Live in the moment card

I made this as an anniversary card for some good friends. The background is the Glimmer Lace technique  from the Aug/Sep issue of the Technique Junkies newsletter. I substituted Ranger Distress Ink refills and Perfect Pearls. The stamps are Tim Holtz designed by Stampers Anonymous. I layered the sentiment by cutting a shape with a Spellbinders die.

Love...Anniversary Card

Here's a card I made for an anniversary. I used the Glimmer Lace Tutorial from Technique Junkies found in the Aug/Sep 2010 issue for the background. I also used the Pinwheel technique from the same issue. I used my own sprays made with Ranger Distress Ink reinkers and Perfect Pearls for the background. I used some smeared Stickles for the Pinwheel parts. I got the idea from the Ink Stains blog. The stamp is from Hero Arts.

Witches ATC

Here's a change from the Halloween cards I've been posting, it's a Halloween ATC! Actually the theme for this Stampers Corner Yahoo Group is "Witches" not Halloween. I got this image from the internet but can't remember where so I can't give credit. I can give credit for the stamp though. I used a portion of an Artistic Outpost stamp and then cut around the swirls to tuck the printed image through it. After stamping the image I added some Stickles to the stamped potion. I wanted to color the background blue to match the sky and had some leftover homemade shimmer/glimmer that I made with Ranger Distress Inks and Perfect Pearls. My mister clogged so I decided to pour the remaining contents onto the cardstock so the whole thing is very shimmery/glimmery.

Gorgeous Geishas ATC

I made this ATC for the Stampers Corner Yahoo group using the Glimmer Lace technique by Technique Junkies. I made with the Glimmer Lace technique by Technique Junkies. I made my paper with Ranger Distress Inks and Perfect Pearls instead since I had those supplies on hand. The theme for this ATC was Gorgeous Geishas and I used a stamp by Inkadinkado and made an attempt at making a knot with mizuhiki cord.

Another Glimmer Lace card

This technique by Technique Junkies is called Glimmer Lace. I made a few too many backgrounds and the lace was not giving the best masking effect BUT I kept it since I liked the colors and the glimmer/shimmer. Like others I made I used Ranger Distress reinkers and Perfect Pearls. The stamp is by Hero Arts.

The World on a card

A few weeks ago I made a bunch of backgrounds using the Glimmer Lace Technique Junkie technique. I used Ranger Distress Ink refills in the mini mister with a bit of water and Perfect Pearls. I made too many impressions without letting the lace thoroughly dry and I wasn't happy with this one. After it dried I decided to use it anyway and I thought the Inkadinkado stamp of the world would go well with it. I used another stamp with postmarks (manufacturer unknown) and then a bit of paper from the DCWV Travel theme to complete the card.

Black and White only TGIF ATC

This one is a tough one to display even after using some adjustments in Photoshop. Anyway, the theme for the Altered Designs Yahoo group this week was Black and White only. I used Rangers crackle paint in Black Soot. After it dried and I got my crackles I stamped these images designed by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous (exclusive to Michael's) with Perfect Medium then dusted them with Perfect Pearls in Pearl.
