OSA Peacock Swap

Hello.  I'm playing catch up with posting cards since I'm still getting over walking pneumonia and my husband has also had a total hip replacement surgery with complications now.  On top of all this, my migraines have also started acting up again.  So posts will be hit and miss over the next couple of months again.

Today I am sharing a card I made for a peacock swap using stamps from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company.  After stamping my main images in memento black, I colored everything using prismacolor markers then highlighted parts of the entire image panel using koh-i-noor pencils and ice stickles.  I then stamped the peacock a second time, colored, and cut out to pop up using pop dots.  Tim Holtz tumbled glass is stippled for the sky and brushed corduroy is stippled for the ground.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Congrats Lucky Duck!

Hello and welcome to the final day of the Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company new release blog hop.  Today we are featuring the new mini called Lucky Duck.  Once again for my sample, I chose to go with some scenic stamping as well as stamping my own background.  Since I also wanted to create the saying along the side of the card, plus add the "1", I dug out an old number stamp I've had for 10-15 years before very carefully cutting up the saying so I could place it on the card where I wanted it.  After adding some punched flowers and butterflies along with some popped up rocks, my card was finished.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the company blog to finish the second half of this week's blog hop.  You don't want to miss what the design team has come up with for your inspiration.

My project today is basically a monochromatic card with a little pop of blue added in.  After stamping my own background in garden green ink then adding some die cut scallop borders.  I then stamped the birdcage and parrot in memento black before coloring my parrot using woodless colored pencils.  The only embellies added are some brads and buttons along with the main panels popped up over the die cut scallop borders.
