Card for a 90 year women

Hello and welcome, 

First post of the year! Hope everyone will have a Happy New Year!

Today I want to share a card I made for one of my Mother’s friends. They worked together for many years as well. 

I started with the background, a piece of Watercolor cardstock. Then I inked my craft sheet with different pink/lilac shades of Distress Oxides. Spritzed with water and dipped the paper. Dried between layers and repeated until happy. Then I inked one of the stamps CMS460 with Archival ink in Plum and stamped. I had to stamp 3 times and moved the stamp because the background are bigger than the stamp. I used my sewing machine and stitched around the edges and then inked the with Scorched timber DI. I sprayed some pink Distress Spritz as well.

I used the Vault rosettes die 666567 and collage strips to made the flower. To use the collage strips for this is a great tip from Tim Holtz. It made it so easy. I inked the edges on the rosette with Scorched timber and splattered some Scorched timber Distress spray stain on both rosette and background. Dried with heat tool. 

I stamped the stem from CMS479 Abstract florals and colored with Distress inks. Then cut the stem out. 

Then I diecut the circle from rosette die set from Watercolor cardstock, inked in pink and stamped “90” with CMS484 Sign painter with Distress embossing ink and then used Embossing glaze in Walnut stain. Inked the edges with Scorched timber DI. 

I inked two Ideaology paper strips with Scorched timber and stitched them to the background with my sewing machine. Then I used a circle stamp from CMS396 Field notes together with Archival ink in Ground espresso. 

I also decorated the card with some half pearls in different colors (white/pink). 

I mounted the card to a pink/lilac piece of Ideaology Coredinations cardstock with 3D foam, then to a brown cardblank in the same way.

I will try this card over at Simon says stamp Monday challenge  - Add some texture. The texture I added is the 3D rosette, the pearls and stitching.

Vault Holiday classics card

Hello and welcome, 

This is a card inspired by the very talented Vicki Evans @dig_tcc. I love Vicki’s style, her make’s are so clever and inspirational.

Vicki made her card for Tim’s live when they released the Vault Christmas dies. 

Here is my take:

Trim a tree card

Hello and welcome, 

I made the tree last year and didn’t use it, so now it was time. I saw a card by the talented Barbara  @barbarayaya last year, a card she made for the release of Tim’s Sizzix Christmas dies. I could not forget about her card so I took inspiration from it when I made this card. I loved the Disney vibe her card gave me. 

I used the CMS473 Christmas cartoons on my card together with the beautiful Trim a tree die. 

I used Tim Holtz Woodgrain cardstock for the tree. I inked it with Distress inks.

The stamped images is colored with Distress inks. 

We are getting closer to Christmas now but there are some days left…

Snarky Christmas tag

Hello and welcome, 

Another tag with Zoey’s technique. This tag is made for my colleague who has three cats😻. 

For the background I used Pumice stone and Hickory smoke Distress inks and then Distress Oxide in Antique linen. 

I used Distress Mica stains and Distress inks to color the image.

I will give this tag together with a box of chocolate to show my appreciation for my colleague. He is always helpful and in good mood.

Mr Frostie tag

Hello and welcome, 

When I saw a tag that the talented Zoey @scrapsaurus made with Mr Frostie I was so inspired by the technique she used. So I had to try it. This is my take.
