Quilled Birthday Balloons!

Celebrating birthdays with colorful balloons in the clouds today, completed Cuttlebug Embossing, with Pan Pastels, Provo Craft Stickout quilled balloons, and Nestabilities Labels #6 with pop dots.  Sentiment is Cameo Ovations from Fiskars.

Chasing Dreams

The Pan Pastels blend like a dream.  I've used Memento Inks for the rubber stamping.  One of the really nice effects that you can achieve are the mist of the clouds.  We are always discussing how to accomplish the misting in the Stampscapes groups, I think Pan Pastels are a viable option.

Bottles of Beauty

Shapely Bottles of Beautiful flowers adorn today's card.   Pan Pastels have arrived on my doorstep!  Thanks to my hubby for his golf winnings!!  Chalk is a relatively new and different medium for me that will challenge my thinking.  I think the the beauty of the Pan Pastels will lie in their vibrant colors.  This particular card is subdued, but I see much brighter stamping in my future.

Ready, Set, Fire!

Today's card was created with stamps from Stampscapes and Gray Wolf Graphics.  Dyes are Distress Ink Pads used with Stipple Brushes and Copic Markers.  Distressing with Memory Makers tools. The Stamps are a perfect 4th of July scene, but the secret is that this card was created to celebrate my son's graduation from college.

Wobble Card !

My good friend Lisha gave me some Wobbles to try. Wobbles are little plastic springs that have adhesive to attach to your card and to an embellishment. When they are in place the embellishment wobbles sideways.

Here is my first wobbles card which is a Housemouse colored with Copic markers and Memento inks. I love this stamp as it is perfect for so many celebrations. I purchased it to make a theme card for "Celebrate Freedom!" Our camp theme this year, but I have already made that card and a Father's Day card and a graduation card. It is very versatile.

Today I have been working with some new stamps that are from Clear Dollar Stamps and Our Daily Bread Designs.  The theme for The Great Family Adventure this year is CELEBRATE FREEDOM!  Freedom from sin, Freedom from fear, Freedom from sickness and Freedom from this world.  I think it is going to be a great camp!

The inks are Memento with Copic markers.

Father's Day Card

Here is a card that I created for Father's Day.  Paper is "My Mind's Eye" , Rubber Stamp is Tim Holtz, Sentiment is Stampin Up.
