Most of these images my girlfriend in Chicago sent to me.  Thanks, C!  I love them and will post more later.  The first few cards are from Penny Black and the last one is from Lockhart Stamps.  Both companies have a nice variety of images and will get your creativity flowing.  Thanks for looking!

Little Gardner

Doesn’t this little sweetie remind you of Spring?  I pierced the DP but because of the print it wasn’t visible so I added some embroidery thread and a few beads.  I realize that it’s still hard to see because of the light color, but I felt it added just the right accent to it.  Thanks [...]

Warm Snowflakes

I bought some Old Olive DP (sorry, I can’t remember the name of it) a few months ago and have started cutting into it.  I like how Old Olive looks with River Rock.  I stamped a snowflake and added dazzling diamonds to it, then cut out some snowflakes (Cuttlebug die) to layer on top.  I [...]

WT182 – Specialty Paper

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how large the images were from GinaK Designs.  They are not too large, but rather give a nice focal point to your card.  Anyway last week’s Ways to Use It Challenge over at SCS was to use Specialty Paper.  I had this gorgeous paper pack from K&Co and [...]

SC 190 – Bowl of Lemons

It has been awhile since I have played with the sketch challenges over at SCS. This didn’t quite come together the way I was hoping, but I still had fun. I love this lemon bowl and glass of lemonade. I added dazzling diamonds to a few of the lemons for some [...]
