This is one of the cards we made Wednesday, using the great & effective Technique – Crayon Resist.  We also stamped off to create the faint shells in the background.
Although it was created for a male, it could easily be a female’s card as well.

Cardstock – Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Ballet Blue, Glossy White
Punches – 1 3/8″ Square, 1 1/4″ Square

Until next time, Enjoy!

SSSC64 – Congratulations…..

G’day Stampers,
It has been a couple of days since my last post, but had some great news last Saturday night & as a result this is the card I come up with using the sketch SSSC64 from “The Sweetest Thing” – http://www.kgiron.blogspot.com

Knowing that red was a must and what goes with red, but black & white!  Then not being able to decide between the sets “Embrace Life” or “Eastern Blooms” –  the flower from “Eastern Blooms” winning out in the end, as I just love how the Heat Embossing Technique works on this flower.
I’ve changed the layout of the flowers a little.

Stamp Set – Eastern Blooms, Wonderful Words
