Delightful Thursday | Pressie Josh Birthday Card

It's Delightful Thursday and the Digital Delights design team is sharing inspiration on the Digital Delights Blog today! 
Today I'm coloring the delightful Pressie Josh! I love all of the "Pressie" series of images in the store but Pressie Josh is my favorite to color. Yesterday was my son's birthday and so I made this card for him! I've been trying some new coloring techniques and today you will notice I've gone back to using both my spectrum noir with my BIC Mark-its. For me they produced the perfect greens in the bow and hat and shirt. Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed my card.

Steampunk Love

Happy Tuesday everyone!Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I share a Steampunk Valentine using the Gears Mesh as an insert in the Mirror Mirror Doily Frame. I cut the center of my doily out with the thin oval die provided and then fit my gears behind it. Both the Gear Mesh and the Wings were cut out of black card stock and sponged with gold chalk powder to produce the shimmer.The focal heart was simply layered with the large Two of Hearts in the back, the wings and then the smaller Heart 'n Gears die cut.

Love Tag

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I share a valentine tag. I began by diecutting the snowflake mesh border out of acetate to use as a template. I spray-misted with opaque white over the top of kraft card to create the "texture" on the background. Next I stamped a grid pattern over the kraft tag and distressed and inked the edges with pink.]

For the ruffle on the bottom of the tag, I adhered a liquid glue to the back of the kraft tag and attached my crumpled Ankara Lace Border to the edge. A bit of Ankara Lace also peeks out of the side of the tag where the kraft  is ripped.

To finish off the tag, the snowflake doily was layered with the Two of Hearts and some scrolling bling. Love and You were cut and added to the bottom of the tag.

  Cheery Lynn Dies used

Snowflake Mesh Border - B372
Ankara Lace Border - B332
Snowflake Doily w/Angel Wing - DL279
Two Of Hearts - DL128
Love (Set of 2) - B227

I hope you enjoy my Love Tag! Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my project!

31 Days of Halloween | Day 20

During the month of October I am participating in a month-long blog hop with some amazing artists. Everyday you will find a new Halloween project on all of the blogs listed below. Each project must have stamping on it, be it digi or ink. There are prizes to win, be sure to check out all the rules HERE and information on the daily scavenger hunt is posted there! You must go HERE to find the item/s you are looking for the scavenger hunt.

Welcome to Day 20 of the 31 Days of Halloween hop with SmearedInk.com! Today I've created this little square card with a mummy with stamped "cloth". I stamped on a piece of white card stock with the Halloween ad page from the "seasonal catalog" from Stampers Anonymous. I embossed it with White Detail EP. Next I cut the ad into ½" strips, distressed the edges and inked the strips. I then misted the strips with white dylusions, blotting up the excess, and then with Pearl Mist again blotting up the excess.
Once dry I created my mummy focal piece and trimmed him up to size with my trimmer. I mounted him on some black card stock and the layered base. A bit of burlap string and some black bling finish off the card! I hope you enjoyed my card! Please come back tomorrow!!

Welcome to Day 17 of the 31 Days of Halloween hop with SmearedInk.com! I first want to thank you all for the outpouring of well wishes and kindness that you all offered. You're intentions were felt and appreciated! Thank you. My appointment went well and except for some soreness I came through fine on the other side. We will know more next week as to the results of the tests.

...AND now on to my tag! The sentiment with the moon and cemetery scene were created using 3 stamps from Viva Las VegaStamps. It was layered on a piece of burlap, a piece of embossed purple core card stock and a piece of orange Bazzill. All pieces were distressed and inked with my favorite Frayed Burlap! A bit of white chalk pencil doodling and pen stitching and a simple bow completed the tag! I hope you enjoy my project! Please come back tomorrow for more!
