New Queen... QFTD126

I made these two cards for our Queen this week...

 For this first one I brayered a sunset.  This is what it looked like without stamping...

I masked off the bottom left corner with a piece of torn paper.  I brayered yellow, then orange, then red.  I took the paper off and sponged in brown and black in the bottom area (so it hopefully looks like a hill).

I stamped the trees with Staz On black, but it didn't show up as well as I wanted, so I colored the image in with black marker.  I'm really pleased with how this turned out.  The trees are from "Evergreen" and a retired set "Branch Out"

For this card I used my square punch and punched out 6 pieces of patterned paper.  Added a piece of ribbon with a stapler, punched out the sentiment and pierced some holes and used a marker to connect the dots (faux stitching).

Really simple to make.  I used some colors I don't normally put together and I'm happy with how it looks.

I really hope you come play along with the Queen for the Day Challenge.



New Queen... QFTD121

I made these two cards for this week's Queen.
Please come play along with the Queen for the Day Challenge.

I used "I Dig You" and "Evergreen" and "Something to Celebrate".

I made the tree smaller by just inking part of it.  I stamped on green paper and then cut it out.

I used the cupcake punch to make the clouds.

I used this week's fabulous colors.  Crumb Cake, Raspberry and Pink Pirouette.  I still love this tree stamp and this sentiment stamp.

I made these two cards for the Queen for the Day this week.
I invite you to come join in with the Queen for the Day Challenge.  You can find it here.

I kept this card pretty much exactly like Dawn's card.  I just added the decorative label punch with brad and changed the sentiment and patterned paper.

I made the "fence" with word window punch and stamped with woodgrain.

The colors are from Stampin' Royalty - wisteria wonder, blushing bride, certainly celery, baja breeze

New Queen... QFTD111

I made this two cards for Queen Betty (gbedwright). 

PLEASE come join us at the Queen for the Day Challenge this week.

This first one uses "Branch Out" a retired set and "Sincere Salutations".  I sponged around the Top Note shape and I used the retired photo corners punch.  I also added some brads and mini brads.

I distressed the edges of this one.  I also used my embossed frame.  The flowers are made by crumpling boho blossoms flowers.
