THANKS

I'm here today to show you my very first ECLIPSE CARD. These are really popular right now and I really wanted to try to make one. There are LOTS of tutorial videos out there on how to make them.
I really like the looks of the eclipse. The most popular are ones made using letters of the alphabet like mine. But I've also seen some really nice cards where the eclipse was done with shapes instead. I plan on trying that out too.
Here's a quick run down of what I used to make my card...

SU - Very Vanilla, Ruby Red, Taken with Teal, Kiwi Kiss card stock
My Minds Eye - DP from the Dolled Up collection
MFT - Big Thanks Die-namic
MFT - Upsy Daisy Die-namic
1/2" Grosgrain ribbon

Until next time...

A TREE FOR ALL SEASONS

Every so often I like to find an older or retired stamp set that hasn't seen ink in quite awhile and ink it up. There are so many great sets that have been retired over the years that I always enjoy using them again. This set is called A Tree for all Seasons by Stampin' UP! I love how the first image is a tree in the spring, then that same tree in summer, fall, and winter.

Here are the other products that were used to make this card.
Spellbinders - Classic Squares dies
MFT -  Blueprints 3 Die-namics
MFT - Stitched Square Scallop Edge Frames
SU Garden Green card stock
MFT - DP - Proper Pinstripes
Various Copic Markers

Until next time...
