    Nature Silhouettes

    Brayered the glossy cardstock with turquoise and blue, black StazOn for tree and brown StazOn for deer.
     I cut another deer out of Chocolate Chip and layered it on top. Bordering Blue stamped in same ink with
    Chocolate sentiment. Twill background and All Scallops also used.

    Nature Silhouettes Halloween

    It was fun transforming the Nature Silhouettes tree image into a
    Halloween scene. The characters are slightly big for the image but
    I think this is what makes it fun. I used the tree from Nature Silhouette
    with the characters from Batty For You. Ghostly Greetings paper along
    with Lavender Lace and Perfect Plum. Image was on Glossy White and
    colored with markers and sponging for sky.

    Heaven & Nature

    This is for today's Inspiration challenge. I chose room #217 King's Forest found here:
    http://www.hotelfox.dk/

    I used the retired SU Heaven & Nature angel colored in Copic markers, Dazzling Diamonds
    to halo and wings. Background is Little Pieces, Snowflake Spot in Blush on Cameo Coral with
    Basic Grey Flourished Edges (from Jacksonbelle's store) stamped in Riding Hood Red.

    Eastern Influences

    For a softer look I chose Pink Pirouette cardstock paired with
    an older retired SU designer paper (can't remember name), Going
    Gray, and Whisper White. Added blue buttons and taffeta ribbon.

    Parisian Summer paper

    The Parisian Summer designer paper is all so beautiful, this is one where I
    loved all of the designs in the pack. I got a little carried away with the punched flowers...
    I used Prismacolor pencils to color image, Parisian Summer paper with Close to Cocoa,
    Pink Pirouette, and Whisper White, Pink Bead Duos, and pink gingham ribbon, Three For You punch.

    grosgrain ribbon, linen thread, and Naturals buttons.

    Glitter Window Dressing

    I used the 1 3/8" circle and the scallop punch to create the windows,
    backed them with packing tape and adhered the Dazzling Diamonds to the "window".
    Punch Pals stamp set also used along with Bashful Blue striped grosgrain ribbon.

    Baroque Motifs Holiday Treasures

    Faux embossing gives this a nice feeling of depth to the image. I stamped
    the Baroque Motifs swirl in Whisper White craft ink onto the Riding Hood Red
    cardstock and then lined it up with the Stamp-a-majig and stamped it again in
    Riding Hood Red ink. Holiday Treasures designer paper was cut out with detail
    scissors for corner image.

    Upsy Daisy

    I lost my marbles!
    Most of the time spent on this card was searching my son's playroom for some
    marbles to use on this technique. For the rolling I used Baja Breeze and Pacific
    Point re-inkers and then brayered it in Bashful Blue. Image was embossed in black.
    Sanded b.g. on Bashful Blue, backed on Pacific Point. New scallop edge punch used
    for border and Pretties Kit pearls down the side. Punches for sentiment were large
    oval and 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" circle.

    The new Kiwi Kiss ribbon is a must have on your next order. It is so
    smooth and luscious and ties beautifully.
    This was for a friendly dare by Joan Ervin to create a one layer card. That
    can be a lot harder than it sounds. I used Whisper White for the base and
    black StazOn ink so I could use markers without having runs and "schmears".
    Pretty In Pink, Cocoa, Celery, Olive SU markers, Chinese character and bottom
    border from All Scallops were clear embossed.
