Birthday Memories – Girl

~ sproatmeyer ~ Leave a comment

I’ve used the Birthday Memories designer series papers from Stampin’ Up! to create this project and followed another great card design by Stamps to Die For.  I also used some Make it Crafty chipboard embellishments for the sentiment and border around the image; which has some yellow Liquid Pearls.  So far this is the only girl project that I’ve created.  I think she’s a bit small but maybe I’ll be able to come up with another one that I like.

Faye the Fairy

Remember the last project I did trying out a new technique by Sue?  After getting some tips from Sue, I used a glossy paper and tried it again. It made a world of difference and the colors are so much more vibrant. It was easy too and now my girls have been having fun creating their own papers. 😀  For this project I used Faye the Fairy as well as the Magical Birthday Wishes Sentiment stamps, both from Whimsy Stamps.

Fireworks Stencil

~ sproatmeyer ~ 1 Comment

For my project today, I decided to try a technique from Sue. I wasn’t sure what paper to use and didn’t have what she suggested so I just grabbed what paper I had. However, the paper absorbed the ink refills too quickly. But I’m not one to waste so I made a card with it anyway and used the Fireworks Stencil (from Whimsy Stamps) to add some texture.

Polka Dot Pals Joshua

There’s a fun new release at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and you can see more inspiration on the LMMS Challenge blog.  For my project I’ve merged a scene using the Polka Dot Pals Joshua series release which includes all the following digital stamps:

I used my Prismacolor Pencils and colored on a taupe or krafty color. I actually don’t know what color it is but I thought it would work well with a desert theme. Then I colored the sky mostly blues and greys so I’m glad I had a little bit of the taupe color showing.
