Card Swap - March

This month's card swap, as well as the remaining card swaps for the year, will not have a specific technique or theme. Just an FYI if you'd been following along with last year's monthly techniques and swaps.

For this card I actually had over a dozen of these cool sun guys stamped and colored and I thought the image would look great over some heavily embossed and coordinating paper. I finished the card by using my air spritzer (again) to add a touch of gold ink before I adhered the sentiment which I thought went well with the clocks in the background. Hope you like it.

OWH - Sketch #169

Happy Spring! Circles are the focus of week's sketch from Operation Write Home. Fortunately I had most of the components of this card sitting around but I just wasn't happy with how they were going together until I saw this sketch. The sun was colored using markers and blender pens from Stampin' Up!

OWH - Sketch #159 and #160

I spent the last week vacationing in Palm Springs so I was inspired by the sun.  Here are my cards for sketches #159 and #160 from Operation Write Home. I stamped both images with Black StazOn to prevent them from smearing. I then used Stampin' Up! blending pens and markers to add the color to the sun and cut it out using my coluzzle.  The moon was stamped on vellum and left plain since I didn't want it to compete with the busy background.
