Having fun playing with my new stuff. This is the first time I've had the seam binding ribbon and I love working with it. It is so easy - especially for a lackluster bowtier like me! The window frames framelits are new too! I stamped the poppies on watercolor paper, colored with blender pen and ink, cut with window frame framelit, then pierced. Added labels framelit in black with distressed edges. The background paper is from DCWV mat stack; embossed with vintage wallpaper EF then distressed edges and matted with black, also distressed edges.

To make this card I first stamped the poppy image in rich razzleberry on whisper white cardstock, heat embossed to set ink, then colored image with versamark pen and heat embossed with clear EP. Brayered pink pirouhette, cajun craze, rich razzleberry, not quite covering the previous color as I brayered the next; embossed the image with perfect polka dot EF and cut with labels framelits and sponged rich razzleberry around the edges.
This is a simple and elegant thank you card using the flower from an old hostess set called simply soft. I love how the 2 step stamping works on this flower to give it a watercolor look.
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.

I stamped the butterflies on whisper white, and colored with chalk; then sponged in the different colors in a circular patterns around the butterflies (started with so saffron and daffodil delight, cajun craze and calypso coral, baja breeze and marina mist, then wild wysteria and elegant eggplant).

I stamped sentiment on whisper white, sponged in elegant eggplant and daffodil delight; matted with oval scallop and added itty bitty flower punch with a rhinestone.
I love the homegrown veggies in the summer - so here goes another artichoke card! I first stamped the artichoke on whisper white and then colored with markers and blender pen. I followed with sponging in a circular pattern with the various colors to give the tie dye effect; then I embossed the entire image with vintage wallpaper EF.

I stamped another artichoke on whisper white and cut around it, added some pop up circles. Stamped itty bitty banner sentiment and added to card; added rhinestones. Matted card with black and certainly celery.
I used the brayer technique on this card. I first stamped the field flowers and butterfly in black stazon; then stamped the shading part of field flowers in so saffron. I colored the butterfly with markers. Then I used a versamarker to cover the images and embossed them with clear embossing powder. I brayered daffodil delight in bottom left corner at an angle. After masking off the sun with a post it, I brayered from the top right hand corner at an angle: so saffron; then moving up a little and not quite covering all of the so saffron added calypso coral; then not covering all of the calypso coral added melon mambo; sponged in so saffron on the sun.
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.
