Hummingbird Moments

Here was a card I made using odds and ends and paper scraps that I had in my "Extras" drawer.  It's fun to stamp that way sometimes.  You don't have a plan, but you put things together to see what you can come up with.  Stamping the the Heart Grass onto decorator paper adds a different twist.  Then I cut another decorator paper to fit in the scored border I made with the ScorBuddy.  I have lots of little bird cut with the Mini Birds die and then when I need a small bird, I pick one that I want to use, then stamp it with the image I like from the Mini Birds stamp set.  The fancy tag is made using a Cheery Lynn die and I stamped the sentiment from the Four Seasons stamp set.  Finally I added some sequins to the card to finish it.  Check out more beautiful cards on the PPRS Blog!

Spring is here and with Spring is the promise of new life and hope.  Today, I am using the Sleepy Time Baby stamp from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  I cut out the image with an oval die and sponged the opening with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink.  Then I popped it over a doily that I cut out with the Cheery Lynn die.  I inked up the "Baby" part of the the Makes love stronger sentiment...also a stamp from Prickley Pear.  Then I cut out two of the flowers from the PPRS Poinsettia Leaves die along with corners to add embellishments to the card.  I then added two sequins and a Candi to the flower center to finish it off.  More great cards on the PPRS blog, so be sure to check them out!  Happy Spring!

Luck O' the Irish

St. Patty's Day is just around the corner and I decided to make a card to celebrate the Irish Holiday!  I am using the Lucky Horseshoe stamp from Prickley Pear.  I colored it with Copic Markers and drew black lines and dots around the paper for an extra layer.  Then I used some Shamrock paper to bring out more of the festive, Irish feel.  Finally, I stamped the Luck O' the Irish sentiment onto white card stock, then cut it out with a banner die.  I used the  Shabby Shutters Distress ink to add color to the banner.  Follow us on the PPRS Blog to get new ideas every Monday!  Feels like Spring is on it's way so...Enjoy!

Today I am using the Fishing on a Pier Silhouette stamp from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  I stamped it with VersaFina Onyx Black ink.  I like to use the VersaFine ink for solid image stamps for a more bold image.  Then I used the removable scotch tape around the edges and then sponged using the Stormy Sky Distress Ink.  Once I finished sponging the image, I removed the tape.  Then Color the water with Copic Markers.  The Jumping Bass was stamped onto another piece of white card stock and colored with Copics.  Then I cut out the fish and popped it up at the end of the line.  I found a piece of wood print paper and stamped the Come Early sentiment on it.  Finally I added the hinge to the barn board that I cut with the Cheery Lynn Die.  Find more inspiration on the PPRS blog too!
