A friend is forever

Yet another Hero Arts creation. I'm enjoying my stamps so much. For this one I wanted to do something distressed with a vintage feel so I finally broke out my Zutter Distress it All. I love this new gadget. Distressing is a breeze with it. I used the color layering technique with 2 Hero Arts backgrounds, the flower and stripes. The shimmer you see is on all the roses and was created by applying rock candy stickles. Card base is embossed with distressed stripes and roses. Have a great week end.  We're off to the water park.

The Stuff 

Hero Arts : CG 179,CG118,Cl046

Paper : Soft Suede and Very Vanilla Stampin Up 

ink: Soft Suede

If you had wings.....

what would you be?.. Well I love hummingbirds.. they are so steady when they are eating from a flower or a feeder... I love how their wings flutter. This was my inspiration for this week's card at The Cuttlebug Spot.  I used Quickutz embossing folder titled plants. Stamped some flower images and then embossed. I really like how it turned out after inking. Have a happy Monday.

Grunge Paper bird and cage

This week we were challenged to make vintage themed projects at The Cuttlebug Spot. Well.. I had so many ideas then kids got sick... and ran out of time... so this is my effort for this week. I just received some grunge paper from Glendas Creative Place and some new Tim Holtz inks. I just had to put them to use on this card and hopefully got some vintage going.   I will try to make another "vintage" card this week so look for that later.  In the meantime I hope you enjoy the little birdie and cage.
