Garden to Heart

Lizzie once again brings us fabulous ideas to decorate the front

of our cards!

MIM's video was all about building a wreath with our small stamps.

Lizzie used a circle and built her wreath around the shape.

I think I cheated a bit, using the leafy heart from To Have and to Hold.

It was just perfect for the Garden Variety sentiment.

Most of my tiny images are from Strawberry Patch Sentiments.

The twigs are from Make It Market Kit: Market Street.

PTI Inks: Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado, Prairie Grass, 

Pure Poppy, Classic Kraft, Spring Rain.

Spring Moss Pattern Paper, Olive Twist, Stampers Select White

Lots of white space throws me off a bit, so I sponge inked around my

heart wreath with Spring Rain.

Play along all week here, on Nichole's blog!

MIM #181: Paper Casting and Merry Monday Christmas Bingo

Had so much fun doing the Paper Casting with Danielle

over at PapertreyInk,

this time doing double duty for 

MIM and Merry Monday's challenges.

Kathy's playing Christmas Bingo with us. 

My choices are right hand, straight down,

Emboss, Kraft, and Buttons.

Center created with Tremendous Treats: Christmas (little birdie).

This is done with paper casting and sheets of toilet tissue.

I tinted the water with re-inker Blueberry Sky, then glimmer misted it after drying.

Colored a bit with sharpies and went over a few places with stickles.

Wreath created with Winterberry die in Kraft felt

Sentiment: Wet Paint Christmas

Merry Monday #123 Use a Wreath

Bonnie says, 'Use a Wreath', in the latest Merry Monday challenge.

I found an old rubber stamp, (Hero Arts, I think) and 

heat embossed it with 3 iridescent powders from Lindy's Stamp Gang.

I then stamped Distressed Stripes from PTI with Versamark and 

brushed on Perfect Pearls.

The festive wreath in the photo is decorated with Christmas ornaments,

and I couldn't resist doing the same to my wreath,

using lots of fun bling from my stash.
