Today I made another card with the <i>FSJ</i> bird stamp...the same stamp I used on my last card. One of the challenge blogs I follow asks for 2 different type of cards using the same stamp, so I made a sympathy card and a congratulations card. The theme this time was "Pets". Since we are "bird-sitting" our daughter's bird while she is off on vacation I decided that he would be my inspiration! His name is Pops and he is very vocal!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sympathy card I have already described and explained in my previous post; the Congrats card is for a friend from my church who just sold her house (in just 24 hours!) so she can move to a "leisure village" where many older folks enjoy an easier, safer, more convenient home ownership experience.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To make the Congrats card I used the <i>Memory Box</i> "Catalina Wreath" die, <i>Pearlescent Watercolor</i> paints, <i>FSJ</i> stamp "Psalm 91:1", <i>JustRite</i> "Grand Handwritten Sentiments", gold glass beads, and raffia for the bow. The background DP is from a 12x12 pad called "Recollections".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bird was stamped using the metallic watercolors, as well as the top wreath with the peachy-red flowers. (The bottom layered wreath was just a green DP)</div>

Finally! A beautiful sunny day! Only a bit of snow left hiding in the shadows. My tulips are up 3-6 inches so far and my hosta plants are finally showing their little nubs above the ground. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm doing just a quick post here before I go out to wash my muddy car!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I decided on trying a CAS card again...and wonder of wonders...I think I actually did it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The background I created using the "Rubber Band Technique" as suggested on the <a href="http://casmixup.blogspot.ca/">CAS Mix Up</a> blog. I used <i>Tim Holtz Distress Ink</i> "Antique Linen" on the rubber bands then did a metallic <i>Pearlescent Watercolor</i> wash over that. In the light it creates a nice shimmer. </div>

I even used the metallic watercolor paint to stamp the bird, then fussy-cut it, raised it with foam mini squares and adhered it to the background.</div>

Good morning, friends! And happy Monday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyone who has visited my blog often knows that I prefer creating lovely feminine cards far more than making masculine ones. I really struggle with guy cards...they never seem "done"...probably because I can't add bows, lace, sequins, flowers and "fluff"!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, yesterday afternoon I was working with a sketch and wanted to make it into a gate-fold card. That seemed complicated enough, so I chose non-feminine DP and left off the frills.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I dug out an old 6x6 paper pack by <i>Webster's Pages</i> called "Ladies & Gents" so all the colors coordinate perfectly...then I just had to find inks to match. My base cardstock is <i>Paper Studio</i> heavy weight ivory and the inks I used are: <i>FSJ</i> "Coffee Bean", <i>Stampabilities</i> "Lime", <i>Studio G</i> "Aqua" & "Turquoise". To get the right depth of color I used my <i>Misti</i> stamping platform and restamped the pale aqua several times.</div>

I know that Spring WILL get here in Michigan some day soon, but today is cold, windy, grey and downright yucky! We had snow and sleet this morning, and now have warnings for ice tonight. So, a card with lovely flowers is much nicer to look at today...while trying to wait patiently for Spring! </div>

Tonight I made a quick sympathy card using watercolor paper and <i>Tim Holtz distress inks</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I brushed water on the paper and painted wide brush strokes using "Evergreen" & "Shaded Lilac" inks. Then I stamped the butterfly images with the same inks on moistened paper. They have a soft, smudged look that I really like. I added <i>Stickles</i> "Icicle" & "Crystal" for a bit more dimension.</div>

Well, recently I've been in the "spring cleaning" mood so I've been sorting things in closets, cupboards, drawers...and my craft room! I actually sorted and got rid of at least half of the paper scraps that I save from card projects. I had a whole file drawer full! And now all the solids are separate from the prints...a lovely rainbow in an organized box. A few of my favorites were tiny, tiny scraps that I just couldn't part with, so I decided to make one last card with them. I had to piece the background papers and even some of the flowers. It took me probably 3 times longer than usual to make this card! Not sure those scraps were worth that! LOL</div>

The Twofer Card Challenge asks its participants to make 2 different occasion cards using the exact same stamp or die. I thought that sounded like an interesting challenge so I gave it a try. The blue card I posted separately just now (previous post) and now I'll post both cards together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The stamp I used for both cards is a <i>Tim Holtz</i> stamp from the "Components Collection - Tattered Sparrow". The list of items used for the blue card is in my previous post. The other items used on the green card: <i>FSJ</i> ink - "Coffee Bean" & "Green Olive", <i>A Stamp in the Hand</i> stamp - "Get Well", a <i>Gina Marie</i> die - "Fern", <i>I Am Roses</i> pink paper flowers, and <i>Basic Grey</i> cardstock "Offbeat".</div>

Here is a birthday card I made this morning using a sketch that I thought was kinda difficult. I don't use so many circles usually! The sketch called for 5 circles of various sizes. I used the two large flowers as two of the circles.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This birthday card is for a very special lady so I put a bit more effort into making it pretty. She is known in my church as the Card Lady...because each year she gives every adult in our church a birthday card...and often anniversary & get well cards too, and we have a big church...over 200 adults! She prints them using a Hallmark program. Now it is HER birthday, and she has been having some pretty serious health issues, so she needs some encouragement, appreciation and prayers.</div>

The birthday sentiment was computer generated, and perfect for the situation: birthday, but also health problems. I always like to decorate the inside a bit too...to carry through the "I made this special for you" idea. And an appropriate Bible verse, the ultimate "good cheer"!</div>

