Frosted Designs January kit - Love is in the Air 

Want 2 Scrap -pearls

Quick Quotes Powder Puff  - ink

Approximate symmetry

The use of forms which are similar on either side of a central axis. They may give a feeling of the exactness or equal relationship but are sufficiently varied to prevent visual monotony.

( My circle would be the central axis of my card with the footprints in approximate symmetry. )
========================================================

Jan. 26-Feb. 1 Designer Drafts challenge

I stamped the footprints first and then took my paper to the Cricut to cut out a 2½" hole. Used Ranger Distress paints to color the inside of the circle and then stamped the tent. I stamped the tent on pattern Love paper and paper pieced it together, free hand the sentiment. Inked lightly around the edge of the base.

Frosted Designs - Sketch Challenge

 We are challenging you to use ink, paint and/or mists on your project while using this sketch: 

what fun!! 

So I took the LO sketch and used it to create a card!!
( Love the dark smudgy edge from the Quick Quotes Powder Puff ink! )

This Kaisercraft Stamp - 36 is just too cool with the collage mixture of text and vintage imagery. I love how it layers on top of the large scalloped printed paper.

I stamped the Kaisercraft Stamp - Sheet Music onto the die cut heart.

I LOVE mixing my spray inks to get colors that match my papers, and I cannot believe how easy it is to do with the Inkssentials Mini Misters and the Pipettes...and totally fun! 

After mixing the color up, I sprayed it onto a sheet of paper and then I stamped the Steampunk Sparrow onto it, and filled it in with Sakura Glaze pens.
