Vintage Plane

Hello and Welcome

It's amazing what you can do with a scrap piece of inky paper.  

This piece of blue cardstock was a piece I used to mop up extra ink left from another project.  I really hate to let the excess ink go to waste so I try and keep these pieces for other projects.

This blue one made for the perfect sky for my plane.

A few months ago, I went to a big garage sale that my local scrapbooking store had.  The owner of Two Scrapbook Friends and her staff set up this huge sale that fills most of her store.  It was just amazing how many stamps, machines and everything else for stamping and scrapbooking was available for sale at such reasonable prices. Sellers are given a very generous store credit so it's a win-win and what a great way for others to pick up some bargains!  That's where I picked up this set and wanted to have a chance to play with it.  (BTW she has a wonderful online store if you want to check it out)

So, I took that inky piece of cs and glued it onto my heavy white cardstock.  Then using my Scorbug, I scored a line above and below the blue.  I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment and the plane with black ink, then die cut the plane out using my Cuttlebug.

I pop dotted the plane over the blue and then simply mounted it all onto a white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

A super quick card with a fun look today.

Such an simple design created in a jiffy!  

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock, then using one of the Marvelous Circle Masks from A Colorful Life Designs, I stencilled lots of circles randomly over my card front using different colours of DOX inks.  I tried to create a somewhat rainbow effect by starting at the top with the lighter colours and then moving down to the darker shades.

I splattered with some white acrylic paint to add some more interest to the fun background.

I die-cut the MFT Cheers sentiment twice and glued them together, offsetting them slightly for interest, then glued that over my circles.

I mounted it all onto a plain white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Simple Pleasures

Good Morning.

Here is a simple card I made using one of my favourite sets from Visible Image.  I find that flower stamp so easy to create with; I love the sketchy look it has.  I paired it up with this stencil and had myself a fun looking card.....and it's not blue!!

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and using some scrap paper, I masked the left edge of my paper and rubbed Cracked Pistachio DOX over my Web Wheels stencil.  I thought it would give my card a bit of a border to the side.  I love the variations of colours you can get using the DOX inks depending on how much you rub the inks over your paper.  

I removed the paper I had used to mask the stenciled edge and rubbed some more ink outwards until I was happy with the look.

Next, I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the flowers, sentiment and the splatters using my black ink.  I stamped the flower heads one more time on another piece of heavy white cardstock and fussy cut them out, then pop dotted them over the first stamped image.

I simply mounted the card front onto a plain white piece of cardstock and then onto a white card base.

I like the fresh, clean look this card has.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
