Coffee Filter Background

Here's a nifty background look on a coffee filter.  The filter was flattened from it's pre-formed shape, wrinkled and while wrinkled, droplets of ink was squeezed onto the filter. Once dry, the filer  was opened and flattend, then adhered to the base.

The top layer of white was stamped with an image of an evergreen and lastly was touched up using the green ink pad.

This was one of my first cards I've made, and I've grown in my stamping journey and now make cards that friends and family want to buy.  Those more recent cards will be uploaded very soon, so be on the lookout.

Bleached Flowers

My card was stamped in rust ink onto cream cardstock, and when that was dried, I dipped the stamp into a bit of bleach and stamped the image over the rust color.  I immediately cleaned the stamp so the bleach wasn't on it for very long.  I placed that stamped layer on top of a Spellbinders Fleur De Lis die cut.  Added the ribbon, and that was that.

These flowers, in real life, are so pretty and tall.  I remember a place in the city where an older man grew big, juicy tomatoes in his huge back yard.  In his front yard was a row of these flowers standing stately.  I would go to his house and buy several pounds throughout the summer.  Best tastin' tomatoers ever.

Gorgeous Feather

Been a very long time, two years, since not being here because of daughter's several brain surgeries, and I'm thrilled to be back.  I'm showing to you, a card I've done long ago, but it is still timely.  Since taking this picture, I've learned many tricks (and techniques).  One of them being -- do not date-stamp my card pictures.

These gorgeous cards, are my colored version of a CASE after I got a GinaK StampTV kit.  (Gosh, it's been a long time ago!)  They were made using GinaK's stamp kit called Vintage Chic, which is no longer available, but I'm sure you'll find a feather--or some other object--that would work.  I will be showing some of these Vintage Chic cards in the upcoming days, and hope you will be able to use the layout or technique using a similar or totally different image.

So, even though it's been a while since making these cards, I think the layout is up-to-date and using the brads gives the card a bit of "umhpf".

Psalm 91:4  He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find shelter; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
