Feminine Version of Monday's Card

I you check back on Monday's post you will see the same design for the card.  This time I made a feminine version of the card.  I am making a group of these cards for a demo I am doing and wanted to show how different the same sketch could look by just changing up the colors and elements.

This is a Stampendous Stamp.  It will go in my next Operation Write Home Box.

I think I goofed up my next card with this design but I will keep it and show how sometimes things go wrong.  Maybe when I am done - it will look OK.  Maybe I will do some distressing, etc and make it kinda shabby.  Come back tomorrow and check it out.

Studio Calico Card Class - You've Got Mail

I am taking an online card class at Studio Calico called  - You've Got Mail.  It is a month long class - the cost was only $29 and you got an acrylic stamp set.  I just got my stamp set so I had to use it - plus I recently had purchased some of their mists and when I looked in my drawer - I found a mask from Studio Calico also.  The pink floral paper is made using the mists and mask.  I misted the same paper for the sentiment so the color would match.  The sentiment is from the stamp set.

The paper is a Studio Calico 6 x 6 pad.  I decided I wanted to also try the splatter technique with the mists - I am not sure I like it.  This morning I touched the lower left corner and the dot smeared - it had not dryed overnight (maybe a little too much) - but luckily since it was a block of white - I found a piece of the same white I had practiced the splatter on so but it to fit and placed it there - smear solved.

I had created a rectangle with the mist and mask but did not like it as a rectangle so decided to cut a couple circles.  I then added the strips of paper along the right side of the card front.  The teal stripe is washi tape that I placed on paper and then added to my card.

Since I used washi tape I am entering it in the Moxi Fab challenge to use washi tape.  They are featuring their new issue - Card Creations - I have bought the magazine but put it away for my vacation - something for me to drool over on the plane.

Everyone enjoy what is left of your Tuesday.

Virtual Card Making Party Cards

Over the week end Operation Write Home - Stars and Stamp blog - hosted a virtual card party with different hostesses.  I have tried to play along with a few of the challenges.  This card covers two of the challenges.

The first challenge is for "things with wings".  This cute little birdie is from Whipper Snapper Designs.

The second challenge is "to use washi tape".  You know I had to have some - it is popular - so I had to buy it but of course I never used it - thank you for helping me break it out.  I put the washi tape on cardstock and then cut the strip out so it has little strength to it.  I liked using the 4 different tapes on the card.  I have enough tape on cardstock for another card - so I really should design another one.

My next box for Operation Write Home is getting ready to go - hopefully it will go in the mail this week.
