Recipe Layout and a couple cards

This first picture is a 8x8 recipe layout I did for a ground beef recipe swap. I used distress inks to ink the bottom edge of the paper, the houndstooth cuttlebug embossing folder for the accent strip and inked the embossing with spiced marigold distress ink. I used a sepia ink pad with the flourish stamps for the back ground.

This get well soon card was made using the D'vine swirls embossing folder, the get well soon is from the Beyond Birthdays cartridge and the flower was stamped in versamark ink on glossy cardstock then brayered over with a rainbow ink pad.

This thinking of you card was stamped with distress inks, I love those inks. I used the cuttlebug tag team butterfly set for the butterfly, I cut one butterfly of a blue textured cardstock then embossed it and lightly sanded it to make the texture pop. The top butterfly was cut of a patterned paper, embossed then inked.

This is a card I made the other day but decided could use a little flock on it. I really like the way the little mouse turned out.



This card also has flocking on the yellow part of the flower, the background is a white glossy paper stamped with versamark ink then "pained" with alcohol inks, the painting was done by lightly dragging the alcohol ink tool across the paper in a diagonal direction. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.



This last card was done with the same versamark technique except the alcohol inks were dabbed on with the applicator. The were originally much darker so I used some blending solution and a baby wipe to wipe some of the ink off. Then I used decorative scissors for the edges.
