Happy Day to You

I used Elements of Style and stamped the large floral image with Daffodil Delight and then thumped my Tangerine Tango pen over it to add the 2 colors to the stamp. It was quick and simple. Just my style.

Elements of Style

I was directly inspired to make this card when I saw it on another demo's blog. Creating cards is wonderful, but CASING is faster! This card uses the Elements of Style and the Four Frames sets. I used markers to color an a little of the vellum card stock to add the softness to this one. The roses on the Four Frames match the roses in the Elements of Style set perfectly!

This card is much simpler than it looks. I used the embossing folder for the front and colored it with a spong. The florals were done with the heavy vellum and then colored from the reverse side. The card is done with Crumb Cake.

Elements of Style

And for my last E stamp set I used the Elements of Style. I have been using a lot of reds lately so I decided to go with blue for this card. The colors I used were Not Quite Navy, Marina Mist and Whisper White. I used the highlighting technique. For the background I used Not Quite Navy over Not Quite Navy. The ribbon is the new 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon seen on page 191 in the catalog. I stamped the flowers with Black Stazon and water colored them using Marina Mist, Not Quite Navy and Garden Green. See you tomorrow when I start with the F stamps!

For You Elemental Card

I have done another card using the new set Elements of Style. I just love the beauty and simplicity of that set. You can color it in or leave it uncolored like I did on this card. It still makes a beautiful statement.

For this card I used Sahara Sand, Cherry Cobbler and Soft Suede. I used one of the new embossing folders on the Cherry Cobbler, Square Lattice. I used the Big Shot to cut the Top Note then I stamped it with the Soft Suede. I added the little splatters with the Color Spritzer Tool. Of course I used hand punches to layer up the sentiment. It was really a quick and simple card.

Elements of Style

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite stamp sets. It seems that you can use it for so many different looks and occasions. Today I CASED someone (don't remember who) and changed my colors and sentiment to make it mine. I am trying to use up some of the wonderful retiring colors (it seems I have a never-ending supply of some colors). So I am using the Cameo Coral, Basic Black and Whisper White for this one. I stamped with the Basic Black, although when I started coloring I noted that I should have used the stazon black (it doesn't smear) and I watercolored the flowers. The ribbons are the Basic Gray taffeta and the black gingham ribbons. I added the sentiment from the Tiny Tags set and tied it on with hemp. See you tomorrow.

Another Elements of Style Post

This card is just 2 colors, Whisper White & Rich Razzleberry. If these colors are not your favorites, just use this same format and change the colors. It is a simple yet elegant card.

A Sketch Challenge

I found a link today to Cardsraps and she was offering a Sketch Challenge. I am always wanting to do more of these and so I did a card for her challenge today. I used 2 stamp sets for this challenge. The 1st set is Friends 24/7 and the 2nd is a sneak peek from the summer mini...called Elements of Style. I made my card look very vintage using some to the retiring colors and other standbys. The card stock colors Iused were: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Ruby Red and Sahara Sand. The inks I used were Ruby Red, Cameo Coral and Handsome Hunter (all retiring in July). I added the Soft Suede ribbon and spritzed the hummingbird with the new Vanilla Shimmer from the upcoming mini.
