Spotlight on Susan Goetter

I saw Susan's card and was impressed by its simplicity and beauty.  I made this card at my mother's while visiting her in Canada this last week.  Simply stamp your image in Versamark on the white cardstock.  Emboss image with white embossing powder.  With a sponge, gently rub some Bashful Blue ink around the trees.  Stamp your sentiment and voila!!  Adding Susan's blog link on my list.  Go check it out!!

Jen Time!

Jen had this genius idea to use the new Raven lace trim to make a skirt for this witch!  I gave it a try and it turned great!  Very easy too.  Thanks so much Jen for this idea!  Here's her card.

FTL107

Following  sketch #107  from the Clean & Simple blog.  I apologize for the quality of the photo.  Colours don't look right but it is late and there is no natural lighting. I played a bit with the contrast and brightness and I don't have a ton of time to work on this so it will have to do.  Used a blender pen to colour the image.

Spotlight on Maile Belles

I love Maile's cards.  She has such a fun simple style.  When I saw this one, I was thrilled about how quicly this would come together.  So, I chose this cute summer paper print from K&Company called Berry Sweet.  Used the new SU! Decorative Label punch from the mini catalog (page 25), placed my sentiment, adhered the paper panel with large Pop Dots, added ribbon and voilà!!

Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful Labour Day!  Off to a BBQ with friends!
