Mixed Bunch

Today I will share swap number four that I made.

My friend Chanda Stehlik, who is my upline, sends me card kits once a month and this card was one she sent too me a couple months ago.  Now she used a different color of card stock but I didn't have that color so I used this color for the technique I wanted to do.  I outlined the stamped image with a VersaMarker to give it a shadow.  You can see Chanda's card HERE.

More Mixed Bunch RAK cards

Well, I'm on a roll this week, three post (actually, I've had all of these cards sitting on my camera for the last week, waiting to be posted!) Next week, well we shall see what happens, lol. Here are a few more RAK cards that I made. I was in a paper and ribbon share and have had both just waiting on my craft table to be used, so I thought this would be a good way to use some of it! The Designer Series Paper is called Twitterpated and I LOVE these two colors! The ribbon is 3/8" pleated Satin Ribbon, again, in two of my favorite colors, one of which will be retiring soon (sad face here). I once again used the Mixed Bunch stamp set and the coordinating punch, Blossom. This time I did use Whisper White to make my flowers (Blushing Bride and Baja Breeze ink was used) and you can see the design on the flower much better and to fancy it up some I added a large pearl. I also used one of the skinny embossing folders, and the coordinating stamp from the Bordering On Romance stamp set. I colored in the flowers with Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze and Certainly Celery markers. You can click on the picture to get a better view.

I hope my simple and easy card will brighten the recipients day! Thanks for stopping in to see my cards! Mary

Mixed Bunch RAK Card

Hello, hello, hello! I just love spring, how about all of you, what is your favorite season? Here is a card that I made as a RAK (random acts of kindness) for a lady who is going thru cancer treatment for about three different types, I can't even begin to image what she is having to go thru! I wanted something that was happy and springy to send to her.

I decided to pull out this stamp set, Mixed Bunch, I also used the coordinating punch too, makes for a fast flower, even the little center is in the set! I pop the centers up on a dimensional for added depth. Probably should have used white for the flowers so the stamping would have shown up better, oh well there is always next time! I used the Framelit embossing folder along with the Edgelit die. I also used the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch to add a smaller flower. I used my brayer and some Certainly Celery ink and inked up the Stripes embossing folder to make my background paper with.
