This card is a swinger card; the space ship rocks back and forth. The silver eyelets are backed by sunny yellow cs and filled with liquid glass. I chose not to put a saying on so I can use it for whatever comes up. As a friends little boy is having medical problems it will probably be a get well card, on the other hand he also has birthday coming up, decisions, decisions!

My Hero's! Thank you!

This is my tribute to a military that serves our country everyday! My thanks to all of our GREAT Military Service People!

Glossy (retired), bamboo, black and desert sand cardstock.
Re-inkers: Desert sand, black, olive and new england ivy.
Ink pads: Desert sant and black.

Mini brads, wire, liquid glass.

The desert sand cardstock is sanded.
The camouflage is done by dropping drops of re-inkers over glossy cardstock and then running a brayer over it to "smoosh" the colors together. The dog tags, hummer lights and windows are all liquid glassed. The helmet is stamped with olive ink over the camouflage colors.
Thank you for looking.

Moon Light Owl


I clicked randomly on a picture and here is what I got. The owl and branches are from CTMH "Take Flight" stamp set. The moon is masked and the background is brayered with CTMH Terracotta ink. Cardstock is CTMH buttercup, daisy white, retired naturals, and black. CTMH Retired Rustic Trails paper. Black mini brads, liquid glass and natural hemp. Also used was black and desert sand inkpads. Though hard to see there is a texture on the natural cardstock using desert sand ink and scrunched up aluminum foil. A very fun way to make a background.
