Sweetbriar Rose Whitewashing Card

Another sample for my June classes -- this card is a Joy Fold Card with a Whitewashing technique .   This is a simple folding technique with plenty of possibilities.    I decided to use the new Gold Soiree Designer Specialty Paper.   This paper is simply AMAZING. . .  each page features Metallic Gold ink.   

The Whitewashing technique is a lot of fun and simple.   You emboss an image with white embossing powder, color the image in with a white chalk marker, and than highlight with ink and an aqua-painter or blender pen. 

I hope you enjoy my Project!

Kind Koala - Thinking of You

Working on my samples for my June classes.    With so many new amazing stamp sets, I am having a hard time narrowing down what I want to use. . . . .  Such a bad situation to be in!!  LOL.    Luckily I do three projects at my classes and I have a Stamp-a-Stack scheduled in July so lots of creating to get to!  :)

I love this Single Stamp set -- Kind Koala. . . . . so stinking cute!!   I paired the stamp up with our new Lullaby Designer Series Paper.   This paper is not only for Baby cards as the name may lead you to think, the colors and patterns are very versatile.   

I did a simple layout, inspired by the latest sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches (I didn't get a card made in time to submit this week).  Even if you don't "play" along with sketch challenges online, they are a great inspiration for card layouts!    

Hope you enjoy my project!

Flower Patch Thank You - MOJO348

Got to play with my new stamps, paper, etc. today.  Playing along with the Sketch Challenge at Mojo Monday Blog.   The Paper is Park Lane Designer Series Paper -- I LOVE the coordinating colors in it; I used Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive.   I wasn't sure how I would like the Photopolymer set - Flower Patch - but I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.   I bought it as a bundle (Flower Patch Stamp Set and Flower Fair Framelits) and saved myself 15%!!  

Hope you like my project and take on the Sketch!
