Rainbow Silk

This was a card I did as a thinking of you card for a friend who was dying of cancer.

The stamp is SU's Hope for Comfort set and on the inside it says "and that tomorrow's even better."

Sadly she died a few months later.

The moral of this story? Don't neglect your annual mammograms and monthly self checks.

Polished Stone again

Two of my favorites together in one card. Polished stone and SU's Stipple Rose. I colored it with markers. That is mounted on gold glossy cs.

Purple Polished Stone

This is from a sheet of polished stone I did in purples. I like polished stone the best when I do it with Radiant Pearls because of the shimmer.

In fact I bought a ton of Radiant Pearls simply to do polished stone with, although I occasionally will color an image with them

Stamp set is SU's Nice & Easy Notes.

Black Polished stone

In doing January's Monday Mailers which were black and white, I made a sheet of polished stone using just a black re-inker and alcohol. I cut the sheet in to quarters then put each quarter through my Sizzix with the frame die. This gave me 4 frames and 4 atc's, so I got 8 cards out of one sheet of background paper.

This one I stamped with SU's Flowers of Gratitude and Noteworthy sets and embossed with white embossing powder.

The gray cs is stamped with SU's Toile Blossoms

Pointsettia Resist

I did this with the crayon resist technique. The stamp set is SU's Pretty Pointsettias. The color is sponged on the glossy card stock.

Did you know if you go to Crayola's website you can custom order boxes of crayons with just the colors you want? I got a 64 count box of crayons that was a mix of gold, silver, copper and white.

Triple Play Pirate

Here is a "pirate" themed card done with the triple play technique.

The ship is from SU's Words by Wilson, the compass from I Break For Stamps. The map background I bought at our local scrapbook store.

Torn Frames Pirate

The Monday Mailer theme for March was pirates. I didn't have any pirate stamps so I borrowed this one from a friend.

I did the torn frames technique with it. The belt across it is done with faux felt and the buckle is a pop top from a soda can.
