TO #69 - Grateful for You, Nothing Is Impossible

Made a little card, well actually two since I used the leftovers!  The first one fit nicely into the current challenge at Time Out - Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart!  I started with a watercolor panel using Peerless. A maple leaf and sentiment were stamped in gold then clear embossed, kind of hard to photograph but quite easy to see IRL.  So here's the first card...

And a second card, that doesn't fit into the challenge but was made with the leftovers.  Plus, since I've never made a shaker card...

As I mentioned, this was the leftovers from the die cut panel.    I kinda like it although the Flower Soft inside the panel doesn't move as much as I'd like, probably due to being so lightweight.  Lesson learned... 

So, the first goes over to:

SSS Wednesday Challenge, Fusion and Stamplorations April

I wanted to pop in and post a card I made that just happened to fit a couple challenges currently.  I first saw the Fusion challenge sketch, and this card just "popped" into my head -- that NEVER happens!  It did end up morphing a bit but I like it in the end.

I started with a scrap of Ranger embossed white cs that I've had in my scrap bin for some time.  From this, I added the white embossed flower , then colored using my Peerless watercolors and die cut it out adding a layer of foam underneath.  I then die cut the layered dragonfly, and made it a bit dimensional with foam tape and balled up glue dots.  Then I stamped and embossed the sentiment, and embossed it with silver ep.  Then looking at it, I decided it needed a bit more to the plain white (I know, some of you are hating me for this) but it just looked to plain.  So I splattered some of the peerless carefully avoiding what I had already done.  Here's a close up...

This will go to my mom for her Birthday, which is right after Mother's Day!

Hello!

Well, hello!  Since that is what my card is all about, I thought I'd say it AND express how happy I am that you stopped by!

I stamped and colored this image awhile ago but neglected to do something with him.  I think he's adorable, and I was prompted by Jennifer McGuire's coloring.

Since I had the same image, and I fell in love with her coloring, I thought I would try my hand at it as well.  I adore her card, which makes me know that I still have a lot more practice to do!  Here's my card:

I stamped the image and heat embossed with black ep, colored him with Peerless watercolors, adding perfect pearls to the mixture, then added the sentiment on a snipped piece of black cs, covered in VersaMark and then coated with clear ep for the shine to match the black on Mr. Owl.

Well, that's all I've got photographed from my pile of "practicing", so I'll bid adieu for now.  Happy crafting!
