My little (ok, 16 & 13) chickies are off at camp this week, and I miss ’em! I had to make these cards & send them up there so they don’t forget me 🙂
This first one is for my 13-year-old. Her favorite color is green, and her camp team colors are orange and blue. Hence the color combo. I used a brayer to ink the landscape background. (Thanks, Michelle Zindorf, for teaching me this technique, although I don’t do it justice.)
Sets: Blissful Bird, My Friend / Ink: Baja Breeze, Marina Mist, Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight / Cardstock: Certainly Celery, Whisper White / Tools & Accessories: Brayer, Bird Builder Punch, Basic Jewels Rhinestones, Stampin’ Sponges
The next card is for my 16-year-old. Her camp team colors are nice & simple – blue & white – whew! She loves collage and vintage images, so I knew this new “Clockworks” set was perfect for her!
Sets: Clockworks & Trust God / Ink: Pacific Point / Cardstock: Pacific Point & Whisper White / Tools & Accessories: Decorative Label Punch, Basic Jewels Rhinestones, Stampin’ Dimensionals
And this last card is for an extra chickie – my sweet 9-year-old niece who’s also up at camp this week. She is ALL girl – pink, purple, bling, frill, if it’s girlie it’s for her! My photography skills leave a LOT to be desired, so you can’t see all the dimension in the flower. It has 3 layers all separated by Stampin’ Dimensionals, and I curved up the leaves of the Melon Mambo layer with my bone folder.
Sets: Mixed Bunch & Trust God / Ink: Melon Mambo, Rich Razzelberry, Daffodil Delight / Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Rich Razzelberry, Whisper White / Tools & Accessories: Blossom Punch, Decorative Label Punch, 3/4″ Circle Punch, Basic Jewels Rhinestones, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Bone Folder, Sponge Dauber
So, those were my afternoon projects. I hope the girls enjoy opening them up as much as I enjoyed creating them!
Inky Hugs,
