Enjoy life's moments

Hi everyone, here is  card I made with my new Tim Holtz Bigz Die, Vintage Fan, I know this was released some years ago, but I only got it this week, and I am very happy with it, I used white card stock and embossed it with a Tim's Texture Fade, Retro Circles which I have had for ages and never got around to using it, I coloured the embossed surface with Distress Ink Pad, Scattered Straw and coloured the fan with a mixture of Vintage Photo, Walnut stand and Espresso Coffee, and like the way it turned out, I added an old stamp, I don't have the packaging now so am not even sure where I got this stamp set  but I like the sentiment, and hope you all like this card too.   I appreciate all your comments, and thanks so much for visiting today, Jasann

Plaid Christmas

Hi there everyone, hope you will have a great day today.   Here is a card I made to enter into the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #187 - Plaid,
http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge.blogspot.com.au, I used white cardstock and embossing folder Heather Border by mpress, one of my favourites, I used a red stick on Christmas ornament, I don't know the name of the manufacturer as it was a gift from a friend, and used a plaid bow, I shaded the edges of the card with Memento Ink Pad Lady Bug, am happy with this card, as I don't have any plaid designer paper, and thanks for all your comments, I appreciate them greatly, and thanks so much for visiting me today, Jasann

Swimmin'

 Hello there everyone, today is a very hot day 34o C outside and 32o C inside, I am just going to turn the air con on it will make it cooler, I did some playing this morning after I hung my washing outside, dread going out to get it off the line, anyway this morning I made two cards with the same products, Dylusions Inks, London Blue, and Distress Spray stain, Cracked Persimmon, and used a stencil to make the bubbles in the water, I used Distress Ink Pads, Evergreen Bough and Pumice stone for the sea horse, with a marker for the eye, I used Memento Ink Pads, Bermuda Blue for the shading on the sides of the cards and Tangelo, two coats for the sand dollar and Cantaloupe for the star fish, I used Cuttlebug Embossing folders Tiny Mosaic for the seahorse and Polka Dots for the Sand Dollar.   I hope you all like these cards, same products but different results - thanks for your lovely comments and also for visiting me today, Thanks again, Jasann
PS the die cuts were cut from Sizzex Bigz Die, Sand and Sea, one of my favourites!!!!

Happy Birthday

Hi there everyone, after doing chores and shopping, I thought I might play with my airbrush and markers, so I used Carved Pumpkin, London Blue,  and Ground Espresso Distress, and was happy with the result, so I used a dark green paper from a Kaisercraft 6-1/2" pad, Yuletide and with just one page was able to cut out the Happy Birthday with a cutting die from Australian Simply Cards, a flourish from Cheery Lynn, and on the inside a Steampunk Butterfly also from Cheery Lynn, the rolled roses were cut with Die-Namics Royal Roses and Rolled Roses from Creative Dies from a piece of scrap paper, white and dark green, I shaded the edges of the card with distress ink pad, Peeled Paint.   I am very pleased with the result, any comments would be greatly appreciated, and thanks so much for visiting today, Jasann

Christmas Deer

Hi there everyone, here is a Christmas Card for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown,
http://52cct.blogspot.com.au
the challenge is the January Sketch Challenge, and I  used white card stock for the card and sprayed a mixture of  Dylusions Ink Spray "London Blue", Distress Ink re-inker "Tumbled Glass" and Perfect Pearls Mists "Sunflower Sparkle" for a gold shine, and I also used a piece of silver ribbon to go across the card, and a cutting die from Creative Dies "Merry Christmas Wreath Die Set" in white cardstock, the Merry Christmas is in that same die set, and then cut out the deer from Creative dies "Elegant Reindeer Die Set" in a beige coloured card, I made the eye with a black marker, and I also used Chromacryl Texture Paste with a stencil from Memory Box "Texture Diamond" and added some snow flake dots with a white gel pen.   I hope you all like this card, I had fun making it, and appreciate all the kind comments, thanks for visiting today, Jasann

Whimiscal Tree

Hi there everyone, it is a rainy day again and lots of places around me are underwater, but no one in any danger of harm, which gives me more time to play with my stash. I made these two cards, one for my stash and the other to put in a give box to give away, I always like to have a selection of cards I can give for a gift, and I am visiting my daughter in Queensland in a couple of weeks, so will take a box for her, even though I gave her a box of cards in with her Christmas Present, but I know she likes to use them for her friends, anyway, these two cards are on a white card base and embossed with an Mpress embossing folder "Heather Border" on one of these cards the embossing folder slipped over which left a space on the left of the page, so I cut a piece of cardstock that I had sitting on my work table and used double sided tape to stick it on, I think it looks okay, I then cut out a tree from SPellbinders Shapeabilities Die D-lights "Whimiscal Tree".  It is an intricate die and I found I had to use some baking paper and then the die and the cutting pads and then also an extra piece of card to use as a shim and roll it through my Big shot several times for it to come off the die easily.   I shaded the base of the tree with Distress ink "Vintage Photo" and the top with Distress Ink "Peeled Paint" I also shaded around the edges with "Peeled Paint"  and I used some tiny stars from my stash to decorate the tree.   Hope you all like this one, and thanks so much for visiting today, Jasann
