Kind and Caring Thoughts, WT233

I have fallen in love with the New IN COLOR Soft Suede. I also like the hostess set of SU's Kind and Caring Thoughts. I wanted to see what I could do with just Soft Suede and white.
This is the result. I love placing sentiments so they become part of the design.

How did I do this:

Note: I took Whisper White cs and used CB embossing folders (Swiss Dots, Bird and Swirls. I then turned the image over. Using the brayer and Soft Suede ink, I inked the negative side. This gives the brown and white look.

The single flower image has been stamped three times. Using the Stamp-a-ma-jig, I then went back and stamped VersaMark and used clear EP on the three flowers.

Rustic Rooster WT223

This morning at 3:30 am I was working on different ways I could stamp and color the Rustic Rooster. I thought and thought about the sentiment. I didn't like the card, I couldn't figure out a sentiment. Then I went to bed. This am, my DH announced he liked this rooster card the best. After 4 hours of sleep and confirmation from my DH, the sentiment "Wake Up Call" came to my mind . . .

So this is a computer generated "text".

I loved this rooster, so I ended up making 3 different cards. Here is the last one for this day -- no more roosters.

This is similar to M. Zindorf -- I used Stazon ink

The way I did the rooster: USE Stamp-a-ma-jig
• Using Stazon Stamp off Once, then stamped the rooster
• Using Inks and Aqua Blender, colored the rooster
• Using Stazon, stamped the top color I wanted (brown in this case)
• Using VersaMark -- stamped over rooster
• Emboss with Clear Embossing Powder (EP)
• Heat set EP

Dinosaur card

OK -- I like punches. I have ordered every punch that SU makes plus a few others. The SCS challenge today was to pretend we have NO stamps and make a card with an image.
My sister wanted a dinosaur card for her grandson, so here is a prototype.

I am working on the instructions and the pattern, if you would like the pattern e-mail me with your e-mail address and I will send back it to you. Hope you like it.

Father's Day Vest

I went to Kristin Lovig's for card making and we had a swap. Wanda Smith made a cute card with a vest. I took the vest idea, designed my own pattern and came up with this card for the WT Challenge. If you want my vest pattern, please e-mail me.

I will e-mail you the directions --
