PAPER PIECED CARD - EASTER WISHES

HEY BLOGGIES,

I am right in the middle of getting our house ready to sell so we can move.  Same area just into the country more.  SOOO because of that, I have most of my craft room all packed and stored away safely.

But how can anyone go weeks without stamping or crafting??!!  I know I can't.  I made a paper pieced card today and used the sentiment of one of the 5 that I kept from packing away.

I made this card to enter at TECHNO STAMPER MONDAY.  My second card for this week on this challenge.  Also entered at Around the World Stamping.

I used the FREE DSP from Sale-a-Bration called SWEET SORBET and I sure do L O V E that paper!!  I fussy cut out some of the printed flowers from the paper as well as stamped some Petite Petals flowers and punched them out.

 Here is the card all finished.  I added some water coloring onto the DSP for shading, coloring and emphasis to some of the flowers.

 You can see the paper pieced flower and leaves in this upper lkeft hand corner.  I then popped it up on dimensionals and used my markers and aqua painter to add shading, filling and layering of colors,  LOVE IT

 The twine is the FREE SAB SWEET SORBET ACCESSORY PACK and I am loving this thicker twine.  I used a trick I saw on the web recently - I used a bit of gesso or elmer's glue in between my fingers and rubbed it on the tails of the twine.  Then I shaped it how I wanted it to be and let it almost dry before I attached it to my card.  AWESOME how it makes such a difference with the bow all shaped and pretty.  (this is before I added the other candy dots to my card.

Now you can see my candy dots (I changed out the one on the twine bow) and the completed card with the shading and coloring.  What do you think? I really REALLY liked the process because I was so much more involved with the creation by coloring, shading, layering colors and then paper piecing and adding punches.  You will see some more of these types of cards from me again.

OOPS, I forgot to show the inside of my card:

I believe the most important part of Easter:  HE IS RISEN.

Thanks for visiting my blog.  Please stop back by again.  If you have any questions, let me know.
The colors I used are:

Soft Suede ink (for sentiment)
Crisp Cantaloupe
Pool Party
Calypso Coral
Coastal Cabana
Summer Starfruit

SALE A BRATION GOOD AS GOLD KIT AND SWEET SORBET ACCESSORIES PACK

HEY BLOGGIES,

Today I have a card made with the FREE Good as Gold Card Kit and the FREE Sweet Sorbet Accessories Pack.  I used the items in a different way to create my own version of card.

I used the Sketch from Sketch Frenzy Friday by Kim.  Here is my card.

I used Coastal Cabana card stock for the base and cut one of the card kit cards as my designer paper for the top.  I added Crisp Cantaloupe card stock cut by the FRINGE SCISSORS below the designer paper.

 I used the tags that are included in the Good as Gold Kit for my banners and attached them to the Coastal Cabana twine.  I used washi tape in coastal cabana to attach the twine to the card.

 These cork flowers are in the accessory pack.  I colored them crisp cantaloupe and coastal cabana as you can see.  I also put a piece of washi tape at the bottom of the card.

Here is another view of my complete card.  I hope you enjoyed it.  These kits are so awesome and with a few added details or changes, you can come up with so many different cards OR you can just make them as the kit suggests and you have 8 wonderful cards to use!!

Go to the Sketch Frenzy Friday site to see what the other design team members created and then create YOUR card and upload it to our site.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come on back again!!
