Alpha A=Accessories

 I am in a challenge group at Splitcoaststampers.com called the Alpha challenge.  We are in season 23, and the first prompt is Accessories.  Think Antiques. 

 

   I have a good friend that dances as does her husband.  I thought this set was perfect for them and bought it to make her a Birthday card. 

 The stamp set is called Sock Hop by Catherine Pooler.  

I used distress inks on the background, added a musical notes stencil then added the die cuts over that.  The sentiment is a digital image.

 I love these sweet images- I used  "Everything Is Coming Up Roses" 

  ( Stampabilities HMJR1074 )

 Yellow and peach roses remind me of my Mother- she was a master gardener and had beautiful roses in her garden. 

 I used Copics to color the image, a digital sentiment and I embossed with a folder from Spellbinders.  The lacy floral die cut is Dies are Us. (Who have gone out  business).

Please visit my DT teammates on my sidebar- what a fun collection of cards they have created!

I'm Back! Teapot Tuesday for Sharon

We went on a trip to celebrate my husband's retirement and his 65th Birthday!  We are beginning he next chapter!

I wanted to post this 'card kit' I made for my friend Sharon- she had a big shoulder surgery, so we had a Teapot Party for her over at Splitcoaststampers. 

 The kit idea is to make a card, and include 'ingredients' for Sharon to make a card.

I used a SU embossing folder and rubbed Turquoise ink over the top.  The piece I put in Sharons kit had the ink rubbed onto the embossing folder itself- so similar but not exactly the same. 

Next, I colored up a bluebird image by Northwoods and matted it. The Thinking of you is die cut from North Coast Creations. There is another embossing folder used for the sentiment. 

 I included a couple more die cuts for Sharon to have on hand for later, as well as some sentiments. 

Wahoo- I have work to do here, so I had better get on the ball!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stash buster

Cleaning out my stash, I found a beautiful card kit Darlene sent me 5 years ago.  We were in a swap group over at Splitcoaststampers  There were beautiful DP, Butterfly images, ribbons, gems- such a lovely collection.  Well, while visiting a friend, Sharon, I challenged us to use this kit and create cards.  We had a great time and were very productive!

This is my first card.  I so love butterflies, especially Monarchs!  I used the Alpha prompts for H for this card= and the DP has Green and Golds- bingo!

I love butterflies and birds. This was my friend Sharon's stamp....!  I loved it and wanted to use it for a card. I read the teapot recipient (A Splitcoast challenge)  loves bluebirds, etc....  but after the fact, I re-read and we were supposed to make nautical cards.  Doesn't this look Nautical to you???  LOL

My friend, Sharon created 3 cards- all beautiful from the kit.

We went letterboxing together before a snowstorm with gusty winds hit- and it was `8 when we headed out!  But it was such a fun and warm welcoming visit!  

Thanks for stopping by!
