3 of the cards we made @ ladies Night Out

Teresa designed this soft and pretty sympathy card using the big shot and texture plates along with the sponges to do some distressing.

supplies:
paper: close to cocoa, old olive, really rust
ink: close to cocoa, old olive, really rust
stamps: thoughts & Prayers
tools: big shot, texture plates, scallop oval punch, large oval punch
accessories: sponges

I would call this classy vintage ... this was Jess's take on a simple yet stunning card and we only had to use ONE ink pad! how awesome is that?

tip: stamp medallion on very vanilla, ink edges and then spritz w/ alcohol and crumple up into a ball! yes CRUMPLE(the tighter you squeeze, the more distressed it will be)!!! Then lay flat and smooth out a bit and lightly rub the sponge inked in soft suede over the top again! using alcohol gives you moisture but dries quickly unlike water...

supplies:
paper: soft suede, very vanilla
ink: soft suede
stamps: medallion, teeny tiny wishes
tools: modern label punch, word window punch, paper piercer (for brads) sponges
accessories: silver brads, stampin dimensionals

and this was one of the ones i designed using the new stamp set Awash with flowers! i really like these colors together and i'm finding that this set has endless possibilties!

supplies:
paper: so saffron, rich razzleberry(textured), whisper white, mellow moss(retiring)
ink: rich razzleberry, mellow moss, so saffron
stamps: awash with flowers, well scripted, whimsy JUMBO wheel,itty bitty backgrounds
tools: scallop border punch
accessories: so saffron ribbon

Stay tuned tom for the other 3 cards we made at our ladies night out @ the cafe!
