Amazing Technique

 

Hello!  This is a card that I made after watching a  video by Jennifer McGuire on making monochromatic cards and layering stamps.  I loved her cards and just had to give this technique a try.  This is one of the results from my trials.

Supplies used:  Verve stamps from Nature Walk and Fabulous You, Yellow and White Cardstocks, Memento Tangelo Ink, White Gel Pen, Vellum, Versamark, White EP, Die Cut.

I thought this would fit the challenge at Mod Squad Challenge Blog this week-Pattern Your Paper.

Time to Celebrate the 4th

Hello! How quickly June has gone.  We will soon be celebrating the 4th with picnics, cookouts, parades and fireworks.   I pulled out some old Verve stamps from American Hero set to create a Patriotic card for the upcoming holiday.  I used SU Brilliant Blue, Kraft, and White cardstocks with Memento Love Letter and Danube Blue inks, Nesties Circle Dies, Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Die, and Cuttlebug EF Stars.  I heat embossed the Star with Gold EP.
