50th Anniversary

 

I've not had a lot of crafting time lately but I did want to

make a special card for myy husband's sister and her husband  who

are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in April. 

   I started witha framed embossing folder and gold card stock..  I used a 

shimmery white card stock for my base and the

 heart cut from a die by Elizabeth Craft Designs.  The vellum die cuts 

are a die set by Stampin Up and the vellum has

gold specks in it- I have been using this pack for ages.

JDS-Easter Jonquils

 It is mid-month at Jan's Digital Stamp Challenge!  This month has flown by.

 I started by coloring Easter Jonquils with Copic Markers and cutting it out on my

 Scan n Cut, stamping one of the greetings from the set: Easter 

Blessing on Vellum.  Next I stenciled Catherine Pooler's Loop Braid

stencil, then I put Tim Holtz's Dot Fade stencil directly on top of it and

stenciled with a slightly darker ink.  The look you get using two stencils 

is such a wow factor.  You can go soft like I did or more vivid, 

depending on your image and the look you want to achieve.

JDS-Song of Spring

 Another month has flown by too fast, although that does mean it is time for another 

fun challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps.

 I used Sing a Song of Spring one of Jan's 3 new March releases and made a

fun fold card.  I do not know if this fold has a name.  I colored with 

Prismacolor pencils, and the patterned paper is snippets of Basic Gray

that I still have in my stash from my days with The Angel Company.

Just Because

 

Another one of my bargain stamps: Hero Arts Color Layering Waves, 

which I paired with Stampin Up's High Tide.  I used some

Snippets of paper from a paper pack from MME that is almost 

used up. This stamp was a lot of fun to use, I made several cards

while I was at it.  This one went to a dear friend for a 

special reason.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
