Cuttlecrazed

Here is a super simple fun card I did with a cuttlebug folder and die. I really love the ribbon slider dies they are so much fun and have so much potential. Sorry the colors are so washed out and kind of blah in real life they look much better. Oh photo studio I shall have you someday. The round bit in the center of the slider is an SU stamp. I took chalk to white ribbon and used it to create a custom color. Something that is super fun to do with chalk and ribbon is to color one side with a dark chalk and another with a different color that is lighter so when you tie bows you can see both it's a really neat effect. Yup that's about it for this card I always end up using tons of thank you and that's why I chose this sentiment.

Wedding Wishes

This is a super simple wedding card. I know it's hard to see but that's because it's silver embossed on silver paper in this case Wausau stardust. This color on color embossing is quite elegant and pretty in real life. The background stamp is a retired SU image as well as the sentiment which was embossed on vellum and then placed on mulberry paper in order to make it less lost in the background. The cording is the old silver type made by SU.

Wildlife Safari Thanks

These are some thank yous for that I made during the summer as a thank you to the veterinarian and his intern at Wildlife Safari. They and the animals were super fun to work with. A good portion of the collection is large hoofstock with a portion dedicated to African wildlife. All of the stamps and ink are SU in this case. I used the Aida cloth to make the background and the leaves on the side are another SU background that I just blocked off. The side is hemp and twine. Overall I'm pleased with how these turned out. I'll show the other card that I made as a thank you later on.

Penguin Get Well

Used prismacolors and gamsol to color in the image which in this photo looks a little washed out. Someday I would really like one of those photo studios so I can get pictures that more accurately represent my work. The prima flower was attached using a brad. The background is a linen background stamp which looks strange in the photo but in real life gives just a little more texture and dimension. Sentiment was stamped with white SU craft ink. Set used is Stampin Up Happy Healing.
