Moon Lake

Hi Peeps!
I made a couple cards in the midst of the cold and snow we've been having. They reminded me that spring and summer will come, I must be patient.

I took the idea for these cards from one of my fave stampers - LeAnne at weeinklings blog... you can check her out here www.weeinklings.blogspot.ca

First - I stamped the boat image on white card stock.- cut it out with the circle framelites - colored it with blendabilities.
I cut a piece of the SAB Irresistibly Yours DSP for the inside and used 3 shades of blue to color it ... sort of an ombre effect. I also stamped the boat image and some grunge on the Smokey Slate CS after I had cut and embossed it. Once I finished coloring the image I thought this scene needed some birds in the air so I drew them in. Can you see how the colored image is layered over the SS image? Called Spotlighting technique.

Here is the inside with a big white moon to write the note on! :)

 I used the same set, image, CS, DSP for this second card but I cut the image smaller, angled the curvature on the front, colored the DSP in greens, and did the boat a different color. Because the colored image is smaller more of the underlying image on the SS is showing

Here is the inside - I didn't want the white piece that I will write on to show when the card is closed so I had to angle it as well.

Thank you so much for taking time to stop in here today!

I hope you enjoyed your visit!

Hugs!

Moon Lake Sneak Peek

Hi there stampin' friends!

Are you ready for the big day? I am heading to town to do a couple things for hubby that he hasn't had time to do! I'll be glad when that's over.

On to some Sneak Peeks for you! The set I used here will be available in the Occasions Natalogue that goes live on January 5, 2015. WOW! can you believe it? 2015! It is called Moon Lake and as soon as I saw it I knew it had to be mine. As you know, I love to color and these are such simple images to color. Yesterday I made a set of 3 cards to give to a Hostess friend - we will be having Christmas dinner with a bunch of friends and I wanted something to give to the hostess.

So without further ado - here they are:

I can see using these images for Birthdays, Thank Yous, Just Because, Sympathy....and so on. There are also a couple of sentiments in the set which you will see at some point.

Between now and the New Year I will have a few more sneak peeks for you so you will have to just be faithful in checking back here occasionally.
May you all have a wonderful Christmas time; may His Joy and Peace fill your hearts and homes!

Blessings,
Ruthie
