Another Cornish Heritage Farms card

Hi Everyone
I originally made this card for yesterdays post, however I felt it was too much like a post I had done about a month ago. So I made a different card for my CHF challenge and decided to show this one today.

For my card, I used SL3145 French Script and I stamped it on the checkered patterned paper. I also used a bicycle and sentiment stamp from set ATC-5008  Bicycle Life.

I love the blue and brown combo, it just looks great together, I think. And don't be afraid to use corrugated pieces from boxes. It just adds great visual interest to your project.

Thanks for stopping back today. See you all soon,

Barbara

Hey, have you checked out the other CHF design team members blogs and looked at their sneak peeks this week so far! (I've listed the whole team below). All I can say is WOW, so much inspiration!!!

• This month, CHF has 17 backgrounders, 3 ATC Sets, 2 individual Rummage Bin Stamps and 3 Rummage Bin Stamp sets being released.

For today's card  I combined a background stamp with that pretty poppy flower, which is a digi. 

The background stamp is a rubber stamp, French Script and I used 2 types of gold card stock, a shiny one and a dull gold. I stamped both gold panels using VersaMark and then used gold detail EP and heat set. I layered these 2 panels and added the poppy flower that is colored with copics and fussy cut.


I was playing around with this black card and the gold mesh and decided that it would be perfect to showcase this pretty poppy on the gold panels.


Stamps used - 
Floral 14 (Poppy) (digi)
It's so Nice - Sentiment (digi)
SL3145 - French Script (rubber background stamp)
Gold Mesh
Cardstocks used- Shiny gold, Dull gold, Black, White

Cornish Heritage Farms

Hi Everyone

I've been itching to tell you all this for a few days and it's official now!!!! The Cornish Heritage Farm Design Team has been finalized and I am so excited and thrilled to have made it as a member of this team. This team is made up of a whole host of talented ladies!!!! I am also really excited that CHF is back and will soon be offering rubber stamps again.

Here are two cards I want to share with you today. These are two of the cards that I submitted to CHF.
The first one is a Thomas Kincade image and I colored this with Marvy Markers. This technique is very easy to do and the results are quite remarkable. The camera really doesn't do this justice. Also this card pic was taken with a green background in order to show off the trellis border of the card.

The second card is really a cutie. It consists of the Flower Wheelbarrow Digital Stamp (it a freebie over at the CHF site, so go download it!!) and since I had some stamp sets on hand from the original CHF days, I used the sentiment and the tree from a Kim Hughs set.

The first blog hop will take place in April and there will be prizes so stay tuned for more info about that in the coming weeks.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and letting me share my exciting news with you.

See you soon,

It's Spring, finally......................

Are you ready for it???? Spring arrives tonight at 7:21 EDT. I think everyone is so ready for warm weather. So, in celebration of the arrival of Spring, I designed 2 cards for your viewing pleasure.

The first card has a flower from the new Zinnia set I just received recently from Crafter's Companion. The set is so cool. Love the flowers and the fairies that are in the set. You may want to check them out. The white sheet utilized  a crimper to get that interesting background.

Pink reminds me of spring. So I thought this card would be a great card to usher spring in. I used a stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms in the Silhouette Blooms I set. (Sadly they are no longer in business.) I love this monochromatic look. The side borders were made using punch #304 from Just Imagine/Kreations. I added an embellishment that I made using embossed metal, covering a large piece similar to a domino that my friend Angie gave me. I added alcohol ink to the metal piece and I attached it with a ribbon. It really adds interest to the card.

Well that is all I have today. Have a great start to spring and thanks for stopping by,
