Rainbow Moon

Hallo,
  Just a sweet little project to show you before I head off to work for the evening....
  I made this up like a playing card with an image on the front and the back with a plainer image that I will duplicate. The little store here in town that I have some of my art consigned too is also a meditation and spiritual center and they do readings and such. One of the customers asked if I could do personal reading cards - well she never got ahold of me to tell me what she wanted but I liked the idea so I plan to do up a few just for fun and take then down there.
  This image is from Sweet Pea Stamps and is called 'Rainbow Moon' by Linda Biggs.
  I colored her with copics and then added glitter to her wings, seashells, parts of her tail and a bit in her hair and on the stars.
  The last picture is the back of the card  - I used a mandala type stamp from Papertrey Ink embossed in black onto a pretty gold sparkly paper from Paper Temptress.
   All for tonight - Take Care

Accu cut landscape die and Rick St.Dennis

Hallo,
  Well my puppies are happy campers today - they didn't get a walk yesterday because of the rain (and I was too tired after work in the am to brave the rain...) so I got them (and me :) a good long walk this morning. Chilly but that just made me walk faster which is better for me and the pups too(they would love it if I ran but that aint happenin :)
    Todays card is another from my class on Monday (a 3D box and card class that I  am teaching with our local, all volunteer adult learning organization here in town).
   I used a wonderful die from Accu cut designed by my friend Vicki Chrisman, and a digital image from Rick St.Dennis - and I guess you can say that this is my very first card with one of his images (I have several colored up but not made up into anything yet...)
  The black base is a very heavy black cardstock that is almost chipboard weight and works perfectly for this die. and then I used a pretty silver paper from Paper Temptress that I cannot remember the name of....
  I kept this one fairly simple with minimal decs just cause I really liked the black and white and silver.
  I used a white with silver ribbon as a closure for this card - and I stamped a phrase on that panel but it doesn't show up well (I will adjust that once I get a spare minute .....
   And speaking of spare minutes, I am out of them for now - I have and art class, then post office, bank, groceries and then maybe some craft time this afternoon......

3D box and card class - more stairstep cards....

Hallo,
  Been a busy day for me here - got a bit of sleep this am and then up by noon to make a class with CLL that I am taking, then a couple errands, then home to play with the pups (rainy, damp and very cold today so we played house tag and house fetch :)
  So now finally some blogging time...
   This is another sample from my 3D box and card class. I used all the same papers and such as yesterdays card but the main image is one from a blog called " Two for Tuesdays" - She post old/vintage photos and magazine pages that are free for you to use  - I have a file made to save ones I liked over the last couple years and just love this flower!!!
I used some silver corner stickers on this one and some shiney flowers with a pearl center. I also used a black pearl outline on the flower panel that I think really makes it pop....
  All for today - trying to get my 3D box class organized and started for next Monday because I got talked into an extra shift on Friday night so am working all weekend....

3D box and card class - stairstep card

Hallo,
  A quick note today before I head off to bed for the morning....work ya know :)
  I had the second session of my 3D box and card class with our local, all volunteer adult learning organization here in town and this week I had for them 2 styles and all in black and white.
  For this card I used and Accucut die which makes doing a stairstep card so quick and easy that it is ridiculous!!!!
  I used a pretty white/silvery shimmery cardstock from Paper Temptress called 'silver luster' for the base and then had some panel made up for them to add as they wished using stamps from Flourishes (sadly, no longer in business, but still some of my very favorite stamps!!!). I had them edge the edges of the panels with silver metallic ink and then for my demo model here I added some pearls and a white ribbon flower and a pretty little cameo button
  All for today - will have more class samples for you over the next couple days :)

Rock my world

 Hallo,
   Monday again and need to get a move on here this am - pups want their walk and I have class at 10am .
  My card for today is another Valentines Day shaker card - love that die :)
  I used an image from Sweet Pea Stamps called 'Rock My World' by Amanda S Bryon. I colored it up with prismacolor pencils and added it to the inside of the shaker card along with some clear beads and small red foil hearts (and the clear plastic sheet to prevent it all from falling out of course :)
  I then decorated the outside with rows of red rhinestones and glittered foam hearts.
  All for today folks - Take Care
