Well today’s card is a little out of my ordinary style. I had wanted to do the Cuttlebug challenge on their blog. I checked it out and it was to use watercoloring to emboss or deboss. So I chose my embossing folder and pulled out one of my Kaleidacolor pads and inked up the inside of the folder. I ran my paper in the folder through my Cuttlebug and liked the effect. Then I had…
Did you think I had fallen off the face of the earth? Did you miss me? I got stuck at a friend’s house in the snowstorm for a few days and I am trying to play catch up.

The challenge at Clear Dollar Stamps is to create any card or project and use pearls (pearls, pearlized paper, pearlized embossing powder, etc.). I had this vision of using die cuts to…
Like that title? This card is another one for Sharon’s black challenge. I am definitely loving this challenge. I have to admit I am trying more color challenges lately as I like this challenge for a change of pace. Today’s card uses Amy’s/ sketch challenge. I did flip the sketch a little since my image as pretty large. Here is Amy’s sketch and my card. inside of card Stamps: Garden Silhouettes, Circle of Friendship (both…
