Two Step Stamping - Girl's Day

This is Pat's card, or Patti J. as you may know her.  This is a great technique - Pat does it have a name?  I made this name up.  You stamp with the wrong side of a clear stamp - yes the wrong side, for a solid image.  Then you turn the clear stamp over to the right side and stamp in black and it just pops!!  What a dynamic card! Quick and easy too. Okay now we have the real technique name: Two Step Stamping.  I just love learning new techniques, you can do so much with them.  

Copic's on Embossing - Girl's Day

This was my mom's card.  We stamped in white pigment ink, embossed with white embossing powder and then colored with Copic Markers.  What a fun technique.  My Mom will be 83 in December and is an awesome stamper (and Mom)!! Thanks for hosting our stamping day at your house mom!

Zig Zag Accordian Card - Girls Stamping Day

Monday was girls day out.  My mom, our friends Shirley and Pat, and I each brought a project to my mom's house who lives in the middle and made the cards, chatted, had lunch and just had a wonderful girls day.  This was my project, a zig zag accordian card, a pattern I got from Technique Junkie's Fancy Folds and Motion Pater Craft CD.  Everyone's project was fabulous.  I will post all of them over the next few days!

DPDC27

This little bird is precolored by Doodle Pantry.  Their precolored images make a quick and easy card.  Of course I enjoy coloring there regular images too, very relaxing but occasionally a quick easy card is needed or you just want a quickly completed project for that nice feeling.

Kirby Rose

This is Kirby Rose from The Digi Garden.  Her dress, headband and the rose are paper pieced with DCWV the Cafe Mediterranean mat stack and I used this paper for layering also, cardstock is Amuse. Copics: E31,E35,E55, YR24,BG72,YG63,E00,E02,R01, and NO. She was so fun to color and create with!

I entered her in the Digi Garden Challenge 2.

Sunflower Bird

I colored the Sunflower Bird up again and used my scraps from the card below and mounted it on Amuse card stock.  I'm not sure which I like better.  I like the colors of this one but the one below is brighter-more highlights .  Let me know what you think!

I had so much fun coloring up this new digital image "Sunflower Bird" from Maybelle RO http://whimsyandstarsstudio.typepad.com/blog/.  Her designs are just adorable. Papers from DCWV the Cafe Mediterranean matstack.  Copics:W1, B0000, B000, B02, W1,WG63, WG67,Y35, E35,YR24.

Just Saying Hello
