You should have came from the oh so awesome Donna Idlet's blog

So up first today Is Melanie's New set, Perfect Pallet

And here is what I did with this card for today:

I made a hanging sign like, or tired, lol!  I roughed up the edges to make the wood look more 'real and then just used jump rings  to attach each piece that I cut out.  This was super quick card!  I have so many ideas in my head for this set, lol!  Not enough time in the day!  Ive combined it with several other sets too, but will how the next set first, which issssssssss................








Lisa Hetrick's new set, Your Wings

  And here is a card I made with this:

For this card I used the leave elements to create the butterfly wings!  how fun is that?  Inks are the distress oxide inks and the new Gina K. Designs Amalgam ink Obsidian  which is the blackest black i have ever used!  I am so in love with it!  That sentiment on vellum?  stamped ONCE with it and then i poured clear embossing powder over it to heat set.  LOVE!  Most black look like translucent almost.  Here is one I made with this set again:

For this one, I watercolored on some papers, just throwing colors around is all I was doing and tehn after it dried I samped the butterfly.  I cut it out and popped it up.  I also made the background and used the new Funky Flourish Stencil

Ok, now here are a card that  I have combined using these sets:

I used Picket Fence distress oxide ink to stamp the 'board' first then using gathered twigs oxide ink for the lines.  I used the brown paper, like recycled paper to first stamp on.  I LOVE how this turned out!  Then the other inks are our brand spanking new Neon Inks

These are available in set of 8 or individually in its regular size.

Last but not lease by far we have Beth Saliaka's new set Beautiful Balloons  and it has a little matching die! yay!  :D  Beautiful Balloons Die

  Most of my friends are at the 'over the hill' age so I made a card for that!  black and silver and white!  I heat embossed the balloons in silver and black so they would be all shiny like a real balloon.  Added some staples for accents, you know, like us old ones need staples to hold us together sometimes, hahaha!  And I also made a long skinny card!  I showed this on our FB group.  It fits in a business size envelope.  Make them think they are getting a bill and surprise!  its a beautiful card! haha!

I just sponged the clouds by using a cloud die cut ive had for ages, also the hills and grass and the little clouds were die cuts too.  This is Billy's favorite!


Ok! Well, Im it! That last on the hop!  I sure hope we have inspired you in some way today!  You can always email me and show me what you create if I have inspired you in any way!  :D   Dont forget!  come on back by tomorrow too!!  See ya then!!
