Squirt Some Lemons

I dry embossed the yellow background panel with a 3D flourish embossing folder.  Then I found this lovely free image of lemons in a blue bowl and printed it on white card stock.  I inked the Lemons verse with Versamark  ink using a stamping platform.  Then I inked it with a deep blue ink and restamped over the Versamark.  I repeated this step until the blue ink had the  depth I wanted.   I cleaned the stamp, and reinked with Versamark and then heat embossed it with  detail clear embossing powder.

She Was Tired

I inked the Boho Dots Background with white pigment ink and heat embossed it with detail white embossing powder.  Then I spritzed colorful shimmer spray in various colors.  I stamped the lady from the stamp set called The Rules with black Memento ink and colored with Copic markers.  Below her I stamped She Believed She Could with black Versafine ink and heat embossed with detail clear embossing powder.

I'm Here for You!

I cut the verse and the dog apart  from Ruff Life.   That way  I could stamp each part as I might wish to do.  And I did.  I stamped the dog three times and die cut three circles and then three scalloped frames.  I used Copic markers and colored only one dog.  Then the verse was stamped and framed it with black cardstock.  I scored and folded  wood grained card stock in half.   Small flat self sticky brad tops were used as the embellishments.

I Believe in You!

I stamped In the Meadow and sponged a small amount of green ink along the bottom.  Then I cut an oval stencil with an oval thin die.  I used blending brushes to add green and a deep yellow inks through the stencil. I used blending brushes over  the Cloud Edger Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs for the sky inside the oval.  

I stamped I Believe in You in the top left corner and then heat embossed it with detail clear embossing powder.

Born to Garden

I have had some kind of a garden since about 1974.  Some years were more successful than others.  Even during my retirement years I had some kind of a tiny garden.  There is nothing like a fresh tomato right from the garden!  I clearly remember the year I returned to teaching after our 3 children were all in school.  During that time we lived in Upstate New York.  Gardening season doesn't begin until Memorial Day, and you should hope to have stuff harvested by Labor Day because you could have real killing frost over the Labor Day weekend.  That year August was very cool, VERY cool.  We hardly had temperatures about 75.  Tomatoes do not ripen well with temperatures that cool.  But about the second week of September - BOOM!  Temperatures in the high 80s and low 90s.  And all the tomatoes ripened at once.  The problem was I was fully immersed in teaching a grade I had never taught before.  I was swamped.  Then it started raining for days and days.  So my good friend came over in the rain, harvested all of those tomatoes and canned them.  I had to work!  When I saw this stamp, Born to Garden, I knew it was true!  

I used dye based markers to add ink to the various parts of the stamp.  It worked well.

Follow Your Heart

I used a 3D embossing folder for the background.  Then various dies from different companies for the flower and the oval frame, the insert, and the tag.  The verse is from Inside Out Size Matters.  I used blending brushes to apply ink to the edges of  the flower, the tag, and the embossed edges of the background section.   I spritzed Dazzle Shimmering Bliss Topper over all including the tag.

Wandering!

I stamped Blooming Wildflowers in white pigment ink  and heat embossed with detail white embossing powder.  Then I used blending brushes and applied the red and green Distress Oxides over all, then wiped off the ink that had resisted on the white flowers.  Then I spritzed Dazzle Shimmering  Bliss Topper over all.  I used  background paper from my stash on the tag.  The verse and matching inside verse come from the stamp set Inside Out Size Matters.

She Believed She Could!!!

Have you ever been this tired?  I have, and it usually involved something I was required or requested to do by either my family or my boss.  I was a mother of 3 kids, a wife, and an elementary school teacher.  Now I am retired and live in a senior retirement community.  However,  I still get very tired but even now I "keep on keeping on."  I just don't have as many of those moments of being that tired.  

Stamps used for this card are Random ABCs, The Happy Housewife, and She Believed She Could.  I think she suddenly remembered she had to bake cookies for one of her children's classroom party. Its the end of the day, and now she has t bake cookies.  

\What has caused you to be this tired?

If Life Gives You Lemons

I used white card stock and printed this gorgeous lemon background paper.  Then I stamped the Lemons sentiment in black Versafine ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Layers of card stock and solid sequins in various colors add interest to the card front.

Follow Your Heart!

This lovely flower silhouette stamp is called In the Meadow.    The sentiment is from Inside Out - Size Matters.   I used the Cloud Edger Stencil from A  Colorful Life Designs to create the sky.  I used a blending brush with green ink for grass.  I sponged blue ink around the sentiment strip.  The focal image is layer on green stock stamped with Boho Dots background.

Batman!!!

When my son was very young, he watched Batman and he was enamored with Batman.    He wanted to watch it every time that show was on.  And confidence?  Off the chart!  He could be Batman someday.  So this sentiment is right -- do what you need to do with that same kind of confidence!  And obviously the  Batman-T-shirt stamp    needs an appropriate background so I searched the internet and found this background and sized it appropriately for an A2 card.

I used Copic markers to color this doggy image called Ruff Life.  I used blending brushes to add color to the background.  Background paper from my stash pulls out the colors in the focal image

The Arabesque background stamp adds the perfect foil for the saying which is One of Those Days.  I used blending brushes  to add the variety of colors in the background.  I used Dazzle Shimmering Bliss Topper   all over the card to add that delightful shimmer.  

I used Make Lemonade background stamp  and I colored the various slices as lemons, oranges, limes, and blood oranges (which are really red if you didn't know!).  Then the new Lemons stamp goes perfectly with this verse.  However, I would rather use the lemons to make lemonade instead of squirting someone in the eye!! Lots of sequins in the same colors of the various slices of citrus adds a nice embellishment to the card.
