MY SRM CARDS AND POST HERE
Can I tell you I just love my SRM stickers and these are so much fun and great for so many applications. I used this and this and I had so many choices on each sheet that it took me awhile to choose. The stamp is from Pure Innocence and the adorable sun is from Penny Black available in this awesome set here.
For this card I had the same problem of choosing which sticker to use. So I decided to layer them for my background and it looks really good in person. I used this set again and this. The image is from The Greeting Farm. I love how glossy accents give the sunglasses a realistic look. Don’t forget to check out SRM’s challenge here. I hope you have time to enter and there is an opportunity to guest design for SRM!
MY SQUIGGLEFLY CARDS AND POST HERE
The challenge this week at Squigglefly is to use newsprint on a card. I tore a page from a vintage book and put it right into my printer to print the digi image. I colored it with some Copic markers and covered the image with Ranger’s Studio multi medium.What i was looking for was a canvas texture that you would see on a hot air balloon. Here you can purchase the image. On the paper I scored some lines and added some distress ink . Love the pattern and it’s a digikit from Jen Martakis here.
For the Squigglefly challenge go here.
Isn’t this image awesome….when I saw it I couldn’t wait to color it. Nina Brackett is the artist and it’s available here.
Thanks for stopping and have a wonderful week. My son is graduating from high school today!
Hugs, Kathy
