Fairy Card

Here is a fairy card that I worked on today.


Fairy Card
Supplies Used
Stamps: Elemental Doodles
Cardstock: TAC (textured brown, Cream), SU (light blue)
Printed Paper: Making Memories
Ribbon: Miscellaneous
Coloring Medium: Twinkling H2O
Inks: TAC Palette Burnt Umber
Embossing Powder: Transcendence
Miscellaneous: Double Stick Tape, Foam Dots, Cuttlebug, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Gold Embellishment from Making Memories.

Instructions:
This is really a very simple card to make.

1. Cut and fold light blue CS to regular card size.
2. Emboss front of light blue CS.
3. Cut chocolate brown textured CS to the desired size .
4. Cut the printed paper to just smaller than the brown CS.
5. Cut cream CS just a tad smaller than the printed paper.
6. Stamp fairy image in Burnt Umber ink and emboss.
7. Color fairy using Twinks.
8. Add a touch of glitter for embellishment.
9. Using finger dauber (or other pouncing tool) add burnt umber ink to the edges of the cream CS.
10. Add gold embellishment from Making Memories.
11. wrap and tie ribbon around center of card (where card opens up instead of out). I add a little adhesive to the back of the ribbon so it will stick to the card better without moving.
12. Add layers to front of card. Use 3D foam dots to mount the top layer with the fairy.

Pear Card

Well I finally got a chance to play with my Slice machine today. While it does have it's little "issues" I have to say that I think I am going to go ahead and keep my little machine. MM people said they are working on the "issues" and will make sure I am taken care of when a solution has been found. Soooooo, I will just deal with the wonky cuts every now and then because I absolutely loved playing today. I picked up 2 more design cards today....Noteworthy and Basic Shapes 2. I haven't played with Basic Shapes 2 yet but am loving Noteworthy. I almost didn't get it but am so glad I did anyway.

Oh yeah, and my other purchase today was a little disappointing but actually made me space my spending a little. LOL I went to Michael's and they had the Cuttlebugs, Cuttlekids and all the accessories on SALE for 50% off today. So I was going to go ahead and get me one of those little Cuttlebugs but they were all out. :-( They DID give me a raincheck for one at the discounted rate and it will be in stock in 2 weeks. WooHoo!!! Kim was over today and I played with hers and decided this is a must have gadget for me. LOL

And here's the card that this post was originally supposed to be showing off. LOL
