Thinking of You

A multipurpose masculine card for the new challenge at
CASology for the cue word of "flame."  Instead of going with 
the fire / vapor definition of "flame," I went with the 
action form of the word ~ to "shine brilliantly" (yes, I 
googled it).   I am sure the very witty and multitalented
Ms. Darnell would have a much more extensive and
humorous story to tell you ;).



Supplies ~
Stamps:  WPlus9 Guiding Light & Guiding Light Sentiments
Paper:  SU Marina Mist, Whisper White, Soft Suede
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, SU Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip, PTI Fresh Snow, Black Sharpie (to go over the stamped sentiment) & Gold Top Marker
Dies:  PTI In the Meadow & Hello Sunshine (used the negative to sponge the beam)
Additional Supplies:  Taylored Expressions Cloud Impression Plate, Magenta cork

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Watercolor Blooms

Another card  for the 6 year anniversary at
Papertrey Ink using the colors at ColourQ.  I used 
reinkers and rubbing alcohol on glossy paper ~ the 
polished stone technique.  I used Melissa's
card as my inspiration ~ on the top left.

A PTI Sketch

A quick card for the festivities at Papertrey Ink for 
their sixth anniversary using one of Nichole's sketch's 
and the colors at Color Throwdown.  I just purchased 
some very fun washi tape at a local craft store,
and used that for the stripes. This is a great design
for my ever growing washi tape collection ;~).

Believe in Fairy Tales

The current cue word at CASology is "fairytale."  
 I am also entering my card at the 52 card pickup.
My card is not for a specific fairytale.  However
many fairytales feature wizard's hats and wands, 
hence my magic hat and wand images.  Did you
ever really think about some of the older fairytales?
There is quite a bit of evil and violence in them,
especially considering they were considered 
"children's stories."  The one and only time I read 
my son "Little Red Riding Hood," his response
was "Mom, that's just weird."  He was right.




Supplies ~ 
Stamps: Serendipity Stamps (D247) & a cube with 4 words (no name or number, from 2001)
Paper:  PTI White, Gold from my stash
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black,  Gold Top Marker
Dies:  PTI Mat Stack # 4 & Layerz Mat Stack # 4
Additional Supplies:  PTI Linen Impression Plate

Wishing you a magical day!
Jean
