Frustration Cover Plate Floral

This card is the result of an all day frustration with the Bold Borders:  Wave Die not cutting all the way through and about 200  tries (exaggeration).  One of those almost in tears days.  It would only emboss.  I even got out the Gemini Manual (now that's bad).  Therefore, I decided to blend distress oxide inks over the embossed area.  I am really mad at this card - better be careful who I send it to - bad juju or something!

Accessories - Don't Forget To Write Make It Market Kit pre-stamped florals, Nuvo Crystal Drops Ebony Black (center of larger florals), Dimensional Foam, Pineapple Stampin Write (SU) - small yellow centers in small floral) and the dreaded Bold Borders:  Wave Die

FOR YOUR GRADUATION

The time of year to make graduation cards.  I’ve only had one wooden block stamp and one small set that I believe was a give away to use and have been using them for over 18+ years since I received them.  Yup same two graduation things but I have made many a card just mixing up the other elements of the card or using parts of their invitation.

Unlike my Christmas stamp sets (like a zillion) and most un-inked, I have been able to make do with just 2 graduation type stamps.

I also used the crimper for the corrugated look (I know everyone this is an old technique and most people have gotten rid of their crimper but I love the look).  Everything old becomes new again – look at home decorating and clothes.

Giving Thanks Fleur Impressions

I was inspired to play with colors and a similar layout as Sharyn Miller Polese  I did add just a touch of the polka dot ribbon I love and also used different stencil and a different green than hers.  Hers are lovely - so hit the link and go see.

I have also tried other color combinations and exchanging the Worn Lipstick for Pickled Raspberry is delicious and so far my favorite.

The one below used Worn Lipstick, but I will soon have a card with the Picked Raspberry to show you.
