I Brake for Violet Flowers!

Hello from design team member, Heidi!  Did you know that the birth flower for February is the Violet.  They are so pretty, and come in white and yellow, in addition to the traditional blue-violet.  I decided to color this stamp as a cheery yellow violet.  They might be my favorite, and are a pretty rare find in my yard.  

I colored this with alcohol markers.  I put a dot of pink marker in the centers and blended it out with the yellow to get the orangish color.  I then used lots of scraps of patterned paper to finish off my card. 

This stamp can be found in the I Brake for Stamps Store, along with several other violet stamps!

I Brake for Shy Bears!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card with you.

I've used

I can just imagine all the future color combos I can try.

For now...green is my favorite color.

There's an entire collection of Shy Bears over at I Brake for Stamps...

I Brake for Weddings!

Hello from design team member, Heidi!  Since Valentine’s Day just passed, I decided to make a wedding card when all these Love stamps are already out.  I always like to have a Wedding card in the stash.

I first stamped the heart stamp on watercolor paper and heat embossed it with White Detail Embossing powder.  I then used pink watercolor paint over top in a very loose wash.  I die cut out the panel.  Then, I stamped and colored the bells.  I used alcohol markers and some glitter pens to accent the ribbon and the design on the bell.  I popped this up on the card with foam tape.

These stamp are all part of the Wedding Sheet stamp set, available at the I Brake for Stamps store.  I think that this could be altered very easily to be an Anniversary or Valentine card.

I hope you have a great day and have time for stamping today!

Hello everyone!  This is design team member, Heidi, and today I am sharing with you a Valentine card that is my most favorite of this year!

I Brake for Rose Valentines!

Hello from design team member, Heidi!  I hope you are doing well.  Today I would like to share a Valentine I made with a bit of a vintage feel.  

I first stamped the background using June’s Rose stamp in gold ink.  I stamped it several times to fill in the entire panel.  I then sponged Antique Linen distress ink to add a vintage feel.  

I then stamped my sentiment from the Wedding Sheet with hot pink ink onto some light pink kraft cardstock.  I stamped the heart in a very light pink.  I die cut the sentiment, and with the die still in place, traced the inside of the die with gold gel pen.  I also added Wink of Stella outside the gold line.    I stamped a second heart in the hot pink and trimmed it out, for an embellishment.

The stamps I used today can be found in the I Brake for Stamps Store

I Brake for Poppies!

I just got a new set that I was anxious to use.  It's called
HALF SHEET POPPIES. 
The verse is from the full sheet called
EVERY DAY PHRASES.

I used one more flower from the set on the inside along with the sentiment called WITH SYMPATHY.

I fussy cut the poppies and popped the up on dimensional foam.
