OWH Midweek Throwdown Tic Tac Toe

The Midweek Throwdown this week for Operation Write Home was a Tic Tac Toe Grid for us to choose from.

I chose Ribbon, Tag and Rhinestones.  I was using up some of my stash.  I always liked this vintage paper but it is time to let it go and have someone else enjoy it too! :-)

DSP and Tag is Creative Memories Vintage Romance (only available in a digital version now).  Sentiment is Hero Arts OWH Set Right At Home.  I embossed the sentiment using Versamark Ink and Zing Opaque White Embossing Powder.  I toned down the white with a little Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distressed ink.  Ribbon is from my stash.  

Happy Crafting!

Inkspirational Challenge #6

This week at the Inkspirational Blog the challenge is a color challenge.

The plum and navy set the tone for me to make a sympathy card.  I usually don't have enough of those around when I need them.

The photo doesn't do it justice because the dragonfly is embossed silver and it is a brushed silver edge around the purple background.  It is super shiny IRL.  

Products Used:

Cardstock:  Stampin'Up! Crumb Cake, Not Quite Navy, and Elegant Eggplant

Stamps:  Measure of Life (retired), Teeny Tiny Wishes, En Francais

Ink:  Stampin'Up Perfect Plum, Versamark Watermark, Silver Pigment Ink (unknown manutacture)

Embossing Powder:  Ranger Super Fine Detail Silver
Embellishments:  Making Memories Shaped Gem Brads
Tools:  Tonic Paper Distresser, Tonic Craft Pick

Happy Crafting!

Online Card Classes Clean and Simple Cardmaking 2

As a combination Christmas/Birthday present from my dear SIL, I got a ticket to the Online Card Classes Clean and Simple Cardmaking 2.  This is the first day and I have learned so much from the videos.  This is my version of the card that Jennifer McGuire demonstrated in the class.  She used Hero Arts metal die cuts that matched the stamp set and Hero Arts Shadow ink.  I used Cricut Artiste die cuts, my mish-mashed collection of Thank You stamps and Tim Holtz Distressed Inks.
