Fiery Blue SFYTT

Hallo,
Another short post - got home from work late (as I often do - 12 hour shift becomes 13/14 quite often these days...)
Used this weeks SFYTT - you can find it here - www.iheart2stamp.com.
For the back layer I stamped the 'Fiery floral' scrapblock from Cornish Heritage Farms with distress china blue onto white cardstock and edged it with tea dye distress ink. You can find the great scrapblock here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com
The main layer is the same scrapblock stamped onto DP. The phrase is from Gina K - www.ginakdesigns.com
The inchies are pieces left over from the card a couple days ago - stamped/embossed with walnut stain distress ink and sprayed with glimmer mist. I cut the scraps to inchie size and edged them with gold krylon.
The other layer you see in there is a cuttlebug layer that was cuttled, inked, flattened and cuttled again with a different folder, inked, flattened again - for a total of 2 folders. I have seen some cool results with this technique but need more practice as I wasn't too impressed with my effort here - LOL

This second card used the SFYTT also and CHF's 'Fiery Floral' scrapblock again - the 2 main layers stamped on both sides of a double - sided DP.
All for now - couch is calling my name ever so sweetly.... :)
Take Care

Fiery Bottle - Red

Hallo,
Short note tonight - work day....
Bottle was made using embossing ink, clear powder and glass etching cream and the 'Fiery Floral' scrapblock from Cornish Heritage Farms. You can find it here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com
You can also find a tutorial on CHF's forums too.
This is the bottle that the card from yesterday was made to match.
The tags were done with an embossing resist technique, walnut ink spray and glimmer mist.
All for now - Take Care

Beautiful CPS

Hallo,
A couple more cards for this weeks sketch at CPS - www.cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com



I used stamps from Cornish Heritage Farms - Fiery Floral scrapblock and the phrase from the 'Beautiful' set. You can find both here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com
I used distress brick red and embossing ink and powder for the base cardstock and then sprayed it with walnut ink. The main image was also stamped and embossed with walnut stain and embossing ink, and the 'Beautiful' in brisk red and embossing ink. Then I sprayed it with glimmer mist - pomegranete I believe.


I cut the layers with my newest nestabilities - labels 4 and edged with gold krylon.
I finished the first one with a brown ribbon and the second with a red ribbon - I am always pleased to see such a differnce in 2 cards just by changeing 1 simple thing can change the look of a card.
All for today - Take Care

Pink CPS Bedtime

Hallo,
I am always glad for Monday - as I am usually off work on Mondays, today is no exception - Yea Me!!!!
Started with this weeks sketch from CPS - you can see it here - www.cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com.

The stamps I used are from Cornish Heritage Farms - www.cornishheritagefarms.com
The main image is colored with my prismacolor markers - which I am just getting a chance to practice with.
I wasn't totally happy with my coloring but hopefully the couple little smears won't show too much.
The main image and layer are cut with my nesties/cuttlebug and edged with gold krylon.
The base cardstock was first stamped with the flourishes with pink and embossed with clear and then I used glimmer mist on the rest.
I didn't get much craft time today but did manage to get some errands done, a little housecleaning, and on top of that managed to decisively beat both my kiddos in a game of Monoply!!!! (which is major because I never manage to win that game!!!).
All for tonight - sitting on the couch watching House and 24.....
Take Care

Houndstooth Easter - CPS 109

Hallo,
I am preposting for the rest of the week ya'll - I work today and tomorrow, then on friday the kiddos, my Chief Enabler and I are making a trip to Pensacola. My DD is spending a month with Grandma this summer - my DM is going to help her make a quilt, so we are going to go to a couple places to find the fabric she wants for her quilt.
I did up these cards for this weeks CPS sketch - it looked easy enough when I looked at the sketch but I wasn't totally happy with my results.
I used some of the eggs from this weeks previous cards - colored with prismacolor markers. Stamp is from 'Stamps Happen'. Also used my Houndstooth cuttlebug folder and one of my nesties labels die.
