Ink Pad Background Part 2

Hello Crafty Friends,
Today, I have the second part of the cards I made using a Kaleidacolor ink pad to create a background.
The background pieces were  made by pressing the CS into a kaleidacolor ink pad.  The pad was in the position where the pads are slightly apart.  This is the position the pads are in for storage.  Part one can be viewed here. 

Try this!  It is very simple and can be used for any type of project.  Hope you enjoyed the cards!

Fall is upon us again.  Today, I will be out side digging up the dahlia and cana lilies for storage until spring.  I have an order of bulbs coming next week.  So, I will have plenty of blooms for early spring.  What are you planning in your garden this fall??  Let me know.  Have a super day!!

See soon.

Ink Pad Background

Hello Everyone!

I am back after a short blogging break.  I have lots of fun stuff to share with you.  Today, I have a group of cards made with background pieces made by pressing the CS into a kaleidacolor ink pad.  The pad was in the position where the pads are slightly apart.  This is the position the pads are in for storage.    I think this was a very easy technique and really made a fun background.  I made two colors ways and will show the second color in my next post.

A paper doily, ribbon,  and die cut birds (Stampin' Up) were used to complete the composition.   

So glad you stopped by today and I will see you soon for the other samples made using this technique.

Paris in the Spring with Stampsmith stamps

Hi Dreamers!
Oh, we are back to rainy weather, so no work in the garden today.  Perfect time to get in some blogging and share a Spring theme card.  I made this card with an Eiffel Tower stamp from  Paris Full Sheet by The Stampsmith.   

• The image was stamped with Blue Breeze Kaleidacolor Pad from Tsukineko on white glossy CS.  
• Go over the image with Versa Mark ink and add UTTE; heat emboss.
• Add to a Navy card base layered with DP from DCWV

• Die cut birds.  I used a die from A Muse Studios and a pale blue CS

I love the high gloss that you get with the UTTE.  Reminds me of my decoupaging days!  LOL.

• Add a blue bow and a few blue rhinestones for embellishments

Just a reminder that the Stampsmith Challenge is still open and runs thru the end of the month.  The theme for April is Black/white with a pop of color.  There a $21 gift certificate up for grabs!!  

Challenges for my  Paris in the Spring card!

Well, let's see what do I have for you next?  How about a funky Pink Steampunk tag?!  Sounds crazy doesn't it?  I will be back next time with that--so see you then!  Hope your day is filled with good things.  Love ya.
