Hearts burst out in bloom! Layers of Love Bloom on this piece which can be a card or framed mixed media. I began with our luscious white corrugated paper, a Carefully used Stamp and 'gelpress' image papers.  I rubbed a pale red stamp pad over the corrugated. I wanted lots of layers with textures & interest.  Dew Drop hearts are whimsical. Punchinella (also known as sequin scrap) is a fantastic accent. In total, I had 6 layers of papers and punchinella.  I handwrote Love Blooms Eternal and added it amongst the scrap.  Then I outlined in black pental pen. Supplies include: Ink pads Kai scissors Corrugated paper Carefully used stamp Punchinella Aleenes Glue (or PPA glue ) Dew Drop Hearts Black pen Assorted papers MAKE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR GREAT COUPONS AND PRODUCT PREVIEWS COMING SOON.  See the button on the right sidebar to subscribe.  

Skeletons are perfect birthday card fronts for special people; like this one for Betty. Here are the items I used for my creation: Lost Coast Design Stamp    Gel Print    Paper    Ink and Paint    Embellishments    Collage Images and Text    Stencil    Using one of my gel prints with a lot of texture... ... I stamped the image with Stazon ink. Using a stencil I layered Pan Pastels: Using the fabulous images AlteredPages.com has, I inked a quote and cut it up and trimmed around another transparent image: Then I layered everything from mediums, paint, inks, paint pens, etc... Finally finishing off with embellishments and Stickles. I had so much fun with these great rubber stamps from our Product Partners this month. Show us what you created! Ciao for now, -Trish Alger
