Going all girly here love the old time feel of this card.  Aiming for more posts in 2012.http://flourishes.org/2011/12/add-a-little-feminine-flair

Happy Birthday

One of my favorite cards takes me a long time to make but I just love it. Hope you do too.

Its been such a long time since I last posted. Dont get me wrong I have been busy making cards but with 20year old twins living at home and holding down a full time job there doesnt seem to be enough hours in the day. Hope your like my version of a vintage flower, I am in my flower phase at the moment and find great satisfaction in making them and adding them to a card.

Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White
Inks: Kiwi Kiss, Basic Grey, Basic Black
Stamps: Trendy Trees
What a great stamp set, I could have used a stamp-a-ma-jig for a more regulated line up of the trees but I think this option still works. Just love the in colour kiwi kiss. Well always rushing have a great day.

Heat Emboss

I just love the Stampin Up FIFTH AVENUE FLORAL stamp set, this time I stamped on Red Riding Hood cardstock with Versamark ink and then embossed with white embossing powder. My next step was to cut out the embossed images and place them on Rasberry Tart DSP. The sentiment is from SINCERE SALUTATIONS another favorite Stampin Up set of mine. I was pleased with the result of this card .

Wax Resist

I finally found the time to try one of the many techniques around to use with stamps and this is the end result. Quite happy with my first attempt.

Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral, Best Yet Hostess Set

Acessories: Curly Label Punch, Brayer

Cardstock: Glossy White, Soft Subtles

Almost There

Well that was a long 2 weeks but have been having a great time with all my Stampin Up goodies and definitely will post my first published card within the week
