Tuesday with Tara {take 442} “Aall” the thanks!

Happy Tuesday!

Today’s card is a little something different for me, I’ve made it with my colorful take on “La Dolce Vita” by Aall & Create!

I stamped & colored the images on white card stock, using Distress Watercolor Pencil Crayons for some fun colors that would match the background I’d made previously (similar to the one I used on this card, except I added some Sparkle Texture Paste stenciled, this one is by Altenew, over it)

I cut my main image & a solid, pearly layer slightly larger from Hero Arts Pointed Arches Nesting Dies.  Since it was straight at the bottom, I stamped some grass along the bottom edge.  They are a fun change from the typical rectangles or circles I tend to default to using!  I trimmed the birds loosely and added them with 3D foam squares, then finished the card using one of the sentiments I demonstrated the enamel technique with on my Facebook Live last week- love how shiny it is!  Finally, I added a scattering of the spring floral mix-ups.  They are super pretty and match so well with this card, I couldn’t resist!

Hope this bit of whimsy makes you smile!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 436} Spring Hares

Happy Tuesday!

I’m celebrating the beginning of spring and Easter is just around the corner… so I wanted to share a card with the adorable ‘Wild Hares‘ set by Lavinia Stamps.  It includes three different small hare silhouettes.  I had in mind to create a scene, but realized I may have to add more Lavinia stamps to my collection first!

I had the idea to do something on a soft, pastel background- which I created with a few colors of Distress Oxide Spray Stains!  I’ve used Cracked Pistachio, Speckled Egg & Saltwater Taffy together, with a bit of Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide stenciled over them.  I sized up the stamps against the Pointed Arch nesting dies by Hero Arts, finding the perfect size to create a banner across a slimline card.

I cut to ‘pendants’ from each different color blend on my background, then stamped a hare on one of each color in Nocturne Versafine Clair Ink for a bold black silhouette.  I embossed on a white background (in two steps since the panel was longer than my embossing folder) and then finished the card off with a variety of embellishments from the Spring Florals Mix Ups set.  It’s super pretty and includes these sweet little blossoms in addition to some pretty gems & sequin bits.

I find slimline cards to be a bit of a struggle to photograph, so I decided to grab some spring decorations for my little photo shoot for this card.  I hope it captures all the whimsy!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Hi Everyone! It’s Susan and I’m here with a card for today’s Random Act of Cardness Challenge. I decided that since today is Earth Day I would make the prompt RECYCLE.

I love to take pieces of cardboard boxes and use them on cards are as covers for notebooks and mini scrapbook albums.

I cut a piece of Moonlit Fog with the largest die in the Lawn Fawn Small Rectangle Die Set and adhered it to a white card base. After removing the top layer from the piece of cardboard I sponged the edges with Icing on the Cake ink from Catherine Pooler Designs then adhered it to the card.

I stamped the Zen Butterfly from Lavinia with Nocturne ink onto some brown paper that was used for packing in an online order I received. I fussy cut the image and adhered it to the card using craft foam under the wings to pop them up but the body and antennas are adhered directly to the card.

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things Beautiful Blessings, embossed with WOW Super Fine White Embossing Powder on Gina K Moonlit Fog card stock that I sponged the edges with Icing on the Cake ink and adhered directly to the card.

I finished the card with some clear gems in my stash.

 

 

Thanks so much for spending some of your day with me.
Take care
Susan
