The butterfly that didn't make it.

Everyone makes mistakes, right?  Live and learn, right?  Well I learned what not to do when I made this card!  I loved the card when I finished it.  But then I thought the antenna needed to stand out a little more.  I had embossed the butterfly originally and used white embossing powder.  So I got out my Zig Millennum pen and made them darker.  It really looked good!  Card done and happy stamper.  I moved it to the other room and brought it back out to show someone and the black had smeared and I mean really smeared.  Usually I can cover up a mistake but putting a butterfly on it but not this time!  LOL  Oh well, live and learn, right?

Until next time, happy trails to you...

Happy Birthday to You!

I just received an order from Papertrey Ink and could not wait to try out this die.  I cut it out and then spattered it with Heidi Swapp Color Shine.  I had the Memory Box butterfly so cut it out and popped it on top. A quick card but a fun one!

Until next time...  Happy trails to you!

Seize the Cupcake

One of the techniques in class was using embossing paste.  I had done that a few years ago but had forgotten about it so I dug out my paste and a stencil and added some hearts and stars using a Heidi Swapp stencil.  A fun card to make and will be a fun one to give as well. 

Until next time, happy trails to you

Happy Birthday Kris

One of the ladies in my stamping group has a birthday today.  This is the card that I made for her.  I used embossing powders on the buildings to make them so many different colors.  It was fun to do!  The sentiment was computer generated and then just added some bling to make it pop a little. 

Until next time, happy trails to you!

Vellum Meet Copics

 

In our card class today one of the ideas was to take vellum and color it with Copic markers and then put it behind the cut outs from a die.  Ahhh perfect.  I loved doing this one!  I used Papertrey Ink dies and then added some sequins at the end.  

Until next time, happy trails to you!!

Class Card

Class today was another way to make an optical illusion card.  I thought these little bunnies from Lawn Fawn would be fun to play with.  The sun is from Papertrey Ink.  I sure did have fun coloring this one up!  You can't see it but I used my Wink of Stella pen on the flowers so they sparkle.

Until next time, happy trails to you...

Optical Illusion

So very early this morning, after posting the inlay cards,  I watched all of the videos for todays lessons.  I then went about my day which was super busy and I was not home hardly at all.  I did have a chance to go for a walk and while walking I came up with (or so I thought) this card.  I made it when I got home.  Then as I was ready to post this I had to go back to the class to find the name of this technique and to my surprise I had made almost the same card!  No wonder it came to me this afternoon.  Jeese!  I had added some sequins to mine that they didn't.  I thought about not even posting it but decided to go ahead as it was the only one I had time to make today.  This is a cool technique and I have some other ideas that I can use as well.

Until next time... happy trails to you
