Three More Cards

I've participated in the monthly CCC card exchange for many years.  It's been fun to "meet" fellow cardmakers all over the world.  Here's my January card that made it to Australia in 3 weeks. 

I was inspired by Dawn Woleslagle's beautiful card.  I stamped an image from Penny Black's Delicate Florals using Distress Inks blueprint sketch, mermaid lagoon & lucky clover.  I used a wet brush to spread a little of the ink.  I picked up very diluted ink to add a bit more color in some areas & splattered the dark blue & green.  The sentiment is from Newton's Nook Blooming Botanicals.

Uniko is celebrating it's 10th birthday.  Beverley is a wonderful designer & such a generous small business owner.  Here's my card for the birthday link up inspired by Laura Bassen's card for her daughter, Bailey. 

I used the Mid Century Modern Shapes stencil with SSS Steel Blue, Mint Candy & Apricot Hybrid inks.  The leaves from Natures Treasures II were stamped in Brilliance Starlite Black & the sentiment from Simply Said Blocks was stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne.  I added black splatters & Shimmer Pico Embellisher dots.

 

My final card is for CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #455.  

Again I was inspired by Cecile.  I smooshed Distress Inks picked raspberry, spun sugar & festive berries on a small rectangle of watercolor paper, drying after each color.  Then I stamped 3 very old wood mounted stamps using Versafine Clair Nocturne.  I'm also entering SSS Wednesday & WAW.
