Good morning everyone! Another Monday already? What a nice weekend we had! The boys ended their soccer tournament and season on a high note by winning their last game! And even though the tournament didn't go the way we would have liked, they beat the team that ended up winning the tournament! If our boys can get consistent in their playing, there won't be anyone stopping them!! But they will have to figure that out. And as a parent, that part gets really frustrating! I guess I will just have to be patient! Nick had a GREAT game! He played goalie and saved some really tough shots! It always makes me nervous but I do love it when he gets to make amazing saves! So only a few more days of school! Looking forward to some summer fun!
Today's card was inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch! I used the Hello, Hello single stamp to create this card. I used Old Olive and Melon Mambo markers to color the vine and flower part of the stamp and then stamped it onto a piece of Whisper White. Then on another piece of Whisper White I stamped it again using Pacific Point. I cut out just the words on this one and popped them up onto the first stamped panel. This panel is then popped up onto a card base of Whisper White. I added rhinestones to each flower. Simple card but it's not so simple to cut out the words - lol! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning, Friends! This week seems to be going fairly quickly around here! And we don't even have a lot that is on our calendar. It's kind of nice! Tonight will be another quiet evening of watching basketball games. Love that! And Nick can spend some time working on his research project. I need to get some stamping done but other than that I am hoping to do a little stitching. Haven't done that in a while.
Today's card was inspired by the sketch at Fab Friday. This is also a card that my stamp club did this month. I wanted to try the chalkboard technique and this is what I came up with. And I kind of like it! Lots of steps to this but it is pretty easy. First of all, I adhered a strip of Summer Starfruit to a card base of Marina Mist. Then I stamped the Hello, Hello single stamp image onto Basic Black card stock using VersaMark ink and then emboss it using white emboss powder. Then I stamped the image again right over the embossed one but just off-set using white craft ink. Then I took a tissue and rubbed the ink off the embossed image and tried to smear it and make it look like eraser marks on a chalkboard. To make the white lines I used a ruler and a white watercolor pencil. I sponged the edges with Basic Black ink to give it a little shadow. Then I punched a strip of Real Red with the dotted ribbon scallop punch and adhered it to the top of the Basic Black piece before popping it up onto the card. I added a strip of Real Red designer paper from the Polka Dot Parade designer paper pack that has both ends flagged. Finally, I added several rhinestones for a little bling! I hope you give this fun technique a try! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
