A Variety of Techniques

Like the the title indicates, I used a variety of techniques on this card.  I used several different colors of Distress Oxides on the background, spritzed it with water, let it dry and added more Oxides to a few spots for added pop.  The next layer I smooshed an ink pad on bubble wrap for a cool affect.  The 3rd layer I ran through an embossing folder in my Big Shot.  The main image and sentiment were heat embossed.  The sketch is Mojo Monday 518

Butterfly Thankfulness

In my craft room I have a box of images that I stamped, colored, punched, or whatever that I have not mounted on a card or other paper craft.  The butterfly image in this card is one of them.  I colored this image about 4 years ago with water color crayons.  Today I spritz the image with a little Smooch spray.  The sketch is the current Deconstructed Sketch #59.  The flowers I made from punches.

Hope

This card is a combination SCS Inspiration Challenge 187 and SCS Sketch Chalenge 235. I found the verse in my sister's stash and it fit perfectly in the sketch. I learned that one of my fellow Graduate Nurse's has already taken the NCLEX and passed! I am so excited for her and I feel a little calmer to know that someone who took the same classes with same instructors as I did was successful.

Silhouette Thank You part 2

One thing that I am loving about blogger is that I can set my posts to appear at a later date. I will be swamped with nursing school projects for the next few weeks so I can now put up several cards and set them to appear for future dates.

This card is another one of the 7 that I made to send to the interview panel members from my interview on February 10th. It is very similar to the first thank you card of the group that I posted.

Autumn Silhouette

So I had this idea for a card whirling around in my head for about a week now and once I saw the Color Throw Down picks for Week 20 here, I had to get this card out of my head! It didn't take me too long to make so my study schedule wasn't interrupted too much
