Get Well

Here is a Get Well card I made on behalf of my mother. She wanted something with a cow, to bring a smile. I looked on the Internet to find a clip art image that would work. I found a few; you'll probably see more cards like these on my blog in a near future.

I printed multiple copies of my selected image.

I went through my stash of scrap paper and pulled out the colours I wanted to use.

Using the Dotto Dots Dispenser I applied removable adhesive on the back of my image to glue them to the cardstocks.

I then trimmed out the part of the image I wanted in that specific colour. I did this for every part of the image.

I removed the top paper rubbing away the adhesive with the Rub & Remove Eraser; I inked the edges of each pieces and drew the details needed. I used chalks for the colours on the face and Opaques Adhesive Gems in Licorice for the eyes.

On the background I place a piece of scrap paper and sponged on some ink for the floor.

And here is the final look to my paper pieced get well card.

New Baby Challenge

This Heart 2 Heart challenge came just in the nick of time for me since I had to make a baby card anyways. One of my coworker's baby boy was born on March 22nd 2011.

I selected the stamp I first wanted to use. "LOVE YOU FOREVER" C1398 is the perfect baby card stamp set. It is so sweet and I really love the stitching. It is also perfect for paper piecing. I stamped all my images on the different cardstock and pattern papers I selected. I used the Level 2 set Stardust and added the Kraft cardstock.

I cut each piece out and inked the edges with Chocolate ink.





I coloured in my birds and flower with a blending pen and Topiary, Moonstruck, and Orange ink. I glued all the piece to my base.

I stamped the greeting with Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder.

Love Is In The Air... Kissing Heart 2 Heart Challenge

This week on the Heart 2 Heart challenge we are kissing! *BLUSH* Actually for those of you who are not familiar with the kissing technique Heart 2 Heart has put on a great video demonstration this technique and it's variation. You can also find demonstrations for this technique on the MyCTMH TV.

I decided to use the variation of second generation kissing first generation background. I used the stamp set D1353 Campin' Fever and the stamp set D1477 Universal Backgrounds for this part. I inked both the wood grain background and the wooden sign image in Chocolate Ink Z2111. I stamped the image on a piece of scrap paper once and kissed it with the inked wooden grain; I then stamped it on a piece of colonial white cardstock 1388. Here are some pictures of the image before and after been kissed with the wood grain.



I trimmed them out and inked the edges. I then stamped the image of the bear in the truck from the stamp set C1409 Beary Busy on a piece of Colonial White cardstock 1388, Tulip cardstock X5753, and Sweetheart B&T paper X7134B. I cut out portion of the truck from the B&T and the Tulip Cardstock and paper pieced it to the Colonial White Truck. I stamped the hearts from C1409 Beary Busy on Cotton Candy cardstock X5760, cut it out and coloured a few heart with the Tulip ink pad Z2166 using the Blending Pen 3174. I adhere the hearts with 3-D Foam Tape Z1151. I double matted my colonial white truck to cotton candy and tulip cardstock.

My base card is in tulip cardstock and the base mat is in Sweetheart B&T. I stamped the greeting Love You in Tulip Ink and the heart in Cotton Candy ink Z2193, and the heart stitching in Chocolate, from the stamp set C1441 Affection.

Well here is my entry for this weeks challenge. So much fun can't wait to see the next challenge.
