Like a Boss




The Ton Motorcycle Boss





I believe this is my first time inking up this motorcycle. 


Clean and simple designs keep it doable and work great with masculine projects. ;)


Have a good one friends~

Farewell Reverse Confetti




I'm so sad Reverse Confetti is closing :(.



Reverse Confetti Foodie Fun/Layered Mom/Patterned Panels  


If I've learned anything since cardmaking in 2011...if you like something from a small business, get it while you can!


Trends change and so do stores!


I'm glad I snagged the items I loved at Reverse Confetti over the years (they've introduced the coolest patterns like this patterned panel stamp).


There's a store closing sale at the moment right now~


Participate at card challenges too, when you can (they change as well)!



It's the last challenge at CASology as well :(.













Thank you for your sweet visit~

Embrace the Day




Sunny Studio Pretty Pumpkins, Concord & 9th Marbled Turnabout, Erin Lee Creative Rainbow Cluster Die, Picket Fence Studios Face the Sun



Simon Says (Wednesday): Anything Goes


The scrap left from a rotated stamped background here 

was just enough to ground the elements on this card.


I built around it with random scraps (sentiment and extra pumpkin that didn't make the cut elsewhere).


The bit of swirl is cut with a rainbow cluster die from Erin Lee Creative.


I just acquired it and I don't want to wait for rainbow weather to use it! ;)




I appreciate your sweet visit today~

DT INkspirational Technique Challenge Stencils

 

It's time for another challenge at INkspirational!




The Greetery Peachy Keen stencil&stamp combo, Reverse Confetti Cuts Stitched Pinwheel




The Ton Stamps Easy Expressions




Honey Bee Stamps Blah Blah Blah sentiment,


Our challenge is to use stencils~




I used a stencil/stamp combo from The Greetery, and I cut it with an interesting cover die from Reverse Confetti.


This way, I get more bang for my buck (in the time I spent stenciling and stamping this panel) by creating two cards.


Please visit our challenge blog, see what my talented teammates came up with and join us!
