Birthday and Sympathy


Here are two more cards that I made using marker-to-rubber-stamp method. I used gold on this first birthday card, and black on the sympathy card.  The sentiment is five layers of die-cuts.


The sentiment on this card is from Papertrey Ink.

Sorry For Your Loss


Finally, I'm using one of my flower images that I created by using markers on rubber stamps, then misting before stamping. I have several more stamped images to use up, but this is a start. The sentiment is from Gina K. I fussy cut it and popped it up.

More Paint Samples


I love the color of this patterned paper, and it matched so nicely with some of our paint samples. I have four more backgrounds ready to finish into cards, but this is what I have for now. This first one features a die-cut paint sample and a Gina K stamp.


The butterfly is another paint sample die-cut. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.


These last two are nearly identical - just different flower dies and slightly different color paint samples. The sentiment is from Gina K. I also added a few sequins.

Wyatt


Since I messed up yesterday and scheduled two posts, I will skip a card today and just share something fun and wonderful. Our youngest grandson, Wyatt, was featured on the NBC Nightly News on Monday evening. You can watch the story here. What an amazing kid he is - so smart and caring and funny and independent and thoughtful. And he is lucky to be so included. I think they did an awesome job with this story.

Dragonfly BIrthday


Another paint sample used on this card. I stamped the flower on it (using an old wood-mounted rubber stamp) and added a touch of color with Copic markers. I also added an enamel dot to the center and matted with a scrap of black. The flower panel is mounted on foam squares before being added to the black. The patterned paper is from a very ancient matstack from Sizzix. The sentiment and die are from Gina K.

Marker on Rubber Stamps


Both of these cards use an old wood-mounted rubber stamp. I used markers to color the image, then spritzed it with water and stamped to the cardstock. This first one uses another old rubber stamp for the sentiment. The sentiment on the second one is from Gina K. The patterned papers are very old from my huge stash of 12 x 12 papers.

Smile


And finally, the technique that got me looking through my wood-mounted stamps. I have many other stamped flowers using this technique that I have yet to make into cards. I colored the stamp with markers, misted it and then stamped. For this card, I covered it with vellum and stamped and embossed the sentiment - another wood-mounted rubber stamp. This is a gate-fold card.

Cheery Daisies


Another wood-mounted rubber stamp for this card. Daisies - my fave. Super simple coloring and a sentiment - from Gina K. Some cute dotted yellow patterned paper and some thin black strips completed the card.

Unicorn Wishes


I got a beautiful Mother's Day card from a friend, reminding me of a long-forgotten technique - markers on rubber stamps, spritz with water and stamp. So pretty!! So, I did some digging through some of my thousands of wood-mounted stamps and picked out some flowers for that technique. But, I also came across other stamps that begged to be used. One was this unicorn stamp from Stampin' Up! I was looking for some whimsical, fantastical or other appropriate patterned paper and came up with these. The sentiment stamps are from Gina K. I cut out the unicorns and mats with Nestabilities.


The unicorns on this paper are silver metallic.
