May Flowers

 
 
 Hi All, today I am sharing a card I made for the Gecko Galz DT.    For this 5 x 7 card I used the image from May Days along with the Floral Symphony paper.  I printed them both on to Staples matte photo paper, distressed the edge with Ranger Weathered Wood, added some tiny pearls to surround the medallion and some Stampin Up Crystal Effects to the medallion itself.  My bottle of Crystal effects is very old and it has started to yellow a bit which made it work perfectly on this medallion.   I used a little pink lace to finish it off.  I printed the envelope liner on regular copy paper and glued it inside the envelope.
Don't forget there is still time to enter the Gecko Galz Mothers Day May challenge at the Gecko Galz blog.  I hope to see some of you there.   
That's it, thanks for stopping by.  ~Diane

Asha with Friends

I love this stamp, it reminds me of how my daughter would try to grab on to my son and practically strangle him when they were young.  The stamp is called Asha with Friends, the designer is Lia Stampz.  She was so gracious, when I purchased the stamp she allowed me to compose 5 sentiments of my own to go with the image and she emailed them to me.  She does this with all of her images, this is one of my 5, I love how she added the little heart to it.  I used  Lindsay's Stamp Stuff  Decorative Doilies to cut the square doily and I used the negative as my envelope liner, the paper is Stampin Up.  I found a new trick for my bows.  If you look closely I used a tiny rubber-band to make the cinch in this bow.  I kept playing with it and I could not get it right then I remembered I had some of the teeny tiny rubber-bands left over from when my kids wore braces, I had stuffed them in with my craft stuff, sure I would figure out a use for them some day (10 years later, lol).  It really made a perfect bow.  
Just a note here, we will be picking up the wood for our floors this weekend, I may be posting sporadically for the next few weeks, months, years?  I don't know, I'm not sure, how long will it take us to install the floor ourselves?  At some point we will have to take down my craft room, won't that be a nightmare, you did read that I saved rubber-bands for 10 years didn't you, ha ha.  I hope it goes quickly and without too many problems.  That's it for today, as always, thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Proud as a Peacock

This is one of my favorite images from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff, I have wanted to attempt it forever!  I am really happy with how it came out too.  I printed it twice once on the new Mod Summer Papers, which I changed to the color blue and again on white card stock.  I colored the big centers on the white cs in with my 3 different colors of Letraset Pro Markers, then cut them out and pasted them onto the blue print.  I did some shading on the blue print along with a ton of Stickles, I outlined just about everything with Stickles.  The picture truly does not show the sparkle I have going on here.   The gorgeous jewels are from Pizzazz APlenty the StampinUp background paper matched the embossing plate and that lace reminded me of the peacocks fan. Both of these sets are on sale today,  Lindsay's Stamp Stuff and MyGraphico are having a  1 day 40% off sale.  Please check out the bargains, you will kick yourself if you don't!  Thanks for looking, I really appreciate all of your sweet comments, ~Diane.

Love is in the Air

 
Love is in the air and so is this Sweet Sale at Lindsay's Stamp Stuff.  I thought it was only fitting, since so many couples get engaged on Valentines Day to do a wedding themed card, that and it gave me another chance to use my 2 favorite sets.  I used Bold Black and White papers and changed the color to gray in Word.  I also used the new Posh n Trendy set.  These are all on sale until the 6th, so take advantage of the fabulous prices.  Need some more reasons to to shop, check out what the fabulous design team has made this week!  Don't forget to stop by Lindsay's blog The Frugal Crafter for this weeks freebie and more inspiration.
Thanks for looking.  ~Diane
