Tie the Knot Tropical Wedding CARD, cQc#182, pp139

Love this stamp set Tropical Party, unfortunately it's retired.  My daughter recently went to a wedding in Hawaii and so I made her a quick Spring Hawaiian Wedding card where I did some brayering and sponging.  Played along with the ColourQ Challenge #182 with their "LOVE" ly color palette: Always Artichoke, Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and The Paper Players Tic TacToe Challenge 139 where I picked a Ribbon,Tag and Spring.

Using Tropical Party I have another version here on my blog. Such a fun card to create.

Spring Break with The Paper Players and my most Exciting News!

Woohoo!! Can I just tell you how excited I was to be asked to be a guest designer on The Paper Players blog this month! This talented group of girls invited me to join them.  Big thanks to Lesley, Ann, Jaydee, LeeAnne and Nance. 

So, the first inspiration challenge of this month is a theme challenge ... Spring has Sprung.  

I made this card for a very nice Hawaiian family who deserve a Surf's Up!  I wanted to create something bold, bright, fun and happy.  I brayered the sky, sponged around the outside of the card and masked in the sunrise.

It's time for a Spring Break!

Happy Retirement Marilyn Ekdahl!

Retirement ... what a lovely word. I'd made this retirement card for my sister Marilyn. She devoted thirty-six years of service to Willit's Unified School District in Northern California ... a double "wow". Their cat name is Marbel (a beauty queen) sitting in the kayak. Marbel's picture was the smallest size I could get. I'm pleased.

Congratualations Marilyn!

Scallop Punch Sunset, CCCC Act 37

Scallop punch sunset. I'm trilled with my creation for Stacey Staffer's Curtain Call Color Challenged Act 37. In July 2008 I'd was lucky to attend one of Michelle Zindorf's brayer technique class. Ever since I've been hooked and really enjoy doing this technique along with sponging. For the sunset I'd added my version of masking a scallop punch instead of from a circle punch and I'd really, really used Barely Banana in the center of the card. When brayering & repeating each layer of the same color ink it gave it more of a orange sherbert ice cream effect.
