Card Swap - Owl Punch

Well I finally broke down and purchased SU's owl punch after seeing all the cool punch art on Pinterest. One of my favorite cards posted on Pinterest was done by fellow demonstrator Jill Hilliard. So, I totally CASE'd her card for my monthly card swap. Thank you Jill.

OWH - Sketch #239

Happy Saturday. Here is my card for Operation Write Home's sketch #239. The focal point of my card is SU's new "Wondrous Wreath" stamp set and matching framelit sentiment which SU offers as a bundle. Since the wreath was so large I couldn't follow the dimensions of the sketch but I tried to maintain many of the basic components.

Happy Friday! Here is this week's sketch from Scrapbook Challenges. The silhouette of my niece was created using PSE11.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2014 (Sep)

Happy September and thank you for visiting my blog. For this month's tag, Tim featured a new technique using alcohol blending solution applied through a stencil to glossy paper. Unfortunately I could not get this technique to work and believe me I tried and tried with different inks, applicators and stencils. In the end I applied versamark through the stencil and embossed with clear embossing powder. The appearance is somewhat similar but the stenciled text ends up being slightly raised.
