Freedom!

 

Greetings!  It is hard to believe that it is already time for another challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenge!  This time around, our theme is to "Color in between the lines" and we are stamp and color in with whatever medium we like." Remember we are a stamping challenge, so stamping needs to be the focus of your project! For my own card, I began by spraying Dylusion Ink Sprays over a Plaid Stencil multiple times.  My focal image is by Christy Tomlinson for Unity Stamps and was stamped onto scrap card stock with Black Archival Ink and colored in with TowBow Markers.  The butterflies and sentiment are by Finnabair for Prima Marketing.  I hope you will stop over to FSC to see what the rest of the Design Team has made to inspire you and then share with us a piece of your own.  Remember, one lucky participant will win a $20 gift voucher from our sponsors at FlonzCraft! Thanks for dropping by! Yvonne

Pretty in Pink

Greetings!  I can hardly believe we are already in February!  I am away from home, as we are having work done on our main home in an effort to get it ready to put up for sale.  This is the first time that I can remember that I intentionally did not bring my duffle bag along with me!  I do, however, have some cards to share with you this week using February 2014 Gecko Galz Images that were released earlier this week.  

For my first card, I began by stamping various images from Finnebair for Prima with Black StazOn Ink onto my card base. Next I layered a white paper heart doily, followed by images from the Darling Girls Collection. The digital image looking on is by Aurora Wings, who is the company chosen by Gecko Galz for the month of February for our Cross Promotional Event.  

A bit of black Dresden from Red Lead Stamps, a simple fabric heart sticker I found at the Dollar Tree, a pearl gem and a bit of seam binding fashioned into a bow complete my card.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you will stop back again later this week to see some more of my sample pieces for Gecko Galz!

XXOXX, Remember, I Love You

Greetings!  It is bitter cold where I live, and where many of you live as well.  A quick card to share tonight that I made just because Valentines Day is coming soon.  I began by stamping various images by Finnabair by Prima with London Fog Memento Ink.  Next I layered pink and white paper doily hearts over the card base. The image and happy cat are by Gecko Galz and were glittered up with Ranger Stickles.  A few die cut butterflies and a button, a complimentary gift from the Funkie Junkie Boutique with an order, and some ChitChat Stickers, Pearl Gems, Glitter Hearts and a seam binding bow complete my card.  I hope wherever you are, you stay warm. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.  Hugs, Yvonne

Gathering Leaves

Greetings! There's a new challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu, and the Pink Team has stepped up to the challenge to create projects for the theme of "Celebrating Autumn."  Please stop over and check out their beautiful projects, and I hope you will be inspired to create one of your own.  I just love this time of year and really enjoyed working on this canvas.  I began by smooshing most of the recently released Seasonal Distress Paints onto a Craft Sheet and then spritzed with a bit of water and dredged the canvas through the paint. Several Tim Holtz Stencils were stenciled onto the canvas with Distress Inks and the honeycomb stencil, also by Tim Holtz, was embossed with Embossing Paste that was tinted with Gathered Twigs Distress Paint.  The stamped images are by Finnabair for Prima.  The gorgeous clip art is by Gecko Galz.  I hope you will join us and submit a project that celebrates Autumn. Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy this beautiful fall season.  Hugs, Yvonne
