More Christmas cards using oxide ink

Click on Pictures to enlarge

I have the link for the tutorial that I used for these cards in my previous post.  These were fun to make and I want to try this technique again...making something other than Christmas cards...  I added a sentiment to all of my cards before I mailed them out.  I just realized that I forgot to retake the pics.

Besides using ranger's oxide ink...I used dies from Impression Obsession, Penny Black, and Memory Box for the frames...

NBUS Card Challenge Number 4 My Second entry

 I've been trying to make more clean and simple cards.  Mainly because I thought that they would be quicker, and also  so I can spend less on postage.   However, this particular Clean and Simple card probably took me as long to make as some of my eight layer cards....smile.   I think my problem is that I have a difficult time making decisions.  I keep adding and taking away things.  

For Darnell's challenges (I so look forward to those...like so many other people)  The challenge is fun!  There is also so much eye candy with looking at all the great cards that people submit to the challenge.

  I usually try to use a NBUS item that has been in my craft room way too long to not be used.  This  card doesn't follow my rule, it's using some NBUS items that are brand new. 

I went to a stamp show yesterday.  (Had a blast!)  and purchased some new stamps and dies from Sweet 'N Sassy stamps.  The above card was made using a stamp called Happy, Happy, and a matching die set  (Happy Day dies)  I also used my new Memory Box dies  Stitched Rectangle Layers.

 The wonderful, talented Darnell's Challenge can be found here...

 The picture above is one of the pics I took at the Our Daily Bread Booth.  This is one of my favorite places to visit at the stamp show.  Would you believe I took just a couple of pictures and my batteries went dead?  So I don't have much else to show from the show.

This is my goodies that I purchased at the show.  I purchased Rubber stamps (Not that I really need any more...smile)  and some dies, envelopes, glue, peel offs, brads, paper napkins, (to try and make some cards with them) and some Gelatos to try. 

Hubby went with me, and I thoroughly enjoyed my day.  So glad he went with me, and I think he enjoyed the day too.  I could have stayed longer...but I thought the longer I would stay the more I would spend...smile.

Striped Butterflies...?

I never saw a "striped" butterfly, but I think they would be pretty.  Or maybe these are more like Patchwork butterflies?...

I'm just happy that I managed to finally make a card.  I feel like any creativity I have...flew away with a butterfly or something.  And why is it...that you don't notice a mistake with your card until you post it...My glue doesn't seem to have held...so it needs fixing when I'm done this post.

A few weeks ago, I was fortunate to win some stencils and dies from Bibiana's site
found here...http://stampingwithbibiana.blogspot.com/
and the card that I have posted here was using one of the dies...I just used the butterfly stencil to trace the butterflies, and then cut them out by hand.  My designer paper is Graphic 45,(cut in strips)  my sentiments are stamped with three different stamp sets..I  know one is SweetNSassy...but not sure what the other two are from.

"Love is like a butterfly.  It goes where it pleases, and it pleases wherever it goes."

Stamp set- Our Daily Bread Designs, As you graduate...
frame is from, Memory box, Twirling Vine frame
Copics used by my husband, Y11, E43, BG07,
BG05, E49, E31, YG67, C3

sky colors, Tim Holtz distress inks, Mustard, Seed, Marmalade, fire brick, tea dye...

My husband informed me that some of the copic colors may be different...because...
I used the wrong image for my card...He colored two for me, he didn't like the first one
(the one I used) So he colored a second one...(My husband is a perfectionist...Smile)
but he tells me I didn't use the better one...and yes, I like the second one better too.
but it was too late, I already had my card done when I realized my mistake...
