Hi, Mixed Media Style

Hello TCM friends! Jennie here with a floral card today:  

I did a little mixed media on my card today by applying some gesso (to the patterned paper) and coloring the flowers using water and gelatos. The wooden butterfly was colored using a Big Brush marker. It is fun trying different coloring mediums with line art and this floral image is just beautiful. Ge

Here is are the sets I used:

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!

A birthday card

Hello, all!  Lin here today with a birthday card I made for you, using 3 of our newer stamp sets.

Here are the sets that I brought together for this card:

Wildflowers, stamped, colored with markers and fussy-cut, then popped up with foam squares:

Sweet Memories, for the frame:

And Sweet Sentiments:

Our stamps can be mixed and matched quite easily - I hope you'll give it a try, also.  Thanks for visiting us today!

For a Special Couple

Hey, y'all!  It's Jinny here with a card, boasting a few, fabulous goodies from our latest release, to share.  Enjoy!

I've been using my Cameo for literally everything lately, and this creation was no different.  I tapped into its resources for that yummy frame and inked it all up to form the evening sky.  Then, all my stamping took place right on top.  And just to help the secondary sentiment stand out a bit more, I placed it on vellum.  Before securing it all, to the card face, with that machine stitching I love so much and wrapping it up tight with an embellished, gingham ribbon, I grounded each bloom with a clear gemstone.

Thanks so much for peeking in!  Have an inspirational day!

Thank You Flowers

Hi, Clare here with a floral thank you card using Wildflowers and Chalkboard Birthday. I did some paper-piecing using some patterned paper, fussy cutting and highlighted some details using Distress Markers.

The sentiment is from Chalkboard Birthday, I love the fonts in this sentiment! Below are the stamp sets I used today. Thanks for dropping by, have a great day!

I love that you can either stamp the outline version of the flowers and color them in, or you can stamp the solid version in whatever ink color you prefer. Gorgeous! And, of course, I love hummingbirds... always a favorite of my mom. I think of her every time I see one. :)

We have a set of Wildflowers to give away to one lucky person who leaves a comment on this post by 8:00 pm Pacific tonight. We'll announce the winner in tomorrow's post.
