Always Fabulous

This weekend I have some retired items in my posts, I love using the new products but have lots of retired favorites as well that I always use.

It is amazing how long the shimmer paints last, LOL!  I have used the Champange mist again on this card, the top layer has quite a bit of it and the other layers not as much.

Supplies:

Fast and Fabulous stamp set

Framed Tulips impressions folder

Marina Mist, Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Crumb Cake card stock

Soft Suede, Baja Breeze, Marina Mist classic ink

Champagne mist shimmer paint

dimensionals

5/8" Marina Mist grosgrain ribbon

hemp twine

small oval punch

basic pearls

Happy 4th of July!

I hope you are all having a wonderful and safe 4th of July weekend!  It has been a crazy one around here with a 20 year high school reunion in the mix - but lots of fun!

And now on to the card for today...

The VC Rocks group challenge last week was to make a card using Peach Parfait, Concord Crush and Poppy Parade on a Clean and Simple card.  This is what mine looks like.

I used a clear block to add Peach Parfait ink to Very Vanilla cardstock and used it as my background for the flowers.  There are also some basic rhinestones in the center of each flower to add a little fun.

Supplies:

Very Vanilla, Concord Crush card stock

I put together a card using the retiring hostess set Fast and Fabulous for the Create  with Connie and Mary color challenge this week.

The flowers on the Whisper White card stock are stamped with Old Olive and then I applied Tangerine Tango to the petals with a blender pen.

I used the sketch from Create with Connie and Mary for this card. 

The base is Perfect Plum and then I ran a layer of Basic Black through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper impressions folder.  Behind the torn corner is Newprint DSP.

The Very Vanilla and Perfect Plum flowers were make with the Blossom Bouquet triple layer punch (Summer Mini) and I added a basic pearl to the center of each.

Fast and Fabulous Confirmation

I always like to have some Confirmation cards around so I found a nice sentiment when I did an online search for Confirmation quotes that I printed with MDS and then added to this card.

Colors:

Pear Pizzazz, Baja Breeze, Night of Navy, Very Vanilla

Inks

Baja Breeze, Marina Mist

Springtime Vintage designer series paper

February Stamp Club

This month's stamp club projects...

 I used the Bliss stamp set (Sale-a-bration) on the left side and on the right I wheeled some Bashful Blue on Whisper White and also on the paper flowers using a retired jumbo wheel.

This card uses the crayon resist technique with the Fast and Fabulous stamp set. I used the Occasionals Quotes set for the saying.

And finally, a masculine birthday card using the Plane and Simple stamp set and Log Cabin Smooch spritz. 

Fast and Fabulous dots

I made this card as a thank you for my secret pal at the PRBC stamping retreat the weekend before Thanksgiving.  The colors are Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette, and Cherry Cobbler. 

I adhered all but the stamped layer and then used the Big Shot and the Perfect Polka Dots impressions folder.  The image is colored in with blender pens and then a little extra color on top with markers.  The stamp set is the hostess set Fast and Fabulous.
