Hi everyone! Did you enjoy the Lawnscapings blog hop? The winners will be announced tomorrow, so make sure you go over to the Lawnscapings blog!
Anyway, I got a lot of questions about my card on the comments, specially asking about the acetate. So I will answer them here.
I buy my acetate from a normal office supplies store, and I cut it to a standard card size, but I will be trying Hero Arts acetate cards, because I heard a lot of good things about them.
What I use to stamp on acetate is StazOn (black and white). For me it is the best ink to use with it.
The tricky part about acetate is that for everything you put on the front of it, you have to glue the same on the back of it, specially when you color it with promarkers, as it shows on the back.
And last, to glue things on acetate, I use glossy accents, it works like magic!!!
Ok, now I have a card to share with you.
I made it for the current hero arts challenge using one of the designs from HA for the silhouette.
First of all, I sketched the tree on white cardstock and cut the panel for the front of the card.
I stamped that panel with the Envelope Pattern and Antique Linen, and colored the entire thing with the same ink. Then I distress the edges with Vintage Photo.
I cut the tree from white cardstock and colored it using Antique linen and Vintage photo. I used an embossing tool to mark the trunk of the tree, and then I rubbed the Vintage photo pad to the tree, to color those lines.
I glued the tree down using dimensionals just in the trunk, so it had some dimension.
I added the brads, and the ribbons, and stamped the sentiment from the Find Joy set using Dark Brown Chalk ink. I rounded the top corners of the card to finish it using the corner chomper.
Hope you liked it and thanks for stopping by!!

Hi everyone! Today I'm back with a card I made for the current Hero Arts challenge.
For this card I started by sketching the "thank you" design from Hero Arts on my silhouette, using one of the metallic pens. Then I embossed the Layered flowers with white embossing powder on white cardstock and colored the flowers with distress inks. I cut the window on the front of the card and distressed the edges around the card, and around the window. After I hand cut the flowers I glued them on the front of the card using dimensionals on some of them. I finished the card by drawing a couple of frames with the same sketch pen from silhouette.
I love the look of window cards, they just stand out from other cards, so I'm loving this months challenge at hero arts. Go and join it!
Hope you liked the card, and thanks for stopping by! See you tomorrow!!
Hello! Today I'm sharing with you a card with lots of masking.
I just stamped the Bold Line Flower with different colors of distress inks while masking lots of times. Once they were all stamped, I colored them lightly with colored pencils and then distress the entire area with Antique linen. I stamped the sentiment with Dusty Concord ink, added some Diamond Stickles and some twine, and mounted the panel on dimensionals.
Ok, that's it for today. Hope you liked it and thanks for stopping by!
Hello again! It was the end of the holidays for us last week, and we are back home now. Today, as the title says, it's my second wedding anniversary. I cant believe how time flies by, it seems like yesterday I was getting ready to say "I do" to my lovely hubby. So today I am sharing a card I made for him.
For this card I used 3 different shapes for the silhouette. First of all, I cut the heart of hearts and the "I love you" as a negative on blue cardstock and stamped over it the Large Fabric Design from HA with Weathered wood distress ink. Then I stamped the Envelope Pattern over the front of the card base with Fired Brick. I cut the "always" from red cardstock and glued it to the front panel. Then I mounted it on dimensionals and it was done! It was a card that came together very quick. Hope you liked it!
Now, before I go, I am sharing with you a picture of us and our special day.
And here you can see we had some fun!
I would give anything to do it all over again! I had soooo much fun! Anyway, sorry about the sharing, but today it's a special day.
Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back tomorrow!
