A Lovely Birthday!


MIM this week features a watercolor technique, using 
PTI's coverplates. Ashley shares her endless talents and creates a beauty of 
a card on Nichole's blog here:


With a large family, my birthday stash is easily depleted, so
here's a birthday card using the Quatrefoil Die.


I followed Ashley's lead, and used re-inkers on Canson watercolor paper.
Vintage Linen flowers, white embossed and also colored with reinkers.


Inside finished with stamped off and masked flowers,
and sentiment from Inside Out: Birthday.

This technique was so much fun to do,
can't wait to try it again!

MIM #229: Fabric Strip Christmas Trees


Melissa Phillips plays with fabric on PTI's MIM this week.
She shows how to create a card using a straw and strips of 
fabric & ribbon. She even throws in some lace.
Melissa is all about the details, and that's my 
favorite thing about card making!


My Christmas fabric stash provided the torn strips.
Ribbons and lace, yes!
The star was in my cut files, not sure what die, but covered it in glitter, and a button.
Tiniest Tags with a tiny tag sentiment.
Buttons, vintage bells, sequins, love!
Used Star Scribbles for the bg, stamped in Soft Stone.
Stamper's Select White Cardstock on a Vintage Jadeite card base.

Plan to make more of these, so much fun!
Thank you Melissa!

Taking my DH in to have shoulder surgery tomorrow, 
and would appreciate all my blogging friends' prayers for 
all to go well. Thank you in advance. Will let you know how 
it goes.

MIM #228 Pearlized Blending


Pearlized Blending with Lizzie Jones this week at Papertrey's MIM.

There my Perfect Pearls have sat, neglected, unused for too long.
Until Lizzie's challenge.

I did it her way, cut my rectangle from vellum,
stamped my image from Botanical Blocks 111, with versa mark,
used clear powder, then applied the Perfect Pearls.


It's my attempt at CAS. Something I am not. 
I did manage to sneak in a rhinestone, hopefully won't disqualify the CAS label.
Going right back into the craft room to layer and bling up something!
