Just Us Girls #542 - Photo Week

What a wonderful photo Angie found for the Just Us Girls this week.

There's nothing like a beautiful sunset.  Or is it a sunrise?

I took this photo a number of times with different camera settings and photo editing and could NOT get it to come out clearly.  You really can read that STAMPlorations sentiment - Discover your own paradise - on the original card.  Plenty of Distress Ink blending made the background and a die from The Greetery is responsible for the silhouetted palms.

The Design Team and our guest designer Mudgha are ready to show off their creations - and to see yours.

Less Is More #383

Just a quick post tonight for a card I made for Less Is More who would like to see dimension on our cards.

I stamped the background from Penny Black in Onyx Black and clear heat embossed.  I cut a circle from masking paper, then blended Distress Inks.  Once the sky was done I removed the mask and did some inking on the circle.  Sunrise? Sunset?  You choose.  Or sing. ;)

Less is More #127

I love a sunset.  It's nothing short of awe inspiring to see the variety of colors as the sun goes farther down behind the horizon.  Why am I telling you this?  Because "sunset" is the color theme for Less is More. You don't have to do a sunset, just use the colors, but I did one anyway.

Distress Inks in Mustard See, Ripe Persimmon, Worn Lipstick and Seedless Preserves were blended across my panel.  The Penny Black image was stamped using HA India Black and the panel popped up on foam tape.  I decided against doing a sentiment but I think this would make a wonderful sympathy card.

Thanks for stopping by.
