Just For You

Lori and I got together and each made a card last night. Here's mine. It's not for a challenge or anything this time, though hopefully I will get on top of one of those soon!

And, there's a surprise inside! Really I just needed an excuse to use the lines from Notes & Details, and my exciting new Spiral Border punch!

So there's not too much to this one. The inside I stamped the lines on, cut around it, punched the edge, and picked out the edges a little with soft suede sponging. On the front it's all just tearing, cutting, and sponging! Here's a list of supplies:

Paper: Old Olive CS, Crumb Cake textured CS, Botanical Gazette DSP
Stamps: Notes & Details, Plane & Simple, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Dream Gardens
Ink: Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Night of Navy
Extras: Stampin' Dimensionals, Gold brads, Spiral Border Punch

Thanks

Another card for Embellish Magazine's Color Trends Challenge. If you didn't see, my submission last challenge was selected for the What's Hot Top Designers, for which I am very honored! Let's see if we can do it again this time!

For this one, I used some scraps from Botanical Gazette DSP, and from the Royal Patterns DSP, plus a few neutrals. After that I pretty much just stamped, tore, and sponged for the effects you see. Props to Brenda Weaver, whose design inspired the vertical panels in this one. And now I have another thank you card to send out to family who sent me birthday cards! Sorry it's late, Aunt Donna!

Here's the challenge:

Dad's Day

When Father's Day rolls around, I'm going to have to adopt a few spare dads to give all these Father's Day cards to! This one is for a color challenge over at Embellish Magazine. Not a whole lot that's hard to figure out on this one... There's two patterns of Botanical Gazette DSP in it (the same as my Mom's Birthday card a post back) and some dirty fingers from inking the edges. Anyway, the challenge is below, and requested a masculine card in addition to the colors.

Mom's Birthday Card

Happy birthday, mom! I had to steal this card back from her so I could get a photo for this blog! Anyway, I started with the green flower (which was actually inspired by a teacher's shirt...). Then I grabbed some other sheets of Botanical Garden DSP and some ink and of course my lighter and that white powder I love (Clear Emboss FTW!) and just ripped and stamped and glued until I felt like it was done!
