Spreading Kindness 1 Card @ A Time
This is a card using papers and dies from the Stamps of Life and OWH sketch #123. Using a Copic multiliner and a white Sakura gelly roll pen, I added the dots and dashes to doodle up the card. I saw this technique on Taylored Expressions blog .
Thanks for stopping by.
It is time for Challenge #3 over at Words2ScrapBy. These ladies started their blog in January and one of my goals for 2014 was to step out of my comfort zone and join in a challenge or two. It was a little more comfortable for me because these ladies are fellow OWH card makers. So far I linked a card for the January challenge, two for the February challenge and below is my card for the March challenge.
Your challenge is to make a card inspired by one of the 4 quotes listed below. Entries must be linked by March 21.
I’ve had this cute stamp set from Taylored Expressions and I love the sentiment so much.
I colored in the wreath using copics, then cut the wreath out using the matching die. I layered it on some lavender card stock using Spellbinders die. I fussy cut the two doves and used dimensional tape to pop them up. Used a cuttlebug embossing folder for the green layer and used a white piece for the sentiment then used a die cut — I left the sentiment in the die and sponged Memento lulu lavender around the sentiment – that gave me a white border around the sentiment (it softens it up a bit rather than having a stark white piece). I then layered the sentiment on another piece of lavender cardstock. Used some bakers twine to finish it off.
Can you guess which quote I used for my inspiration? Hope you will think about joining in on the fun over at Words2ScrapBy.
Well here is a sampling of the Christmas Cards I’ve been working on for my family and friends. After watching this video on StampTV (GinaK Designs) I was eager to try this Retiform Technique. I absolutely love it. I did a little research and found that there are several different ways of doing this technique (also called grid technique). I found that Gina’s way is the easiest.
Ink – Memento Danube Blue; Angel Pink; Summer Sky.
Stamps – GinaK Designs; MFT; Recollections.
