Triple Treat for March

There were three card kits this month for our card-making session.  We missed Carol who had a dental problem before the impending blizzard.  Here is a sampling of the cards we made.

We started off with Sue's kit. Everyone loved her design.

The technique was also new to us.  We stamped the image in white ink.

Then we colored the details with waxy colored pencils in two or three tones.

We made some short, strong strokes of white for highlights

and finished off with dots of a white gel pen.

Voila!  Tres bien.

Next we worked on Bonnie's kit, another design that spotlighted black.

This time the coloring was in the negative spaces after

heat embossing the tree image.

We used some daubers and sponges 

to make a sunrise--or sunset.

The third kit, my design, did not showcase black.

I must have been too focused on Spring despite the advancing blizzard.

I had a new fern stencil found in Florida recently

and a newly purchased dragonfly die cut.

We started by stamping the card cover with a very faint script image.

Next came the fun of choosing one of four fern styles

and sponging with several greens.

The sentiment shape is a slider on the iridescent ribbon.

We finished off the dragonfly with Wink of Stella shimmer

and some pearl eyes.

The basket is now filled with lovely cards for several occasions

and we cardcrafters learned some new techniques.

And, yes, we had some fun too.

A triple treat!
