Happy Valentine`s Day CPS

I am so pleased with this card. I followed the sketch on http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com. They are having a anniversary week so it would certainly be worth checking it out. I used the Roses stamp set from Flourishes and I love it. Having two sizes of one stamp provides many opportunities for stamping.

I stamped the smaller rose three times and colored them all with Prismacolored Pencils. I used the new VersaMark Dazzle watermark pad on the large rose. After it had dried quite a bit I added some Dazzling Diamonds for some extra sparkle. Now it looks just like those cards available when I was a young girl. I thought they were so beautiful. I used the sentiment provided in this stamp set with Perfect Plum ink. As you can see, I used the curvy rectangle nestibility on all the roses. To highlight the edge embossing, I used a metallic Rose pencil along the edge.

The inside of the card has the final rose and two more sentiments from the set. I tore the edge of the paper using the ruler from Plaid. It makes such a great edge.

I used papers from Provo Craft and the cardstock is from Bazzill.

I am having a great day...doing all the fun things I want...surfing and playing with paper. Remember to sign up for my blog candy.

Talk later Hugs

Thinking of Spring

We are having such a sunny day that I decided to think Spring. I made this card following the Card Positioning Challenge #98. I followed the sketch and this is what I came up with.

All the papers are from My Mind`s Eye except the card base which is textured cardstock from DCWV. I used this Sweet and Sassy stamp from Sugar Nellies.

I used my Prismacolored Markers to color and I think I am starting to get a handle on it but I have a very long way to go....but remember, my theme for the year is learning. I also used spica pens for the silver and to add a bit of shine to the bike. The ribbon is from Martha Stewart and was a perfect color match to the cardstock. I used glue dots to attach it and place glass flowers from $ store as an accent.

On the inside of the card I used this Inkadinkado stamp. This card could be a thinking of you card or a birthday card.

Not much going on here today so I think I will play some more and try to do a card for Dutch Dare Challenge. Hopefully I will be back later today. Have a wonderful day.

Hugs
