Cards from the weekend.

I had lots of fun this weekend making cards.  Mostly experimenting!  The top card has a flower made from a combination of punches.  Blossoms punch and one from Blossoms Petal Builder.  The center of the flower is a rose I made using a five petal punch.  The flower started out with So Saffron card stock.  The back layer I spritzed pretty heavy with a tango tangerine mist.  Used alcohol and a stamp refill for color.  The middle layer I again spritzed but not as much.  Yes, I did scrunch up the petals in the back.  Only when all was dry I glued them together.
The stamps I used were Button,Button and Tagtastic.  Unfortunately the Tagtastic set is discontinued.

The second card mixes it up  I had a tag from Stamp of Authenticity. I layered a stamp on top of this from Friends Never Fade..  Both of these stamp sets are gone.  Boo hoo.The top of the card is DSP in  the color Perfect Plum.  I added some left over paper, ribbon and buttons mounted on a purple paper.  If you look close you can see I distressed the purple

The last card is a favorite of mine.  Making the flower out of the word punch was a blast.  I shortened the length of each punch as I got closer to the center.  The flower is More Mustard card stock..  Made a small spiral flower for the center.  The pearl in the center of the flower was SU's white and I used my blender pens and Not Quite Navy ink to make it stand out.  The Modern punch has a saying from the stamp set Creative Elements.  It's one of my favorites.  The paper behind the flower is a left over piece.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Bye for now.

Made this card today with an old stamp set called "Stamp of Authenticity"  Used a die to cut the notebook edge.  Embossed the Very Vanilla card stock. Card mounted on Soft Suede.  Ribbon placed between the Soft Suede and the Very Vanilla. A button tops the bow and it's connected using embroidery floss.   I distressed the edges and antiqued them with Soft Suede Classic Ink.  Fun to do
Have a great day..

Hello everyone.  Posting my latest cards.  Top card uses 1" circles to form base of card.  The oval frame is embossed and the oval is stamped with a background stamp in pink and the forefront bird and script is in gray.  Both the frame and the oval are left over from a previous project.

The second card is bright and happy.  I do need to work on my "sun".  Used a round stamp and then cut into it to make rays.  Looks more like a gear!  The background of this card is a Bingo stamp.  I cut letters and numbers out of the summer smooches paper.  The word relax is stenciled over white card stock.  The ink is Daffodil Delight.

Last shown is a card using Summer Smooches paper in a more casual format.  I tore the sheets to fit the card.  I embossed the solid Daffodil Delight paper.  Used my paper punch to make lines for stitching.  Orange thread looks great on the card. The flower is a stamp and a  punch.  The center of it is a fabric Designer brad.  A little tulle netting finishes the flower.  I cut two punch designs out in Tangerine Tango and placed under flower.  Added sentiment and a bow and we're done.

Hope you enjoyed today's cards.
