil delight on the right and worked my way left, adding calypso coral to the middle and melon mambo to the far left side. Whie still masked, use espresso to stamp the leaves that will only be inside the masking. Remove the mask and stamp the rest of the leaves that overlap the masking in espresso; add the dots and and round paris stamp in melon mambo. Stamp sentiment and add word window punch to top with button and baker's twine. Cardstock is so saffron.

Birthday Jump

This card is for a friend's 13th birthday. The 4 wheeler is from the RIDE ON set (retired). I masked off the sun and bottom and brayered so saffron, calypso coral and rich razzleberry. Stamped tree tops from LOVELY AS A TREE. Sponged soft suede, basic black and espresso on the bottom. Stamped 4 wheeler and colored with sahara sand a basic gray, colored trees with moss, sponged a little yellow in the sun and added white highlights to the rider and trees.

Deep In Thought

This scene was created by masking off, brayering, and sponging. After stamping the lady in the boat in stazon black, I colored the image with markers, then a versamarker pen and embossed with clear embossing powder. Then masked off the skyline and the sand and brayered bashful blue and marina mist for the water. Masked sun and water and brayered blush blossom and bashful blue for the sky. Sponged in river rock, sahara sand, daffodil delight, soft suede for the sand. Stamped palm tree in black and colored with markers. Added shadows and white highlights. The lady in the boat is from an old SU set called summer by the sea. The happy birthday is from the itty bitty banners and is cut with bitty banners framelits. Palm tree is from all night media.

Wolf Father's Day Card

Another Father's Day card using Nature Silhouettes, Lovely as a Tree, and the brayering technique.
First I masked off the moon and the bottom hill with post it notes. Then I brayered Daffodil Delight just above the hill; masked off the top portion and brayered Calypso Coral just above the Daffodil Delight. Removed the top mask and brayered Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant over that, then Not Quite Navy. Removed the moon mask and sponged a Daffodil Delight. Stamped the background trees in black; removed the bottom hill mask and sponged the hill in with Lucky Limeade and Always Artichoke. Stamped the front trees. Stamped the wolf at the top of the hill; sponged in a little bit of Soft Suede under the hill line and around the bottom edges. Used ticket punch on the top right corner, added word window in Lucky Limeade and Elegant Eggplant; added brads.
