365 Cards Day 251 – Black, White & Yellow

  • Stamp – Inkadinkado “Penguins”
  • Die cuts made from Spellbinders Nestabilities “Classic Ovals” and “Lacey Ovals”
  • Patterned paper – Pebbles “Nancy”
  • Ribbon – American Crafts
  • Crystal stickers – Clear 2mm, Mark Richards, Inc.

This was a fun color combination–and what better way to use black and white (and yellow) than in creating a penguin?! Hurray! I made this card in response to the challenge at 365 Cards for Day 251 – Black, White and Yellow color combination. I like adding one more color to black and white in cardmaking. Thanks for stopping by today.


365 Cards – Mirror Image – Tree Reflection

 

  • Stamp – Memory Box “Tree Border”
  • Patterned cardstock – BoBunny “Powder Blue Vintage,”Powder Blue Flourish”
  • Pearls – Prima “Say it in Pearls: Slip Center Grey”
  • Patterned paper – Melissa Frances “Betty Ann”

This card featured my first real mirrored image attempt for the 365 cards Day 185 challenge: Mirror Image. I used the Memory Box “Tree Border” stamp and the watercolor technique with Distress Inks. I stamped with a Distress Ink pad and then touched up the stamp (direct to rubber) with a couple more colors of Distress Ink Markers. Then I gave it a little spritz of water and stamped onto watercolor paper for the reflected portion of the image. I used the same stamp to stamp the top image with VersaFine ink. The sketch I used is the current one at Freshly Made Sketches: #50. I really liked this sketch–it was really perfect to display the image. Thanks for visiting. I have now officially finished one full week of challenges at 365 Cards! Hurray!


Card Patterns Sketch #134

  • Stamps – Studio G “Snowflakes” and The Cat’s Pajamas “Penguin Christmas” (snow days)
  • Patterned papers – BoBunny Back to Backs “Dots” papers
  • Cardstock – Bazzill
  • Cuttlebug embossing folder – “Textile”
  • Border punch – EK Success “Open Scallop”
  • Pearls – KaiserCraft
  • Die cut – Spellbinders Nestabilities “Classic Scallop Rectangles”

This card was made based on the Card Patterns Sketch #134, the current sketch there. I’m going through a little snow phase this week (more to come), so forgive me! It is a little early, but since many of my cards go to the troops via Operation Write Home, I have to ship them off pretty early. Thanks for the visit.
