Rainbow Hearts

Today I’m excited to share another card with you.

  A bright ink-blended rainbow surrounding white hearts.  Almost the reverse of this CAS beauty of Michele’s at Muse’s challenge #100! I like the way this card turned out.

First, I used my new to me SU Circle Circus Stamps (NBUS), Versamark and clear embossing powder. Next, I used my mini ink blenders, Hero Arts Blue ink, SU inks , and Tim Hotlz Distress Ink to create a a blended rainbow background paper. Then I used PTI’s Heart Cover Plate Die.

Ink It Up

I have another masculine card to share with you.

I made my own stencil and then used a emboss resist technique to create the background. I used circle dies to cut out the results.

The Matthew 6:34 sentiment is from PTI’s “A Cheerful Heart” stamp sent.  My husband gave me a PTI gift certificate for Christmas. This stamp set was my on the top of my wish list.  PTI stamps rock!

The design for this card was inspired by Chrissy’s sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch – #106. I’m having a lot of fun with this sketch! I am also playing along over at SSS’s Monday Challenge: Inky Background  and SSS’s Wednesday (It’s a Guy Thing) Challenge.

Tartan Too, with Stamps

I have another masculine tartan card to share with you.

I used a stamping technique that I learned from Ashely Cannon Newel for PTI’s Make It Monday.

 

To make this pattern, I used stamps from PTI’s Background Basics: Super Stripes stamp set for the first time.

Notice that the above card is very similar to the one below, but I made one using stamps and the other with a masking technique.

I like both results.

Being that my mother is Scottish, born and bred, I’m quite partial to tartan. 🙂

The Jeremiah 29:11 sentiment is from PTI’s “A Cheerful Heart” stamp sent. This is the first time that I’ve used this particular stamp from the set. So, I’ll be entering this into CAS-ology’s and Darnell’s NBUS challenges. My husband gave me a PTI gift certificate for Christmas. This stamp set was my on the top of my wish list and I was so happy when it came in the mail! I like this stamp set a lot. Like all of the PTI stamps I have, they are beautiful and wonderfully easy to use.

The design for this card was inspired by Michele’s sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch – #106. I’m having a lot of fun with this sketch! I am also playing along over at SSS’s  Wednesday (It’s a Guy Thing) Challenge.
