Crackle

I LOVE the challenge theme 

over at Frilly and Funkie.

It's called Snap Crackle Crackle.

I decided to wet emboss some

crackle stamping in gold!

The Simple Sayings stamp

is from the Funkie Junkie Boutique.

I 

I love this how this neutral tone card turned out.

It felt great to use my embossing supplies again.

That's why I love challenges, they keep me using

up my supplies & trying new designs.

Accomplishment

Hello bloggers!

I'm sharing an entry for

Unity's monthly challenge today.

Here is their suggestion:

Those colors are so soft and sweet,
like spring and gardens.

I chose a different theme &

went with graduation for this!

The books are from the 12/12 kit of the month

by Unity.  The word was masked out of a stamp

called Dimploma Cap & Gown.

I used distress in to shade the table brown.

Here is the same card design in 

different colors!

This one is our school colors.

Those cool edge stars are from 

the stamp Everything Wonderful.

There is a faint gray pattern

of the Stars of Worn stamp.

Mojo Monday 396

If you need a card design idea,

just check out the sketch for

  Mojo Monday this week...

I'm cutting it close to the 

deadline.  Here is what 

was created for the challenge....

As you can see, I flipped the sketch

on it's side to get this layout.

The cute stamp is from Unity,

called Hello Thank You.

I colored in the letters with Copic markers.

Spring Bird

Spring is in full force here!

That means less time in the craft room.

But I took advantage of the rainy

evening and made a card for today's

Unity Friends with Flair!

That stamp is from a new set I purchased 

from Unity called Blossoming Thoughts.

It was tricky stamping the top of the sentiment in pink

and then doing the bottom in green.  They didn't line

up just right, but no one will ever tell.

That lovely paper is from Prima.

It was a scrap that I had left 

& it made a quick easy card!

The lace was a "super score" from the local

craft shop.  They were selling it at only 20 cents a yard!

I stocked up.  It's a nice size lace for cards too.
