Not so sure about this one....

I created this card a while back when I got my new Damask Designs by PTI in the mail. I'm not really liking how this turned out but it was the first time using this set and I know that there are so many other possibilities where this set is concerned. So, I just need to sit down and play more with it!! For this card, I did exclusively use PTI products except for the ribbon. I think what I don't like is that you can't really read the sentiment.....I should have stamped "off" the damask design first and then stamped. Now what I do like about this card is that I used my Nestabilities again to cut and emboss the panel. When I was done embossing, I stippled brown on the panel before removing the template. So it looks like yet another layer!! Here's a close-up of the image to see the embossing and sentiment better!

You've got to be kidding...

This Kansas weather!! Just a couple of days ago, I sent my son to school in shorts and now there's ice, wind, snow, slick roads, etc!! Ughhh....Anyway, I thought today I would get around to posting a card I made while my computer was getting some TLC last weekend.





This card uses a very cute Studio G Cupcake stamp I found at Michael's a couple of weeks ago. I just love how this turned out!! This stamp was just $1 and so fun to color in. I actually got out my SU markers for this one. Yes, I have a set from about 8 years ago and thought "I should use these". He he. The running stamp on the bottom as the background is a PTI set called Around and About Sentiments. Now, I have gotten a little carried away with buying the new EK Success border punches, but who wouldn't?? In this picture, it's hard to tell but it's a tiny diamond punched out along the scallop. I also used some of my nestabilities to cut and emboss the image panels. I'm still getting used to using these but I absolutely LOVE the look it gives. Well, now that my computer is working better, I have a couple of more posts scheduled to reveal some of the other things I've been working on lately. Here's another view of my card.
