Hello Friend

This boot is from the happy you hostess set. I made the flower matting using the 1 3/8" circle, the 1 3/4" scallop, the fancy flower, and the 2 3/8" scallop punches. I stamped the wonderfully worn background stamp in white on the early espresso cardstock then embossed with the polka dots. The hello is from the tiny tags set and punched with the jewelry tag. Simple and fun!

OLD TRUCK Mancard

The idea of this card was a love you or valentine MANCARD. This truck is from the countryside stamp set. The background paper is cajun craze, baja breeze, soft suede, black and floral districut DSP. The truck was stamped in stazon brown on watercolor paper, then colored with markers and blender pen. I stamped LOVE on baja breeze and added to tailgate of truck. I had to piece together the "all i want is you" phrase and "love" from different stamp sets. After I cut the truck image with the labels framelits, I also used the labels framelits on soft suede, then trimmed off the bottom portion and adhered to the truck image. Then added a small strip of black.

SUPPLIES:

• baja breeze, cajun craze, soft suede, watercolor, black cardstock; floral district designer series paper
•  countryside, pennant parade (love), best of everything (all i want is), tiny tags (you)
• timber brown stazon ink
• word window, tiny tag punches; labels framelits; argyle embossing folder

Tortoise Shell Father's Day

I wanted the green background print to look like a tortoise shell - for some reason I woke up thinking about that ( :

To get the look, I took Wild Wasabi paper, and stamped the background print from Fresh Vintage in Early Espresso. Then I crumbled the paper up and sponged on Old Olive, Certainly Celery and Soft Suede. I covered with versamark ink and heat embossed; then embossed it with the vintage wallpaper EF. wheeew!

The boot is stamped in Early Espresso, and colored with Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and blender pens. I sponged Soft Suede and Early Espresso around the image.

The ribbon is some old SU twill tape I had - I stamped it with the background image from the Fresh Vintage set in Soft Suede to give it a worn look.
