Love and Luck

Here is my take on the Bombshell Stamps March Sketch. It feels like its been forever since I have completed one of the sketches.

Here I used the Love and Luck set, which happens to be the featured set of the month over on the blog!

Wrinkle Free Distress Background

  • Non-Stick Craft Sheet or alternative

  • Three Different Colors Ranger™ Distress Inks

  • Water Mister

  • Heat/Embossing Tool

  • Shipping tag or cardstock







1) Swipe the inks across the non-stick surface, by lying felt to surface and wipe across. Try not to overlay the inks, as this will contaminate the colors.

2)
Mist the inks with water until small beads form.

3) Lay the paper into the watered ink to pick up color. It is not necessary to twist or turn the paper. Take paper out of ink.

4)  Use heat/embossing tool to dry the paper. The paper may curl, but when dry will flatten out.

5) Add more color to the paper by placing in ink again.

6) Dry paper once again with heat tool.

7) Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have the desired level of color and layers. Remember to dry each layer before repeating.

8)  Using the paper just made, complete card.

We're the perfect blend

Latte Anya out again!
This time I paired her with some hijacked papers from my mom, and stamped her with some fiskars stamps. She is just so fun!!! I must like her a lot because Ive made several cards with her already!!!

Unity: A card for Diem

It has been a while since I have made Diem a card. For most of you that do not know, she goes to school at her dads in Arizona right now. I always fear that when I do send her mail, she wont get it. I made this card for her the other night, Simple, but I know she will like it. It reminds me of the times we would go to the beach.... (Lake Mendocino) and go swimming. I actually taught her how to swim in that very lake! I couldnt resist using this stamp set because it reminds me of her. I have had it for a few months, but never used it. I think I might need to use this set more often!!!
