Embossed White Flowers

Hello friends, 

This might be my new favorite technique.  Okay it is old, but with the new 3D embossing folders it is new.  They add a ton more interest to this look than the old 2D folders.   It is super simple to do.  You first emboss a piece of card stock.  Then LIGHTLY drag a white (or whatever color you like) stamp pad over your embossing.  Just the highest raised levels will pick up the color just giving it a whole new look.  

I finished this card off with a splash of florals.

First Rodeo

Hello friends, 

I got an odd one for you.  A student of mine requested this card.  I admit I scratched my head a bit, but then it all came together.   She was going to a Rodeo themed baby shower.  She wanted t make a Rodeo themed Baby card.  At first, I was at a total loss.  Then I remembered this stamp from Trinity stamps.  Yep... somehow it was so cute that it made it's way into my stash.  I paired it with an old Yeehaw stamp from Stampin Up and the Bandana stamp from Unity stamps.

Retro Christmas

Hello!

I'm continuing on with my Christmas in July catch up party.  This card breaks from the traditional a bit.  I used some neon ink colors to create the ornaments on the tree. I think it gives the card a more retro look.  I also used yellow greens for the tree rather than the traditional earthy greens.  I finished the card off with lots of sparkle the star and with glitter stars on the tree.  I think will make more of these before Christmas. What do you think of the nontraditional take on the tree?
