Ink Blowing Technique Take Two

As promised here is the other card I created using the ink blowing technique. 

I used the challenge over at Catherine & Cathy Create to choose my color scheme.

This was one of the many cards I donated to the Ronald McDonald House during our Fall Stampin' Up Canada Conference. I hope it makes someone smile!

For the butterflies I stamped on coloured card stock in my versa mark and then embossed with Basic Black Embossing Powder and then punched them out with the Bitty Butterfly punch.

Wahoo My Paper Pumpkin Kit Part 2

As I mentioned on Monday These are the second set of cards I created using my October My Paper Pumpkin Kit. 

I love to take the supplies they give us and cut all the cards in half. Cutting a 1/4" off the top and side of the card gives you a nice frame to mount on a 4-1/4"X5-1/2" piece of card stock. This makes the kit stretch a lot further. 

My cards below are fairly similar. First I started by putting the Washi tape directly onto the brown paper. I didn't think the tape looked quite right.

So for my next card I put the tape on a strip of whisper white card stock and then adhered it to my card. Looking better.

Also for this card, I ran out of the white file folders from the kit. So, I figured out how to replicate it using the Envelope Punch Board. On monday I will give you a photo tutorial on how to make the folder. It really is quite simple.

For my next card I wanted to see what it would like if the washi tape had a border on the left and right side. I was happy with it but still liked the card above better. 

In an attempt to make a masculine card I got rid of the butterflies and added some twine and a button from the kit. What do you think, masculine enough?

Thank You Card - Mojo Monday 325

Things have certainly gotten better with my parents. I was able to talk to them for a few minutes on the phone yesterday. It turns out my dad has a cold and my mom has the flu. They are slowly starting to get better and we have made a date to get together on Sunday to have our Christmas. I hope they continue to get better.

The card I have to show you today was inspired by the sketch over at Mojo Monday. I liked their sketch and I REALLY liked how my card turned out!!! 

I hope you all have a great weekend! 

I even decorated the inside of my card a little!!!
