Amazing Brusho

Dear Friends and Readers,

After having the temperatures going crazy on us, we had two days of rain, plain rain, and the fear now that once the temperature drops a whole new problem can develop. I just hope that Springs get here soon and move this nasty weather away.

I am enjoying some time spend in my craft corner and making some pretty cards using Sale-A-Bration items as well as Occasion Catalog items. Fun times!

I have played a lot with the Amazing You stamp set and I love it more each time. Of course it makes the set that much more attractive since I got it free with my $50 purchase. And so can you. I want the flowers to be colored and I got it colored using the new Brusho Crystal Color. I love how it works and how easy it is to create backgrounds and to color with it. For this card, I first stamped the images in the Whisper White layer then I proceed to hand cut around ti to make a bit more rustic. Using the Basic Black marker I outlined the edges for a little of depth. Very small black Rhinestones were scattered around for added interest. On the side I placed a ribbon and Linen Thread to continue with the rustic elements of the card. I love the final result. I think I will need to make a few more of these.

Thank you for your visit today. Make sure to stop by again. Be well

Miriam

Here for you.

This week went by in a snap. I was not terribly busy with extra activities, and I do not know how it came to be Friday. Maybe it is because I had some time to play at my craft room and also to enjoy the outdoors and a bit of warm weather.

I worked in a card for the CCMC 403 and had a great time doing so. I think the best is when I can come up with a card using only one stamp set. I almost did, but went a sentiment different than was at the Awesomely Artistic, which provide all the images. The sentiment came from And Many More stamp set. I added a bit of Early Espresso ribbon, and tied it up with Linen Thread, which is very visible, but in person I love the touch. I think this card is a perfect get well/masculine card.

Thank s for your visit today. Enjoy your beautiful day. Be well

Miriam

Peace and serenity.

Hello my lovely readers,

Despite me being quiet the past few days, I guarantee to you that I was rather busy. I was at a local craft show on Sunday but last week, Saturday, and yesterday I have been helping my husband finish up putting a piece of dry wall and lights in our basement. A pipe was leaking and we did not know until it made a bubble in the ceiling. It got all fixed up and I have couple more light in what used to be a dark corner.

I have been also working on some commissioned work and today I want to share a card that I prepared for a lovely young lady whom play the violin at the same academy as my children.

She is a very earthy girl, whom loves the beauty of nature. Considering this, I could not do anything other than a scenery. This scenery has 3 stamps from different sets. The Moon lake stamp set provided me with the boat and the goose, but it was not enough and I need a bit more, and the Lovely as a Tree stamp set gave me just the final touch to my landscape. I sponged the land area with Old Olive and i apply a very small and gentle amount of Lost Lagoon to the lake. Everything else was colored used the Blender Pen, which I love for all my coloring application. The stripes are from the  retired Color Me Autumn DSP, but it was perfect considering the abstract and color, which contrasted nicely with the Basic Black. In all, I am rather pleased with the results and have a sense of peace and calm just by looking at this lovely scenery.... made specially for a lovely young lady.

Thank you for visiting today. Be well.

Sand, Beach, and Sun.

Yes please. I can use all that and then some. We are still dealing with a very moody mother nature that cannot decide if we shall have hot or cold. Over the weekend we reached 80F, and yesterday we did not get pass 50F. Incredible. Oh well.

A girl, can, however, dream of beautiful weather, spectacular sunsets, sand, and the gentle warm breeze from the ocean that it is to me as wonderful as a hug. I made this card inspired by these dreams and by the Free for All challenge 273 from Splitcoast Stampers. I used the soon to retire By the Seashore stamp set and the back panel I stamped with The Open Sea stamp set. The texture on the background is from the Square Lattice TIEF, which is also taking its leave from the catalog. A bit of fussy cutting and the shell and star added a bit dimension to this card.  I really like the looks of this card and I cannot imagine a lady or a gentleman that would not feel a gentle tropical breeze when they open the envelope. May the good winds come our way!
