Weeklly Challenge at ISC

Anne is our challenge hostess at ISC this week. You should check out her blog, she has a great one. Anyway...........she challenged us to make something with alcohol inks and use our brayer for a background. Well, we could do either one or both. I chose BOTH!!!!

I made a card with my last ATC of 2009 using my alcohol inks. I covered cardstock with aluminum foil, used the Top Note die cut and then embossed it with a CB folder. After all that was done, I used my alcohol inks on it. I really like the result of this technique.

On my second card, I used my evil brayer. I am so clumsy with this tool. I always feel awkward using it. The result was pretty good........for me. TFL!!!

Swap Cards

I also joined a black, white with a splash of color card swap. I used the Branch Out set from SU!! I reallly like the results.........clean and sharp!

More Cards FWith My New Stamps!!!!!

Here are two more cards with my new stamp sets!!! I'm really going to love these sets too!!!! I'm sure I'll be in for more "gotta haves" when the new catty comes out!!!!! EEEEKKKK!!!! The "FRIENDS" one has forever stamped on the inside. The "I'm so glad..." one has we're friends on the inside. You can't see on the pics, in random spots on the images I used a sparkle gel pen to add a little something extra. TFL!!!

Branching Out

This is a card for a friend of a friend who is going thru a really tough time right now. She loves lilacs, but I didn't have a lilac stamp so...........I used lilac colored paper!!!! I also used my new set from SU "Branching Out". It is a pretty neat set. This is a gate fold card to the image and the next two layers open up on the right fold. I tied some shimmery ribbon around it to give it some pizzaz!! TFL!!
