PLAY DATE....CARDS Part 2

CARD on Left: = (CASEd from Anne Hayward)
Set: Tart and Tangy
CS: CS Vellum - WHisper WHite - Basick Blaclk - Rose Red
INK: = Basic Black Stamppad & Markers of Regal Rose and Rose Red
OTHER: Sticky strip for the beads on cup lip and crystal effect for the DD glitter on the strawberry lemonade slice on the cup!!!

I used a pretty in pink marker to color the slice of lemon and then I colored
the edges of lemon in rose red marker to give it a two tone effect!!!

CARD on the Right =(my own creation)
Sets: Lovely as a Tree - Curvy Verses
CS: Really Rust - Ruby Red - Old Olive - Vanilla - Basick Black
INK: Summer Sun + same as CS colors using my markers

The card is pretty straightforward!!! All I did to get the multiple tree colors is stamp my tree in summer sun and them I just brushed markers in different fall colors over the top! The key to thistechnique is starting with the lightest color on your stamp and using the markers to add other darker colors layer by layer!!!!

Until Tomorrow...STAMPIN in the SON!!!

2005 Sabbatical SB Page

SUPPLIES:
CS: Basic Black and Very Vanilla
Other :White Gel Pen - SU FONT CD (not sure what font)
Sets: Making Tracks Wheel

In 2005 my husband's company gave him a paid 2 month Sabbatical and we took to the road on our Harley! I had saved enough vacation that I could go too!!!The background of this SB page is the tire tracks wheel in different colors(they match the dots on the map) The title was a photo I took of some scenery in the BADLANDS of SD. I then used an outline font and printed it over the photo. Cut out the words and I had my title. My journaling is on the tab marked pull hidden behind the map!!! This is my favorite way to journal because my sloppy handwriting is hidden and it makes te page more pleasing to the eye! Once it's in the page protector I just slit the protector and you can pull out the journaling if necessary.


SORRY!! I haven't posted sooner this week! Work and life seemed to have gotten in the way.

Until Tomorrow...STAMPIN in the SON!!!!!

One of A Kind Card

This was another card I sent to Stampin UP! for a contest! Didn't win with this one either! ;o(

SUPPLIES:
Sets: Riot of Petals - One of a Kind

Punches: 1" and 1 3/8" circle
Other: VersaMark Pad - Gold Brad- Glassy Glaze EP

Instructions: I'm an expert at CASEing but this is a Jenni Original :o)
For this card I stamped Riot of Petals in Cameo coral ink and then markered on the garden green. I used the fishy wheel (can't remember it's name) and rolled out some fish in ballet and cameo ink! I cut out the fish and adhered to my card! I took my Versamark pad and went over the whole piece of vanilla cardstock, after which I embossed with Glassy glaze EP (3 seperate coats). I punched a 1" circle into Ballet Blue CS and then punched a 1 3/8" over it to give me the ring around my orange fishy! VOILA my card is DONE!!!
