Waterfront Card

A new to me set that is going to take some

practice - and looking for lots of inspiration to use!

This is a water color look set from Stampin' Up!

called Waterfront. I had to get it to make a 

birthday card for my Uncle that recently

moved from Alaska to Georgia. 

Inspired by a sample I found online somewhere.

Thanks for looking :)

 

Country Home Milk Can Card

A cousin of mine and her husband are remodeling

an old farmhouse with a modern country theme

so I thought this combination 

of stamps would be perfect for her birthday.

Timeless Tropical card

A cousin retired recently and her family had

a tropical themed party for her,

so I made this card inspired 

by a Stampin' Up! catalog sample.

Beautiful Friendship card

I got a smudge on the card front and decided to hide

it with this piece of ribbon and brad. 

Not sure that I like it though...........

50th Anniversary Card

Well, the patterned paper piece behind the 50 seemed to

match the card better while I was making it in another room

with different lighting. Taking a photo of it in this room

filled with lots of natural light, it looks off. Sigh...

The background has lots of texture from an embossing folder,

 We R Memory Keepers - Next Level 3D Embossing Folder.

.

I decided to rub metallic "paint" over it,

Craf T Products Rub On Color Kit.

I die cut a paper doily and the number 50

with dies from Stampin' Up!

The rubber stamp and card stocks are

also from SU!

The patterned paper piece is a scrap from

some Christmas cards I made (to be 

shared next month) and is from the 

gorgeous Falloween paper stack by DCWV.

Thanks for looking =) 

 

A Little Lace Card

Good Things Grow cards

Wow, the colors in this Paper Pumpkin kit (Good Things Grow)

are weird to me, pretty bright.

It's an oldie I came across second hand and had no idea

of the true colors of the elements until I opened it.

I added a little more color with alcohol markers

or a bit of watercolor to try to mute it somewhat. 

It helped a little. 

I changed the kit layouts, too,

and added stamped greetings from other sets I own.

Thanks for looking =)
