Happy Sunday everyone. My girls have been on winter break and my parents came down for a visit, so not too much crafting time this week. I do have a couple of things to share, however. This first card uses a stencil made out of a cover plate as taught in this week's Make it Monday #201. I used the Triangle Cover Plate, and colored my embossing paste with a few drops of Harvest Gold reinker. I was going for a partial look, so was purposefully messy around the edges and did not use the entire cover plate.
I am also linking up at ColourMe #59 and Simon Says Wednesday, where the challenge is to add a little texture.
Don't groan, but I used more paint chips (showing different wood stains) on this next card. I was inspired by this heart, and thought about making something similar using all different types of wood grain. I used a 1 inch square punch and then cut the squares along the diagonal to create 2 right triangles from each square. My sentiment is a die cut word from SSS, layered up 3 times and then covered with Glossy Accents.
I made this last card with my mom--she wanted a card for a friend turning 80, so I used the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #111.
My mom is very short and my oldest daughter is very tall--I love this picture I took of the two of them right before my parents left my house.
That's it for me today.
Thanks for Visiting

ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards love those textured diamonds and I adore your photo, I am just five foot and my son of 17 is now 6ft and just towers over me :)
ReplyDeleteGreat cards as always and I love that sweet picture of your daughter and mom!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, I love your cards, but they've been upstaged by your daughter and your Mum! My eldest is also towering over her Granny now (at 12) and still growing. :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome creations :) I love the bright yellow on ur first card a lot ! You captured a priceless moment in that photo :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect CAS card! I love the texture that the embossing paste adds. It's simple perfection!! Thanks so much for playing with us over at Colour Me...! :) Julia
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of your mom and daughter....love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Joyce! I can’t get over the heart card with the wood paint chips ..... amazing! I like the way you faded the paste on the first card and the card you and your mom made is sweet!
Oh, your daughter is so tall and lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love your cards, Joyce! Your hugs one is so cool -- I love how you used that technique! And that wooden heart is fabulous -- I seriously love it! And your last card is very pretty -- fabulous take on the CTS sketch!
Triangles! They make me so happy. Love your "messy" fun hug card. Great photo of your mom and your daughter.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are all so well done and so creative! I especially like the heart card! Great picture of your Mom and daughter. Believe me, I feel very short when I stand next to my Tall granddaughter...Probably because I am shrinking...smile)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the embossing paste card! I love the yellow color and the partial embossing always gives such a cool look. Your heart with the wood paint chips is such a fabulous design. It would make the best masculine card! Pretty card you made with your mom too. Thanks for sharing the picture of her and your daughter--so sweet!
ReplyDeleteMaybe only three cards Joyce, but they are all fabulous!! LOVE the first one with your embossing paste, it turned out beautifully!! What a cute photo of your mom and daughter too ;)
ReplyDeleteA trio of beauties, Joyce! Love that awesome golden hue on your embossing paste and your woodgrain heart rocks!! Adorable photo of your mom and daughter too - two gorgeous ladies! :)
ReplyDeleteThree great cards, Joyce, but I LOVE the woodgrain heart. The bad thing about having your kids (or grandkids) taller than you is they like to look down and point out your grey hair. ;-)
ReplyDeleteA whole lotta happiness Joyce, love all of your cards--always do!
