Awesome - CTS #82

I finally made a card for fun using the sketch from Case This Sketch. I also was trying to organize my stamps this weekend and found a couple of stamps sets I have never used before. The main Monster image is from Lizzie Anne Designs called Little Monsters and the sentiment is from a stamp and die set from Heidi Swapp called Chat Bubbles.

Here is the sketch:

Masculine Birthday

I had to make a masculine card for a friend/neighbour that is turning 60 and I find masculine cards the hardest to make.

Purple Flowers

I decided to make a card inspired by a card made this past Friday by Kristina Werner of kwernerdesign.

I stamped the Hero Arts stamp in Versamark on 110lb card stock, which measured 4 1/4 x 11 and was scored at 5 1/2, and embossed it with detail white embossing powder.

Although I did not use water-colour paper I still water coloured the image using distress ink pads and the Tim Holtz detail water brush. I like how it turned out but not as much as Kristina's card of course. I think I'll give it another go soon using water-colour paper next time.

Here is a picture of my card:

This is a list of the supplies I used.

Stamp: Hero Arts-Large Flower Background
Ink: Tsukineko-VersaMark, DistressInk: Victorian Velvet, Dusty Concord, Seedless Preserves, Mowed Lawn, Shabby Shutter & Pumice Stone
Other: Detail White Embossing Powder, Tim Holtz-Detail Water Brush and Recollections-110lb White Cardstock

Hope you have a great night, Kathy
