Fiery Dragonfly

Hallo,
More playing with glimmer mist and resist technique today.
All the stamps are from Cornish Heritage Farms - 'Fiery Floral' scrapblock and a phrase from 'Friend Centers' and you can find them here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com
I used a bunch of glimmer mist - the first layers were done with - patina, sea foam, juniper and golden terracotta. Then I stamped the scrapblock and embossed with clear powder. The top layer of glimmer mist is 'coffee shop' .
All the glimmer layers are spellbinders cut with my cuttlebug. The vellum layer was syamped with black memento and then torn.
I have been using my CHF stamps alot lately as they are in the middle of 5 weeeks of challenges - this weeks you may have guessed is for resist technique. All for now gotta get running - planning on a little craft time later today - if I can get errands done.
Take Care - Have a great weekend (I work all weekend)

Fiery Resist

Hallo,
Quick prepost for you today - back to work after my vacation!!!!
Another card using clear embossing powder as a resist - this was for the challenges going on over at Cornish Heritage Farms.
All stamps used are from Cornish Heritage Farms and you can find them here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com
I started by stamping the 'victorian leaves ' backrounder with current adarondak ink. Then I stamped and embossed the 'fiery floral' scrapblock with clear embossing powder.
Next I sponged current ink all around the embossed image. It was a little bright for what I wanted so I sponged some weathered wood distress ink over the current and I really liked how that looked. The Serenity Prayer is stamped/embossed with white onto vellum and torm to fir the card. Other embellishments include some old ribbon and a hat pin with a pearl tip (way cheep from 'Ben Franklins'~!!!!). Also added some gold krylon to the edges and layered onto black cardstock - and a couple black rhinestones too.

Fiery Pyramid

Hallo,
I finally got some stampin time today!!!! We got back from our trip to Nebraska on monday evening. We had a great time visiting everyone we could fit into our short week at home. Brothers, Sisters, Nieces, Nephews, Uncles, Aunts and classmates (my DH's).
At my Mom's we spent a bunch of time picking mulberries and making jelly (we helped with the picking and cleaning but my Mom made the jelly), we also helped clean and pit apricots for jelly and beans to can.
I spent a day with my Mom, DD, and Sister doing some shopping in Lincoln, and made a trip to Fremont to a really great scrapbook store that opened there recently called 'Precious Treasures'. I even got to have lunch with my favorite scrapbook guru Vicki :).
We drove in rain most of the day Sunday and about half the day on monday - but we had about 45 minutes of absolute downpour that was kinda crazy.
As my DS said "its raining cats and dogs, cows, pigs, sheep AND the barn!!!"
Yesterday we did laundry (6 loads or so...), cleaned house and then spent some time by the pool -

definatly got used to the slightly cooler weather back in Nebraska!!!!!
This card today was done using several shades of glimmer mist - sea foam, golden terracotta, juniper, and patina for the base coat - embossed the 'Fiery Floral scrapblock' from Cornish Heriatge Farms with clear embossing powder and then sprayed again with coffee shop glimmer mist.
You can find the 'Fiery Floral' scrapblock and a ton of great stamps and supplies here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com
The layering technique is called the pyramid technique from Technique Junkies - www.patstamps.com.
Layers and butterfly all cut with nestabilities in my cuttlebug.

These last couple pics are of the quilt that my Mom helped my DD make while she stayed with her this summer. This is the top and my Mom is going to finish it and quilt it on her quilting machine.

Pastoral Mom

Hallo,
I am preposting most of this week - may have some photos from home later in the week.....(Nebraska that is...)
This is one of the 2 paper pieced projects that I am debating between for submission to the challenges at CHF this week - I will show you the other tomorrow.
Also this is the last in my 'Pastoral Woman' series.
This is done on a piece of mattboard for framing. Her dress is paper pieced and then her hands/apples are pieced on top of the dress. I shaded on the dress some with a light gray copic marker. The rest of the main image is colored with prismacolor pencils.


The main image is layered to purple cardstock, then to a piece of old ribbon (from my garage sale stash), then onto a layer of the same DP that I pieced the dress from, and finally to the mattboard.
Both the main image and the phrase are from Cornish Heriatge Farms and you can find it here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com
All for now - Take Care
