Natural Beauty All Occasion Card

This is one of my cards from the last VSN that I didn't get uploaded. The colors didn't come out very well, but in real life it is very pretty. I liked it so much I made 3 of them to have on hand. And again, this is one that I didn't use prismas and baby oil on to color. The world may stop revolving if I don't get my pencils out soon LOL.

Stamps: Natural Beauty
Paper: Whisper White, Old Olive, Always Artichoke
Ink: Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Perfect Plum
Misc: Aqua Painter, SU scallop border punch, crimper

I hope everyone had a wonderful Monday. Only 4 days to VSBN weekend! Yeah, I can't wait. Hope everyone will be playing along!

Happy Stamping!

American Hero MMSC15 **2nd post today**



THIS IS MY 2ND POST TODAY SO PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE FIRST POST.

This is my entry for the MMSC 15 challenge. I had a hard time visualizing what I wanted to do, and then it hit me, a tribute to our American Military, and this is what I came up with. Check out the challenge over on Priscilla's blog here http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/2009/08/midnight-madness-by-priscilla-mmsc15.html

Stamps: Godspeed
Paper: Various unknown DSP, Real Red, Not Quite Navy, beige, Brocade Blue
Ink: Not Quite Navy, Brocade Blue
Misc: star nail heads, ribbon, pop dots

The 4 corners are suppose to be "service stars" which is a red rectangle with a blue star in the middle representing that a loved one is deployed to a combat zone. However, I took artistic license and used gold nail heads, and stamped the rectangle in not quite navy. I distressed the main image and sponged brocade blue ink around the outside before mounting it on brocade blue and then night of navy.

Let me know what you think.

Happy Stamping!

It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere

This is one of my challenge cards from last weekend over on SCS VSN (virtual stamping night). We were to make our favorite martini, and then make a card using specific colors to that martini, And of course I had to make a cosmopolitan!!! So we had to use Green Galore, Pumpkin Pie & Regal Rose colors. I used it in paper & ink, The martini glasses on the background are stamped in all 3 colors. And it was hard, but I didn't color with my prismas and baby oil. Instead I used an aqua painter & stamp pads! That was a real challenge for me!!!! LOL.

Stamps: HM Olive a Party, Ms $1 acrylic stamps
Paper: Whisper white, Green Galore, Pumpkin Pie, Regal Rose
Ink: Basic Grey, Going Grey, Bahful Blue, Pumpkin Pie, Regal Rose, Green Galore
Misc: Aqua painter, melon mmabo ribbon, crystal effects (bottom of the glass below the olive


3 different couples have looked at our townhouse this weekend., Hopefully one of them will want ot rent it. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Happy Stamping!
