Dragonfly Card

Good morning Junkies!  Hope you are having a great day.  Today, I want to share a card I created recently with one of the newer releases.

I started with an index card and created the background using the Pull Color Tutorial on CD #10 (April 2012).  Once it was dry, I stamped Dragonfly Collage with Versafine ink using my Misti.  I then embossed with clear EP.

Spray a piece of cardstock with LSG Bells of Ireland Green and Summer Lovin Sun.  Stamp One Must Live and trim.  Mount both pieces on patterned scrapbook paper and edge with the pieces you trimmed from the colored piece of cardstock.  Adhere to a piece of black card.

Mermaid Love

Hey Junkies!

The Crafty Nurse back with some inky inspiration for this wonderful July summer day!

Today, I made a card using a technique found on CD 10  from August/September 2012, called, Colorwash Alcohol Technique.  I then stamped the stunning "Mermaid Love S698" using Versafine Black Onyx Ink, then clear heat embossed.

The sentiment is also a July release called, "Better at the Lake - Set of 5 - SS059". I'm really pleased with how the ink colors stream, sailboat, and wheatgrass look like water.

Well, I'm off to go make some more cards.  

See you soon,

The Crafty Nurse

Smallest Step

Good morning Junkies!  Well, I'm back at it creating with index cards.  The are such a perfect sized canvas to work with.

For the background, I used the Pull Color Tutorial on CD #10 (April 2012).  The colors I chose were peach, sunflower, and blue.

Stamp Take The Step onto the center prepared card.  For a great impression, use the Misti so you can stamp until you reach the desired darkness (I like my stamping dark).  Using a ruler, add double black lines to both sides.  The outside line should be solid and the inside line should be dashed.  Next, add a white line in-between the black lines.  Using a stencil, add starbursts with Creamy Coffee chalk ink.

Take The Step

Until later...................
