Here's an Asian Colors inspired card for last week's SCS Inspiration challenge showing off a gorgeous Oprah featured table setting. I chose this HM image because of the teacup. And used stickles glitter for the tea. Colored only the teacup's handle and edges to make it pop. The sweet mice are stamped twice, cut and twice layered for dimension. The bg is CB, stitched and dotted. Im also a big "silver brad" user and its reflected in almost all of my cards... i just feel as if it adds that final finishing touch to my work.
It's been so HOT lately..... BUt, not to worry.... here are 2 cards sure to keep you cool. :) Take a look at this BEACH scene....
I really love how this HM Wedding card turned out!! It's actually one of mice playing dressup but what wedding couple wouldnt like to get a fun dressup House Mouse card like this??? :) This is a trifold card made from a single HM stamp. I separated the image of the mice and attached each layered image onto tags then added eyelets & ribbon for this finished look.
This is a great stamp to do in Black and Whites for any Graduation.
These two are very similar because they are made with same get Well stamp, but i implemented a few differences to make one masculine and one more feminine.
This Special Friend card was made while trying a new technque (for me anyway) :), called "Cracked Glass". I used Diamond Glaze over my main image, allowed it to dry then cracked the main image and scalloped circle in several spots for this look. Its kinda neat!
I couldnt decide on a sentiment for this "Fruity" HM card... but its embossed in copper colors and colored with Marvy LePlume markers for vibrant colors. Finished it off with brads in the same tones and a Heidi grace Ribbon!
