Flying Home "Joy"

It's been a couple days, so must be time for another

bird card, made with the Flying Home set (Occasions p 41).

The images is colored with the Stampin' Blends

I took the "YOU" from the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies

(SAB p 17), flipped it and trimmed the "U" to form a "J".
Trust me, this "JOY" adjustment was not my idea,
I saw it done by another SU demonstrator.

I have been off a day all week, so this post is late!

Bubble Over Thank You with Wood Textures

This week, I needed a quick, easy masculine 

thank you card.  Currently, my go-to masculine product line

is the Bubble Over set with coordinating Bottles & Bubbles

Framelits Dies (Occasions p 32).

I had used the Fresh Fig/Sweet Sugarplum color combination

several cards back, and that was good enough for me!

I added a layer of Wood Textures DSP (Annual p 187),

to confirm that masculine vibe.  I really liked the wood

look as part of the bottle label, sealing the masculine feel.   

Celebrate You with Beautiful Day

I haven't messed with Brusho Crystal Colour,

so I grabbed my Beautiful Day set (Occasions p 26),

some watercolor paper and clear embossing powder.

Once the image was embossed, I started sprinkling

Brusho.  I tend to like a lighter background, so went

with the Gamboge, Yellow and Brilliant Red.

After a bit of spritzing, I let the background dry.

I added the two die cuts from the FREE

Celebrate You Thinlits dies (SAB p 17) to 

finish this card.  These die cuts are a wonderful

way to pull a card together!
