Tomorrow is my downline meeting, and I am looking forward to seeing everyone. We have a special guest, Carol coming who is going to teach us how to make some very special ornaments. I'll see if I can share them with you or not.
So I needed to make my swap card for the meeting, so I took a gander around the web and checked on some of my favorite blogs. Renée, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from Canada is one talented gal, so I used this card as my inspiration.
I colored with my watercolor pencils and the sansodor and then added more red with the Real Red marker, and since there was watercolor pencil layed down on the paper first, I was able to blend my Real Red marker with the sansodor, I just dabbed it with a tissue when I was done to make sure it was good and dry. Aren't these little guys cute?
Here's the finished card, I put a little gel pen on the greeting to make it look like snow had settled on top.
Stamp Set: Holiday Lineup, Many Merry Messages
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red, Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP
Ink: Basic Black
Misc: watercolor pencils, stump, sansodor, white gel pen, Real Red marker, Only Orange marker, Polka dotted grosgrain ribbon, 1 1/4" circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch
So tonight I watched Ghost Whisperer, and I have not seen it since I guess it was the end of last season where the husband finally remembered the ghost whisperer wife (how sad, I can't think of their names), but anyway I turned it on and they have a little boy. Who is he? Did they jump several years into the series or what?
Well I gotta clean my mess of a studio up for tomorrow!
Have a great Saturday, and thanks so much for stopping in!
LOVE IT!!!!!! You do such wonderful work!
Cute. I like the snow resting on top of the letters.
I might just have to case this one!!! I have this set. I like it when you make samples with sets that I have!!! Then I can case….oh…gotta go… Mum's here!!!
Happy World Card Making Day!
Love Jax
Wonderful card, Diana! (and thanks for the shout out!)
Di:
Since no one else has told you. RE: Ghost Whisperer… Yes, they fast forwarded 5 years. She was pregnant at the end of last season.
In first eppy this season we see child born, then it quickly ff'd to 5 yrs. ahead.
Sam, thanks for the Ghost Whisperer explanation, I probably could have googled it but thought I would ask.
I need to get back to watching regular shows now that the new seasons are here.
Hugs,
Di
Di,
This is just an adorable card. I don't have the set, but it may end up on my next order. I haven't tried using sansodor yet either. That seems to give nice results. Love it!
HI Di. This looks good. I wanted to tell you that I did the 10-10-20 class last night and today and it was a big hit! Thanks for the idea and help. They all want more!!! What can I say? Yes yes yes.
Hi Debbie,
Glad they liked the 10/10/20 class, I know they are very popular for me and my customers love them.
Hugs,
Di
I always love your coloring, and I really loved the way it 'snowed' on the words.
It is just a great card! Thanks for sharing!
