July release

Happy Canada Day everyone!  Can you believe it's July already!! Where is this year going!? I find summer months pass far quicker than the winter ones.

Have you popped over to the CPS blog and seen what the design team has created with some of the RBD sets? Amazing work. I am always in awe at what those talented ladies come up with! 

Friends Now on to the release! Here's a card I've done which incorporates both of the new stamp sets from RBD for July.  I've used the set Blossom and Wilt to created the floral pattern on the left hand side and the new Borderlines  set for the subtle pattern on the right. I think they compliment each other beautifully.

The daisies were made by stamping versamark onto white cardstock using the solid daisy image and then heat embossing. I then took my brayer and rolled an even pink layer over the entire piece. I then took the smaller daisy and heat embossed it as well. After doing that I used my brayer and covered another layer in a pale yellow to turn the paper into a peachy tone. Notice how the embossed flowers keep the color of the layer they were stamped on. I love using this trick and do it quite a bit.

I forgot to photograph the inside of the card, but it has the partner sentiment inside which reads "...and also there when you wilt".

I will be posting 3 more cards in the next little bit all made out of one piece of custom patterned paper I created using this set. Be sure to check back so you don't miss it!! 

Don't forget to stop by CPS and enter to be in the draw!!

CPS Sponsorship and a card

Hello everyone! I am here, alive and well. I am here today to let you know that RBD is the sponsor for this week's card sketch over at Card Positioning Systems (CPS)

122 Here is the sketch, be sure to play along over at the CPS blog!



Thanks Here is my version of this sketch.

I used the Curly Tree set and embossed it with sparkly white EP (sorry I didn't keep the jar it came in but I believe it was called "winter wonderland")

I then used a few dye inks and made a color wash over the entire front. I like the distressed look and I roughed up the edges with my scissors. I then stitched and then removed the thread as well for a more destroyed effect.  hope you like it!! Check back later this week for more fun and exciting things to come!