Once again I bought a new die set and HAD to try it out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This set makes a "spinner" card, i.e. a card with a small element that spins around as the card is tipped different directions. I thought that would be so adorable for kids' cards...something I always need with 13 grandkids!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my first experiment with making a "spinner" card I decided on a baby girl card. The little teddy bear at the bottom has a penny attached behind it so it tumbles/rolls along the slot easily...and looks quite cute!</div>

After just returning from a trip to Arizona where we visited my mom and brothers I wanted to send a quick "Hello, Mom" note. My mom has Alzheimer's and doesn't remember much of daily life, just details of her growing-up years. But she does like cards and pictures, which she sets out on display and is reminded of people and events...sometimes. Even if she can't remember who sent her a card, I want her to remember she is loved.</div>

A quick post this morning before we head out on a 2-week vacation to Arizona! I tried a technique I saw on the 'CAS Mix Up' blog...using plastic wrap with any wet medium. I used Prang watercolor paints, dropped dots of watery paint of different colors onto plastic wrap then laid white cardstock over it and rolled it with a rolling pin. That paper is what I used for this card, but I also took the plastic wrap that still had the paint on it and put that on another sheet of paper and got a different watercolor background! I like both of them...this one is a bit brighter and seemed more appropriate for my grandson's b-day card.</div>

I gave this card to an older lady from my church today who recently fell and broke her hip. My mom did that several years ago and I know how disheartened she was for a while until she was really able to get around well again. And I know this lady loves my cards! So I just had to make a special one for her...with plenty of bling!</div>

Good morning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last night I made a fairly quick card using a sketch I found on the CAS(E) this Sketch blog. Here's the lovely sketch, then my card. I must admit, I'm not sure I allowed enough "white space" on this card for it to be considered CAS...but thanks for the inspiration anyway!</div>

I really did have fun experimenting with adding salt to wet watercolors on paper! Here is another color scheme I tried (my first card is in the post below).</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaaKEZK3p6kz-HeXmFjbEemDgLNHY-bjrwJAlUzd_CtOEpdwOHFmNM8_fCuda6hE5UqNh_wBR12uNfU1kGqCnaX8xd9nHYxlCpwPNzs4ocIBk60qewqVDNE2e1pl7p2ZijIB8XV1r5OHA5/s1600/IMG_20170824_210243.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1331" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaaKEZK3p6kz-HeXmFjbEemDgLNHY-bjrwJAlUzd_CtOEpdwOHFmNM8_fCuda6hE5UqNh_wBR12uNfU1kGqCnaX8xd9nHYxlCpwPNzs4ocIBk60qewqVDNE2e1pl7p2ZijIB8XV1r5OHA5/s640/IMG_20170824_210243.jpg" width="532" /></a></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
I think this one was a bit dry so the salt did not react as well as with the blues on the first card...but I still like it. It makes a softly textured background that somehow has "depth".</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
Other ingredients used:</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<i>Memento</i> "Black Tuxedo" ink</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<i>Stampabilities </i>"Get Well" stamp</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<i>Simon Says Stamp!</i> "Look for the Miracles" stamp set</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<i>Copic </i>and <i>MEPXY </i>markers</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<i>Kaisercraft </i>yellow rhinestones</div>

The CAS Watercolour challenge asked participants to use salt with watercolor paints and enjoy the variety of results. So I tried it and love the amazing texture, "splotchiness" and color washes I got!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is so pretty that I didn't want to cover it up very much. I need men's cards right now so kept this one very simple.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used regular (kids') watercolor paints and added sea salt, both a coarse and a fine type. I like how they both reacted. The stamp is from <i>Graywolfgraphicsrubberstamps</i>.com called "Big Sable Point Lighthouse" (near Ludington, MI).The ink is "Black Licorice" from<i> FSJ</i>; a little <i>Stickles</i> "Star Dust" to finish it off. Oh, the "Hello" die is <i>Hero Arts</i>.</div>

Last night I got out my little plastic box of watercolors...just like the kids use in school! I had seen a couple different techniques online that I wanted to try: adding salt, and stamping over a watercolor wash. This card is the 2nd technique.</div>

To make the watercolor wash background I placed drops of watercolor paint (<i>Prange</i>) on my craft sheet, spritzed it with water, then laid the white paper on it and pressed it with my fingers. If it seemed too light I did it a few more times then let it dry most of the way. I added splatters of the paint on the blank areas. I stamped the flower image (<i>Paper Peddler</i> "Pansies") after it was all dry and went back in and painted the leaves shades of green and touched up the blue flowers where needed. I added <i>Stickles</i> "Crystal" last, then trimmed my water-colored paper to fit the card front. The twine (<i>FSJ</i> ) was added before adhering it to the front. The Get Well sentiment (<i>Stampabilities</i>) is stamped in "Tuxedo Black" (<i>Memento</i>) then die-cut using a <i>Spellbinders</i> "Standard Circles Lg" die. The scalloped circle behind that is also <i>Spellbinders</i>..."Big Scalloped Circles Lg." <i>KaiserCraft</i> rhinestones were the final touch.</div>

I recently found an A2-size stamp at a thrift store and was not sure I'd like how it stamped...but I do! I think it is a small bundle of lilacs (a favorite of mine!). I used <i>TH Distress Ink</i> "shaded lilac" on the whole stamp, then wiped off the leaf part and added <i>TH Distress Ink</i> "peeled paint" with a sponge dauber. After stamping it I added a bit more "shaded lilac" on the left corner, again using a sponge dauber...and finished up by adding <i>Stickles</i> "Star Dust" glitter glue.</div>
