Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day! If you couldn't tell I've really loved using this bridge stamp that I found on Etsy (pinkflamingo61).

Wedding Card

I found the template for this card on Pinterest which eventually led me to The Serendipitous Stamper's website. All of the pink accents were recycled from the original wedding invitation. The sentiment, embellishments, paper and embossing are from SU.

OWH - Sketch #259

Today's card is my thank you to Sandy Allnock for all the JOY she has brought to card makers like myself and more importantly to all the troops and their loved ones who were fortunate to come across these wonderful works of art.  Here is sketch #259 from Operation Write Home.

Card Swap - Collage Stamping Technique

Here is my card swap for this month's technique. I used Stampin' Up's core'dinations cardstock with the new alphabet press embossing folder to create the background. The lobster, sea horse and script images are from the "By the Tide" set. You can view the instructions for the technique at this post.

Technique #5 - Emerging Color

This month's technique involved embossing over stamped images with clear embossing powder and then finishing off the card with a brayer and raspberry ripple ink.  The other "In Color" used was summer starfruit.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2012 (April)

For this month's tag I once again used all Stampin' Up! products.  I started by inking and embossing a chipboard bird with burgundy ink and classy copper emboss powder.  I then used a flower garden textured impressions embossing folder on the background paper and embossed the raised portions of the image with clear emboss powder.  I sponged over the image with old olive, distressed the edges and finished with crumb cake ink.  I completed the tag by adding  hodgepodge hardware, a trinket key and seam binding ribbon.  The background paper is called well worn.
