First up is my latest addiction! Carving erasers into stamps is really so much fun and instantly gratifying. The hardest part was deciding what design to carve. I'm putting together a small care box for my daughter which will include these stamps and notecards, stamp pads and markers. As you can see, her name is Jennifer, her friends call her Jen.
A friend of my husband's was recently diagnosed with lung cancer, so I decided that sending a card might help his spirits.
Next up, February "Love" themed tag swap. this first one is centered around a funny vintage photo! I love her heart shaped hairdo and the arrow going through it :) I just used some scrapbook paper and stamps, uniball gel pen, some plastic glasses and derwent aqua pencils. I used to knit lots a few years back, so two of the tags have some saved up yarn attached through the holes.
The back is all scrapbook paper, a sweetheart stamp and lacy heart stamp :)
This girl is a stamp on deli paper colored with water color markers. The red background is made with inka gold mixed with water. The heart is another stamp filled in with white crackle paint and a hint of a very watered down red water color paint marker. The butterflies and words are also stamped and colored.
The back is covered with a piece of deli "under paper" that had been used under sprayed cheesecloth. I used a little bit of highlight around the little boy and added L O V E inside some of the heart with the uniball gel pen. There is an embossed frame using red and gold embossing powder around him and on the bottom two corners. The border around the card is made with the red inka gold as well.
The last tag started with the sun rays embossing folder. I used some texture cream and some sprays and many different color oil pastels to the entire card. I added the lady in love and her beau with a heart frame.
The back of the tag is colored with red inka gold and a paper doily which was sprayed with tattered angels and heidi swapp. I cut the vintage photo in a heart shape and bordered it with some glitter.
A quick card I made out of water color paper, water color pencils, stamps and of course, a white uniball gel pen.
