Here is my creation for the Wednesday Splitcoaststampers  challenge.  I used an Impression Obsession  bird stamp, inked and shaded with stencils.  I added a book page wing and a tiny heart.  Tiny strips of brown paper created the nest.  The graph paper was printed from http://www.printablepaper.net.  Inked stencils and embossed paper added accent and textures.  Ready to send to someone special!  #impressionobsession  #splitcoaststampers #rangerink

Here is my #Simonsaysstampblog Wednesday challenge card for Spring and April Showers!  Die cut Chloe flowers #memorybox  in white added to die cut circles  #nelliecirclediecuts.  Arranged on patterned paper #bobunnypaper,word banner with a yellow accent brad.  Just beautiful and simple!

Here is my card sketch for the sketch of the week for #alwaysplayingwithpaper.  I used a Penny Black stamp, embossed with white embossing powder, added shading and accents with Ranger Distress inks, stencils.  The embellishment fabric ribbon was from Heidi Swapp.  Maybe this submission will be a winner!

Lawn Fawn stamps and die cuts work so well together. I used patterned paper for the flowers, leaves and accent paper for the front of the card.  I used three different die cut circles for the background and added a  word banner.  The last touch was a small glossy accent heart.  A simple card sketch layout that can be used for many different cards.

I created a card for the Wednesday challenge at splitcoaststampers.com.  I used the bicycle die cut from Die-versions, made a template for the sloping hill and layered green patterned papers.  I added stenciled accents to the grass and blue background papers. I stamped and printed out word banners. The final touch was sparkly gems for the wheels.  Great inspirational card and ready for a special friend.

This was my design challenge for a Scrapbook Cove class to use Ranger Distress paints to create a decorated box  After many different ideas, here is my final project.  I created a die cut flower in shades of blue, silver and a scalloped edge  and leaves using the new pistachio color from Ranger.  I only had a few colors to play with.  I covered the box  and cover with patterned paper and added ribbon.  Looking good!

This is a new die cut I just got from Penny Black.  I used water color paper to die cut the flowers and then painted them with Ranger Ink dye inks in shades of red and green.  I then applied glossy accents to the flowers and stems and the extra buds. This was a card sketch for splitcoaststampers.com this week.  I added a word banner as the final touch.

This year I created a non-traditional Easter card.  I used an embossed Penny Black stamp, stencils, Copic markers, blended ink background and a mini word tag to create the image.  The background paper is from printable paper.net.  This web page has many different types of printable papers.  I love the final look. Ready for the mail soon!

Here is my card for this weekly sketch challenge for spiltcoaststampers.com.  I am sending this card to a cute dog and her family. The Boston terrier  had surgery this week and hope this helps to cheer on her recovery.  Woof!
