Bubble border

Cathy here with a card for our Border event.

Frist off I want to thank our own DT Iona for this idea for a card. I stared off with some watercolor paper and some Nuance watercolor powers.

Next I stamped the bubble border on the paper twice. Then I started cutting them out. I left one main one as the stamp is and the second one I cut apart. Laying the main full one in the middle and then I picked different strips from the second on I cut up laying it on either side from the middle. I did this till I got a full card how I like it.

Last but not least I stamped the Skeleton on black paper and used white embossing power. Cut around the image and used foam squares to rise it up.  

Ta-Da my card is done. I say grab your border stamps and try them a new way. Mine I didn't even use as a border.

Number Flower

Cathy here to share a tag I made for the
numbers challenge

I started this tag from a clean up of black and white paint that I had extra on my craft mat.  Next I took out my numbers stencil and some black ink and added it to my tag to about half way down the tag. Then I used the numbers border  to stamp here and there on the tag. Edged the tag with black in before my next step. I had my other half of my face flower from my other project I did. Just a reminder it is from Lost Coast / Carmen Veranda's coloring book. I glued it on the side of the tag. I sat there and looked at it and thought it needed something so I stamped the numbers border on a scrap paper and then I cut out the numbers and glued them on the petals of the flowers.

I had some of numbers Dresden and I picked 3 numbers out and glued them on the bottom of the tag. Last I added some of Tim's plastic arrow and words. I added some white paint to them. I didn't like the all white on the arrow so I scraped some off.  

 

True Friends

This month over at the Portal the theme is Numbers. Here is one tag I made for this challenge.

This is how I made this tag. I stamped thick and thin men on my tag. Next I took a distress inkpad and smooched it on the craft mat and picked up the color and painted the background. Dripped the leftovers of ink on the top of tag. After that was dry I stamped the numbers border on it. I had some rub-ons on my table and guess what they had numbers on them. So I added them. I colored the men with copic markers. Added some word stickers and twine on top and we are done.

Please come to the Portal and join the Numbers Challenge this month.

 

Winterish Card

I made this card awhile ago. I used Oxide inks to make the background. I stamped Mistletoe Goth from Lost Coast.
As I said I did make this card awhile ago. Had it mounted on the card and it sat there. I always felt it was missing something. Then one day I said color the berries red and add glossy accents to them. So I did.
