It's Day Seven- Let's Remake the Day One Card

So when I decided to use these cards for my class I wanted to add a fun technique instead of using patterned paper for the background. This is the exact same card as Sunday's but with an inked and stamped background.

 Just like the red background on the Day Three card, I blended Evergreen Bough Distress ink on white cardstock, sprinkled some pearly water and then stamped the fun snowflake image in the same ink.

Lots of Stamping on the Day Six Card

I wanted to use the images in the "And a Partridge" set to create a colorful background. I repeated patterns with cheerful colors. I liked how it looked so much I decided not to cover it up so I went with a simple sentiment label and twine to finish the card. This is second card for my November class.

I stamped the tree with Crushed Olive Distress ink, the leaf border in Peacock Feathers and the hearts in Festive Berries. Festive Berries was also used to color the label and stamp the leaf border.

Here's all the products I used for this card:

Guess What? It's Day Five Already

I have always been a fan of American folk art. How happy was I to find that this adorable partridge in a pear tree set lends itself quite nicely to this style.

Here's my attempt at a folk art card:

I love how the Soft Granite ink looks with yellow!

I made this card with only plain cardstock; white, black and kraft. I added color to the scallops with a Faber-Castell Big Brush Marker in Dark Chrome Yellow. I colored the pears with it as well before adding some Glossy Accents for shine. This card is the first one for my class in November.

We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, 

progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; 

in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.
