newest card

Another card made by using Tim Holtz technique of stamping on watercolor paper. You put the ink on the stamp spritz it quickly with water, stamp and dry with a heat gun.

The background was  made with a cuttlebug embossing folder and colored with Ranger dusty concord (my new favorite) ink. There is some green and a touch of aqua thrown in too, and some walnut ink.

The sentiment is from my print shop program. it's     We cannot imagine your sadness!
                                                                                     We can only empathize with your
                                                                                      pain. Our thoughts are with you.

June 24th

june 24th is my wedding anniversary, 38 years ago  today was a very cold day for June. We got married on the front porch of my parents home with our grandmothers huddled under shawls. Today it is in the 90's.

Boy what 38 years does to a planet LOL

Here is the card I made for my DH

Butterfly

Had such a good time Friday, it was the first time I let myself spend much money on craft supplies since my dh was laid off. I went to the Columbus Expo in Columbus, Ohio and went directly to the stamper anonymous booth. Wendy Veah was there, I know I gushed and probably said her name wrong but I was so suprised to see one of my favorite designers in person that I was like a teenager and a rock star.

She signed her 'make art, studio 490 style' (after I bought it) It says "Diane Make Art! Wendy Veah"

I also bought Tim's fanciful flight die and made an Easter card out of it. I made an embossing folder and embossed one layer and added a die cut butterfly on top. It also had Happy Easter embossed in gold powder and I added a glitter with sticklers.

My November page is differient from Ron's. I didn't have the supplies she did. I crumpled my brown paper, wet it crumpled it, wet it, added some gloss sealer and covered it with tissue paper, then added the perfect pearls.
