Peaceful Seas

Hi, all!  I'm back today to share a card using some beautiful stamps from the Red Rubber Designs store!  I used the Smackin' Acetate technique to create the beautiful sunset sky for image.  Come and take a peek...

As I stated above, I created a sunset sky using the Smackin' Acetate technique, then I stamped the image from the Peace Be Still stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I added more color with some Faber Castell Big Brush pens. I added a rhinestone daisy for a bit more shine and interest.

The card base was prepped with a punched border, a strip of patterned paper, and some velvet ribbon.  The sentiment, also from the Peace Be Still stamp set, was stamped using the same Memento Tuxedo Black ink and was added directly to the card base.

I really love the way this turned out!  I think the colors are perfect for an end of summer creation, don't you?  I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Be Strong & Courageous

Hi, all!  Well, I survived my first week back as a full time student, this time with ALL NIGHT CLASSES, and so I decided today I'd do a bit of blogging and share a card made with a teenage boy in mind. :)  It uses some of the *NEWEST* products from The Stamps of Life!  Take a peek...

Isn't that fun?!  I used Powdered Sugar cardstock for the card base and Gingersnap cardstock for the rest of the plain colored paper.  The green patterned paper is from the Wishes Collection Patterned Paper Pad. The shirt outline and sentiment are from the *NEW* tshirt2stamp set and were stamped in Licorice ink.

Since boys don't usually go in for fuss or embellishment, all I decided to add were some black enamel shapes to this card.  I LOVE the way it turned out--and I hope you do, too!  I would love to hear what you think, so please leave me a comment below! :)
