Life is Good

Hello,

This is my last minute take on the sketch.

Here is how the card is made:

I have embossed with using the tree folder, inked it with browns and blacks to make it as realistic as possible. I know the winter is almost here but I am not ready to let go of the happy greens and yellowish colors. The sentiment went so well with it. Life is good.

Treasure

Hello,

When I have a sketch to play with, I always want to take it to a new direction. Not only to challenge myself but to get different variations.

This is my second try for Just Rite Sketch:

This card was one of those that came out differently that I was planning.

I used Just Rite "travel" background stamp to get my globes. I sponged everything to make it look older. I wanted to get an idea of treasure map,
 I used Cherry Lynn dies for this card ( circle and borders). 

Originally my sentiment was suppose to have air balloon.... didn't like it. So I used Just Rite "manly" stamps... That's right I have my own names for the stamps ( sorry JustRite).

I used Tim Holtz compass, embossed it in gold. Added some threat and the card ended up being more manly then when I try to make a manly card lol.
I have used few JustRite sentiments. I mixed them together. I am really loving backboard art lately.

Playing with UTEE

Hello,

I found new technique.
Its using melting pot and then stamping into melted UTEE. It looked amazing so I had to try it. I looked at different youtube videos on how to make it and thought I can probably try it without the melting pot.
I got my UTEE but while I was at Michael's choosing UTEE I saw that melting pot cost almost $60. Crazy!!!
 Here is the card that came out of my attempt:

I have melted UTEE on the silicon banking mat. It took forever! I will defiantly buy melting pot just have to find on sale. I melted about 3-4 layers of UTEE and then used JustRite background stamped into it. Before starting I have rubbed the stamped with pearl-ex power to add the color and shine.
It came out pretty good. To me it looked like a frost on windows.
I used JustRite stamp for everything here.

This card was made using JustRite challenge layout:

Vintage

Hello,

I have created card for Cheery Lynn Vintage Challenge.

Whenever I think Vintage, for some reason, I think Paris. So this is what I did.

I used Embossing Folder from Tim Holtz collection, distressed edges, inked up the raised parts and just all over where I felt the color needed. I have created flowers added little pearls on the petals and bigger pearls all over. Used sentiment from JustRite and put it all together.

This card actually took a long time to make. It's not because it's super complex, only because it took me a while to figure out "how" I want to put it together.

One of my friends said that I should open my own business and sell the cards I make. But if it would take me that long to figure how to make cards, my business would go bankrupt. :)
Besides the moment something "I love" becomes something "I have to do" ... it's not longer fun for me.

Easel card- Last One

Hello,

I really had fun experimenting with easel style card. This is the card card I came up with for the challenge.

Not to long I got as a present Penny Black stamps, I really like them. Specially cute characters. For this one I decided to use my fav quote about love. "Love is Patient"
I created the shape of the easel by using spellbinders. I used black card stock and stamped penny black-love is patient stamped. I wanted to have blackboard feel.
I used JustRite background stamp to create the damask background. I used gelatos to add color. Used Just Rite rose stamp. Stamped it 3 times and layered it. Added glitter glue & pearls.

Easel Card - You Are Beautiful

Hello,


Here is how the card created:

I used Spellbinders rectangules to cut out shape. I couldn't figure how to put it together. So I decided to use the "go to" design. I've cut rectangule stampped JustRite background stamp and embossed with clear and used gelatos to add color.

I used spellbinders shapes to put the sentiment together. I love the JustRite sentiment "kit". I can create my own wording. The flowers I have used out of my stash. I am not sure where they came from. added lace and pearls and it's done.

Easel Card First Try

Hi ladies,



I've been so busy with work that I have been neglecting my creative time. I don't stop thinking about it but just don't have enough energy to do it.
So this weekend I have decided that I am going to make at least 1 card for Just Rite challenge. I have co many pretty stamps and it's pity that I don't use them.

So here is my easel card:

Like many of us I don't do easel cards often. I have no idea why, they are super fun and relatively quick to do...... Actually I just figure out why... I am to lazy to finish inside of the card... lol. And easel card ... I kinda have to finish it.

So here is my card:

I have used JustRite background stamp, embossed in clear and used  gelatos to create the background.  The I stamped butterflies , color & cut them. There is only 1 butterfly that I used from inkadinkido. I've stamped butterflies on the embossed background to add as if they are all rushing up. :)

I cut out my shape using Cherry Lynn circles. A little bit of glitter glue on butterflies and perfect pearl here and there and it's done.

CAS

Hello Dear Readers,

I figured out that CAS is really not my style. It actually really hard for me to keep it clean and simple. I want to add things to card. So I am trying to get better at CAS cards.

Here is my another attempt:

I used a mark to create the background pattern. I just JustRite stamps. I have colored the stamp. I also wanted to different kind of banner so I used one of vellum like paper, embossed it with the sentiment. Added some pearls because I thought it was too plain. And its done.

I am not sure if I like this card too much. What are your thoughts? Please let me know how I can improve. :)

Thank you

Simple Dots Modified

Hello dear Bloogers,

I decided to try different way of playing with sketch.
Here is how the card is made:

I have used JustRite poppies set to do the flower. I used bleaching technique to do the flower. If you wondering what it is, here is tutorial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMViatZt_DA

 I know poppies suppose to be red but I really wasn't feeling red color. I used distress markers to color it.
I want to give credit to JustRite stamp design team. They make coloring sooo simple, just follow the guide and use the lines on the stamp. I think this every time I color their stamps. Great Job!!!!!!

I used Cherry Lynn dies to cut the image our and create a frame. On the side note, I noticed that a lot of Cherry Lynn dies are used to create these amazing complicated cards. I decided to keep it simple.

I used Tim Holtz for background circles/ dots. It seems that my theme this days yellow and blue. I added peals using Viva pearl pen. I really love this pen it just creates perfect round pearl, unlike Tim Holtz pearls. With Tim Holtz  ones I really have to play around to create a round pearl.
