Just for fun I thought I'd take part in this blog hop to showcase contributors' favorite cards.
Many of the cards I make are the result of trying new techniques or products, or CASEing cards I like. Here are some of the ones I made during the past year that I liked best:
Playing with gelatos:
Misted distress ink using a stencil as a stamp:
Stenciling, and stenciling with texture paste:
Fun with die cuts, including penguins created for a special call:
Stamping on stamping and stamping on stenciling:
And lastly, a cute little paper-pieced squirrel sitting in a stamped frame. The background was the fun part, where a pattern was heat embossed in clear on a patterned paper background and then distress ink was worked in -- one of the favorite techniques I learned this year.
Adele you have shared a wonderful grouping of cards with different techniques. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year to you.
ReplyDeleteLove the doodle flowers on the text background. You use lots of techniques.
ReplyDeleteWonderful use of techniques. I think the feather card is stunning!
ReplyDeleteOoo - love the penguin cards and the feather! That feather die (if that is what it is) would have been so great at the beginning of the MOPS year...the theme is Be You, Bravely and a feather is our theme item.
ReplyDeleteAll of your cards are gorgeous!! I really love the feather card though!! The combination of the colors is perfect!

ReplyDeleteAdele, I got your comment on my blog asking about the heart stamp I used. I don't know any other way to contact you, but the stamp is the "Scribble Heart" rubber stamp by Stampabilities (a Hobby Lobby brand). You can find more info at this link: http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/scribble-heart-rubber-stamp-585281/. Thank you for your interest, and I hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea,
DeleteI replied to your e-mail with a thank you message before it occurred to me that it's probably a "no reply" link. Here's my message and hope this works:
"Thanks so much for the speedy reply! I've been going crazy trying to track down that stamp -- you know how you get something in your brain and you can't let it go? Hah! We don't have a Hobby Lobby in my area so it never even occurred to me to check them online. I really appreciate the info.
As I said in my comment on your Top 10 post, I really like your work, and I was delighted to learn that you are a fellow OWH contributor.
Thanks again, and I guess I'll "see" you in the upcoming OCC class (love those things!)
Adele"
