Lighthouses




I got some new stamps from SweetnSassy this week, so I had to play with them. They're biblical verses , it's the trust in the Lord set. Check out Korin's line of stamps at SweetnSassy . I painted

some lighthouses to go with the Faith and Trust stamps. The printed paper is Stampin'Up and the ribbon . I inked around the edges of the image. The printed paper I scuffed up those edges. Off to play some more with the new stamps.

IRIS


Another Iris painting with a different card design. This painting I put on a pretty lavender paper and added the green photo corners. The card is white cardstock.

All supplies are Stampin Up, except for the handmade paper that I painted the Iris onto.

IRIS


The big bold Iris. I used night sky,white, and school bus yellow acrylic paints for the Iris. I painted it on a handmade paper, which is something new for me. Behind the painting I put purple mulberry paper. And the cardstock is Wild Wasabi from Stampin'Up. I also outlined the Iris with a black marker.

Frogger







I got a new toy today. The word window punch by stampin' up . So with my new toy I finished off the frogger card. My stampin'up demonstrator, Dawn had sent my a Christmas card using it and I just loved her card, so I had to buy the punch. So here's the card from the front, and inside and the pocket holds a tag that you pull out. I love painting the little frog and I added the dragonflies. I sewed the pocket to the card and the belt I sewed a topstitch on the edge. Then added the two eyelets to the belt . Thanks again Dawn for the candy, I'm having fun playing with it. There's a card in the making using the wild wasabi cardstock with some purple mulberry I have. Check back to see what I create .

Mojo Monday challenge


This card I did for the week 21 of Julee's mojo challenge.


Supplies:

Printed paper by Colorbok

yellow cardstock

Stamp-Happy Easter by Stampin' up

flower punch is EK Sucess
circle punch
Glossy accents by Inkssentials
Fibers from yarn shop. Fizz yarn
White and burnt umber acrylic paints
When I saw this printed paper, my first thought was it would make a great Easter card. So, I used Julee's card sketch for Week 21. The colorbok paper had all the great colors in the one 12x12 paper, so I used it for the white flower centers by tearing a circle and then put the glossy accents to give it dimension. The small flower I punched out of the paper also and the center of the flower. Why match colors they were all right there in the paper. So I also stamped the Happy Easter using the paper. And the fibers went great with all the colors in the paper.
