Focal Image.

For our Boot Camp this week is focal image.  Here is my take on focal image.
I used textured paper and ran my distress ink pad down the side.  The polka dots
is a ribbon from Hobby Lobby.  The sentiment and flower are stamps from Michael's.
I colored the flower with my distress markers.  I am still learning how to scan my
cards and I am sorry this one is a little crooked.

Powdery Glitter Birthday Cards

These are some birthday cards I made using some really shiny glitter powder.

You put this really strong tape down and then spread the glitter on top.

The tape is so strong that the glitter doesn't come off.

These are for personal use and not for OWH as glitter

is a NO NO for OWH.

I got the glitter and tape at an Adventures in Stamping show in

downtown Akron a couple of years ago.

It makes really pretty cards, but it is messy!!!!

There is a new show for Adventures in Stamping coming to Akron this coming April.

Wonder what new fun stuff I will find there this year?

Monochromatic card

This is my monochromatic card from the OWH Bootcamp.  The image is stamped in black on black paper
and heat embossed with detail clear embossing powder.  It is much prettied and classier in person!

Birthday Cards

I needed some birthday cards so I made a feminine version and a masculine version of this card.
The papers are from A Muse, the sentiment is from Hero Arts, the peach ribbon is A Muse and the
polka dot ribbon is from Michaels.  The sentiments are raised with pop dots.  The pearls on the
feminine card are also from A Muse. The card stock is from Hollo's PaperCraft Store.

I had a rough winter with knee replacement surgery and a bad cold and bloody noses.
I am finally feeling better and able to make cards.  So glad to be back!

Sesame Street

My niece Chloe came over and helped me make these Sesame Street Character cards.  We had a lot of fun and she was very helpful.  I hope she comes back soon as I need to make some Angry Birds cards.  My kids grew up on Sesame Street programs and I have a great respect for the tv show.  We made all these cards with punches and die cuts.

America

Today is election day in America.  I don't care if you are Democrat or Republican, just get out and exercise your right to vote in this land of the free!

Happy Anniversary

My husband and I are celebrating 35 years of marriage so I thought it fitting to post an anniversary card today
