Day 3 At Clean & Simple 2

I'm really loven this class! Learning so much. If you haven't checked it out yet you can go HERE .
For my card I choose to use Shari's Label Stamping technique. Using a Tim Holtz stamp for my "background" stamping it onto the labels & cutting them into strips. I couldn't find a DP I liked so I made my own with SU markers they were to bright so I went over them a couple of times with picket fence. Great match. My Butterfly is from Hero Arts.Stickles was used to add a little sparkle  to the butterfly.

Clean And Simple Card Making 2

 Day 1of class.  I just love these classes. For my card I used Kristina's sketch. I must tell you about how I made this background it was by accident. I sprayed to much ink on my card front so I fliped it over onto the paper towel I had under it and pressed it into the towel when I lifted it, not only was the pattern of the towel on it but the texture of the water color paper. Love it. To give my heart a little texture I die cut a heart out of clear CS and embossed it with my cuddlebug. Just glue it onto my Red heart, to hide the glue I added a Gem. You can join the class at Online Card Classes HERE

Supplies:

Inks: Distress Ink, Perfect Pearls and Memento Tuxedo Black

Stamps: Simon Says Stamp

Cardstock: Daler Rowney Watercolor Paper Neenah White

Papertrey Ink Clear Cardstock

Cuddlebug Emboss folder, My Favorite Things Dies

Until next time,

Hello Peeps,

hope all is going good for you, today I made a card for a couple of challenges. Funny how you start out with an idea and it some how turns out completely different huh? Well this Hero Arts Flower was going to be in the middle of my card then I thought how would it look if I cut it up? Sooo here it is and I love it. Using my Distress inks  and heat emboss to make my flower and butterfly. SU CS, a cuttlebug folder, Hero Arts  Gems and Perfect Pearls for some shine. Hope you like it.
