Typewriter Greetings

Today I'm playing at A Place To Start Challenge Blog where they want you to "Spotlight" an image. There's lots of ways you can do that. I decided to leave my focal point uncolored to make that the focus or "spotlight" of my design.

This is the Pink and Main Foilable Typewriter image. To foil it and leave it uncolored, I foiled it with Midnight Black Cheerfoil. So if you see it in person it's got a nice shine to it. This foiling system is the BEST! The sheets are printed with toner that adheres to your foil when you run it through your hot laminator. When you remove the foil it's ALWAYS perfect!

The pretty background papers are from the Sunrise paper pack. I thought the colors were perfect for fall.. oranges and yellows with a pop of navy and aqua for drama.

I added a stamped sentiment to the paper peeking out of the typewriter, and a pretty die cut bow along the top. Along the bottom edge is a Fun Scallop border cut.

I hope you find some time to play along!

Blooming With Gratitude

Flowers are always in season here because they're my favorite! Today I'm sharing a seed packet design loaded with color!

The background starts with the Floral Frame Die. It's got a double pierced edge that's beautiful on it's own. It's designed to cut a stamped image, but I didn't use that stamp. I topped that with a smaller piece of lighter cardstock that I embossed with a Quilted impression. I gave that a soft swipe with an ink pad to bring out the pattern.

Next I wrapped the card with Dress Shop hot pink twine and then adhered the Seed Packet die over the twine with adhesive foam tape. I left a "channel" for the twine so it lays smooth under the raised seed packet.

The florals in the seed packet set can be cut in the colors of your choice and the images can be stamped with sentiments from the coordinating sentiment stamp set.

I'm linking up to Beautiful Blossoms Challenge where this time they have an inspiration photo of beautiful orange marigolds, but you can play along with whatever flowers you like.

Halloween Kitties

Today I'm playing at Sweet Stampin' Challenge where they're looking for Halloween or Halloween colors. I think I've got both of those covered! LOL! I love Halloween and I could make with it all year round!

Honestly it makes me a little sad that Halloween is less than a week away! Time is flying! My card today is made with the Pink & Main Halloween Kitties stamps and dies. I love when I can make a card with one stamp set! This set includes all the figures and some sentiments too!

I colored the images with Copic Markers and then layed them out on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base. This helps me figure out how far up the grass should go or how much sky to add.

The cloudy sky was inked with a stencil using Distress Ink. I added some stars and bats, and then stamped the sentiment directly on the inky panel along the bottom.

I appreciate you stopping by to say Hi! I hope you have a great day and that all your Halloween plans are coming along!
