a MOMENT...

Howdy folks!

Here I'm using up some of the circles I've got die cut and laying on my desk,

 to make a quick card.

I added an oval with a heat embossed sentiment

and some enamel drops.

The oval is on pop-dots.

Thanks for visiting!

Have a great day!

It's a beautiful day for shopping

Hi everyone!

I've had this stamp for a while and finally decided how I wanted to use it!

I got out my distress oxide inks and made the background.

Colored the stamped image, with alcohol ink pens,

and added clouds.

A couple of the clouds 

and the stores stamp

are on pop-dots!

I don't know about you but I wouldn't mind strolling through these stores!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a happy day!

With love...

Good morning, afternoon or evening!

For whatever reason

I wanted to do a white, black and red card...

with a touch of grey!

I have a habit of die cutting way more circles than I need at a time, 

so I had these sitting on my desk ready to go.

I used a new border die for the lacy bit, 

and added the sentimemt in red embossing powder.

Can't be a card of mine without pop-dots, 

so they are on the sentiment and mat.

Thanks for the visit, it is much apprecitated!

Have a wonderful day!

hello

Hello folks!

The doodly piece on this card was printed from a page in my art journal.

I added a black mat and a new border die cut piece, 

then popped it up with pop-dots.

Put that on a Distress Oxide background I made...

and finished with a heat embossed "hello"!

Easy Peasy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!

We do not remember days...

Good day to you all!

This background die is one of my newer dies so I wanted to play with it.

My idea was to do an all white card but since my sentiment had to be in color I decide to use black embossing powder and put a black layer in below the sentiment.

I also added gold embossing to go around the sentiment.

I'm so pleased with the elegance of this card!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!

Thinking of you

 Hi all!

This card evolved out of frustration

I started out with a fussy cut flower I had stamped and colored.

For the life of me, I could not make it work!

I tried this and I tried that but...yuck!

However, in my attempts to make that flower work I had stamped this lacy doily on another piece of paper, which also didn't work! 

But alas...

An ah-ha moment!

I got out a colored piece of cardstock and my white embossing powder and "Ooo, that looks pretty!" came to mind.

But what now? 

I put the colored leaves underneath but it needed more.

So die cut another layer! 

I used the same color paper, 

and

that didn't pop enough for me!

So...

I added pop dots and some

 Nuvo Crystal Drops in Simply White 

and that did the trick. 

I added the sentiment with heat embossing to finish it off.

This card can be one of the favorites I've made!

Just goes to show

 just how good trial and error can turn out for you

 if you keep going!

Thank you for visiting!

Have a wonderful day!

You're the best

Hi folks!

The first few times I tried this technique with the Distress Oxide Inks I failed miserably but I think I've got it now! 

(smoosh ink on mat, spray with water and 

smoosh cardstock in it)

I love how my backgrounds are coming out now!

 The flower is colored with alcohol ink markers

and the sentiment is heat embossed. 

I, of course, used pop-dots 

under the flower and my colorful background paper.

I hope you like my card!

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!

Hello, it's a flower card

Hello all!

First I decided to stamp a bunch of flowers to color with some alcohol pens.

Then I decided to play with my Distress Oxide Inks

and this is what came next.....

A couple of die cuts 

 as well as some fussy cutting,

pop-dots and embossing powder

I'm loving the Distress Oxide background!
