Hello and welcome to our first Blog Hop for VC Rocks 2013! Yes, it's time to play.
Check back at this blog for more links.
Ok, folks, I am not a photographer and would rather stamp than learn how to shoot photos.
Some of my pictures have an added green splotch in the middle.
Don't know why, but I hope you can still see the cards well enough.
I used Print Poetry Designer Series Paper, Garden Green & Vanilla cardstock, along with the new in color Pistachio Pudding cardstock. I love this Sizzlet's Pinwheel from the Spring Mini Catalog. The sentiment is from a new stamp set Really Good Greetings.
This card is really beautiful, without that green splotch in the middle.
So pretty with the contrasting colors Raspberry Ripple and Crumb Cake/Very Vanilla.
Once again I used Print Poetry DSP, Sizzlets Pinwheel and Really Good Greetings.
These first two cards were CASEd from Mary Fish at Stampin' Pretty.
Using this sketch from Operation Write Home,
I tried to showcase the new 2013-2015 In Colors.
OWH has an abundance of sketches, great tutorials & much inspiration!!
The actual colors are a shade or two lighter, more pastel-like in real life.
The cardstock I used is Whisper White, Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding,
Strawberry Slush & Crisp Cantaloupe.
I also used mini-brads, ribbon and a sentiment from A Round Array.
My last card is my favorite!
I CASEd this from some talented person, but there is no name on the photo.
I used the returning colors in our Color Refresh to make the pencils.
(I missed you Soft Sky and Bermuda Bay!)
I think the sentiment from Really Good Greetings makes this a great end of the school year or graduate card.
It was so much fun to make, I had to hold myself back from adding other colors!
Since my Mojo is back, I have some extra
Magic Mojo Sparkling Dust
that I am spreading everywhere!!
So, Go! Create!!
Do it now!
