Magenta Mirrored Bird Thanks Card

I am up on the Magenta blog sharing a card that was created using a reversed image or mirror image of a stamp.

I try to get the most out of my craft supplies so after using pastes, paints, or gels on a project, I will put the leftovers onto a 4x6 index card or two. Such was the case for the start of this card's background. Full step-by-step how-to details can be found on the Magenta blog here.

TTFN,

Beware

A little spooktacular Halloween fun with this Beware card for this month's Emerald Creek Dare. It's glitzy grunge with a little doodle to ward off the weary for some Emerald Creek Dares Freaky Fun!

After inking a piece of cardstock paper with Distress inks, I stamped it using the Kimilese stamp and then grunged it up with some black ink edge distressing. Next, I cut out the cat and sentiment. I embossed the cat with Oil Rubbed Bronze embossing powder. I embossed the sentiment with Violet Fuschia Sparkle embossing powder along with a border edge area on the card base. Then, I adhered the cardstock to the base, the cat to the background and the sentiment onto the cat. Using a black Zig pen, I doodled the spider.

Simple Seasonal Card

I am up on the Magenta blog with this simple yet effective seasonal card.

I created two slightly different colour variations of the card but both start out the same. 

On a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 natural paper coloured cardstock card base, I stamped the large Autumn Oak Leaf stamp using Wild Honey Distress ink and slightly spritzed it with water to activate the ink in some areas allowing for some variation in colour. Next, I splattered the card with some of the ink left on my craft mat mixed with water. Once dry, I stamped the Carpe Diem sentiment with a combination of StazOn Saddle Brown ink and Gold Delicata ink making one darker and one lighter. Next, I splattered some Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz on each and once dry, I inked the edges of the darker one with Vintage Photo Distress ink and the lighter one with Gold Delicata ink.

Such a simple yet effective card.
