It's Not Another Holiday Card

Since I have been making nothing but Thanksgiving and Christmas cards at my classes lately, I thought I would take a break today and post a card using the Just Believe stamp set. The cardstock colors are Whisper White, Marina Mist and Night of Navy. I used Stampin' Write markers and colored directly onto the stamp, huffed to reactive the ink and then stamped. The circular stamp was stamped using the rock 'n' roll technique.

I'm happy with today's card not just because it isn't a holiday card, but because I like the end result. Hope you like it too.

Just Believe in Sunshine

Wow! Can't you just feel the warmth coming from this beautiful sunshine card? I made the sunbeams by sponging in Daffodil Delight ink. The Old Olive greenery and Concord Crush flowers were colored with the Stampin' Write Markers directly to rubber and then stamped after huffing to reactivate the ink. To add a little interest to my background paper I used one of the Texturz Plates, brayered on Old Olive ink and ran it through my Big Shot. This gave me a tone on tone woodlike look.

We made this card at my class last month at Cha Cha's Mexican Restaurant and it was well received by all the attendees. My next class at Cha Cha's will be on Saturday, November 27. Please contact me if you would like to attend. As always, we will be making 3 new card designs. Hope to see you there.
