Twinchie Series 7

Just a quick one today. Couple of quick cuts on pp & a butterfly found in the diecut box!

Twinchie Series 6

Especially for the day of love. . .

The conclusion is

always the same:

love is the most powerful

and still the most unknown energy of the world.

— Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

I so enjoy playing with techniques too. Found a piece that I had created a while ago : Started by stamping the Hero Arts Lattice Background and embossing in white. Using distress stains I created an ombre look and spritzed with perfect pearls.

The love is from one of the Club Scrap sentiments. Added white gel pen to give a bit of emphasis. Used some new twine from Annabelle stamps and one of Hero Arts delightful pearl hearts.

I'm spending some time with family . . .

Lots of little pieces starting with a piece of Club Scrap paper. I can't remember where the white & blue pp comes from - just a little bitty piece left in my stash. Stamped the Hero Arts polka dot ribbon, family dictionary stamp and heart button. More white gel pen and liquid pearls.

Thought for the day off pinterest :

Still in the circle mood, so here's some more. The background was a piece that was put through an inked up embossing folder, then sprayed with perfect pearls. Punched up some pp circles and added glossy accents. Then some more drops of liquid pearls. It's amazing how they look like they are floating on above the paper - must be the shimmer or the perfect pearls.

First a thought for the day 

Hero Arts clock, sentiment and circle stamps on Club Scrap cardstock. A bit of doodling with white gel pen and a few gems.

Masked Spring Flowers

This was my second card for the card scramble at the Hero Arts flickr group last night..... I started at midnight and had 90 minutes to make, photo and post a SPRING card. 

If you've never played in one of these, it's definitely worth a try. So much fun! A bit like playing the game "Don't Panic"!

With some of the ideas from the Clean & Simple 2 class still swirling around in my head, I decided to use masking and create a CAS card.

So this will also fit with the "Just Us Girls" masking challenge.

Plainly White

Homework for Clean & Simple 2 online class. I was not that happy with it in the beginning, so I added the touches of Liquid Pearl to the centres. Made all the difference.

Love is in the Air

For the CAS-ual Fridays Song Challenge. Coloured in the heart flight paths as they looked too empty, added diamond stickles for the flitter effect. The butterfly and love have glossy accents.
Also embracing the space for the Clean & Simple 2 homework.

Paper Piecing

For A Blog Named Hero Snip and stick challenge. Stamped the pattern on the card, and on 6 different pp. Decided to cut the edge to match the hexagon pattern. Put a strip of black on the inner page.

Here you can see the black strip.

A little bit of crafting each day is good for the soul.

So here's my twinchie of the day. I had a piece of card that I had covered with distress stains. Using the Club Scrap sentiment, I stamped and embossed in white. I used a marke to fill in the calm. Took a heart out of my box of punched / diecut pieces and mounted it on foam.
