I Brake For Hydrangeas!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a beautiful floral image with you.

The stamp is called Fleur Hydrangea Collage.

The verse came from the set called Every Day Phrases.

The flowers embellishments are Wild Orchid flowers.

I tried to color it to look like the one in my yard that's about to bloom and I think I came pretty close.  They're such a pretty flower.

I Brake For More Fashionista!!!!

Good morning peeps hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas I know I did......well this is Beth here with a card showcasing one of the newer sheets from IBFS and is called More Fashionista and is a half sheet of stamps.

I went a little Retro with these stamps with the bright colors and chose to do the Warhol technique on my card with a twist instead of stamping each square with one image I did all 3 models.

Hope you like what I did with these fabulous images and will see you next week....have a Happy prosperous New Year.

Hugs

Beth

I Brake For Fuchsia

Hello peeps sorry I was MIA last week was very busy and didn't get a chance to get anything done for my post......today I have a card using the Fuchsia  stamp from IBFS.
I love fuchsia's think they are so pretty but do not have very good luck with them so I will settle for this stamp.

Okay for my card today I used black, purple and white card stock.... image was stamped with black ink and colored with Twinks H2O's, white card stock was embossed with Cuttlebug folder and  border punched with MS border punch, frames scalloped oval and oval Nestabilities.....added a purple ribbon and that will do it for me this week.

Hope you all have a wonderful week and will see you next week.

Hugs

Beth

I Brake For Ghosts!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today, for the second week in a row I'm sharing a holiday card.  Last week however was a Christmas card.

This time it's Halloween!

I love this little ghost.  I think he was one of the very first stamps I ever owned from I Brake For Stamps.  His name is very easy to remember...GHOST.

I know you don't normally think of a ghost as being sweet but I think he is.

Wouldn't you smile if this little guy showed up at your door?

I Brake For Pears

Good Morning Peeps.....how you doing.....today I have a card for you using the Large Pear stamp and Thank You from the Floral's Sheet from IBFS.

on my card today I did a couple of techniques for the first I did the huffing technique on the image....what that entails is coloring the image with markers and than huffing on it to moisten the inks.......next I did the Faux Stitching tech, I punched holes all around the frame and than took a marker and basically followed the dots.

Distressed each layer and inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink from Ranger, used a couple of dies for the label, punch for the banners, and the papers are from Prima's Madeline card stack.

Hope you have enjoyed my post this morning and will see you again next Tues.

I Brake for Lovely Silhouette Bouquets

Good afternoon friends,  Beth here and I am running a little late today with my post.....today I have a Zig-Zag Accordion card for you such a cool design and for my main image I used  the Floral Silhouette Bouquet 
stamp from IBFS.
I just love these Silhouette stamps and how you can double stamp with them to get a shadowy effect which I have done with this particular stamp.

I stamped my image with Crumb Cake ink first than used my stamp-a-ma-jig to offset my image a little and stamped it again using Rich Razzleberry.

Here is a close up of my image so you can see the shadows...this technique I used for the card fold is from Technique Junkies Fancy Folds and Motion CD.
Supplies:

I Brake For Cowboy Boots!

Hello and Happy Saturday everyone!

Today I'm sharing a western themed image with you.

This stamp is called COWBOY BOOTS.

Although my sister's birthday isn't until August I may set this aside for her.  She LOVES the western theme.  I know she'd love these boots and hat.  Inside I used a birthday verse from EVERY DAY PHRASES.

Here's a close up of the fantastic image.

     

I Brake For Babies!

Hello and happy Saturday!

I absolutely love how this card turned out.  I have a co-worker who is pregnant.  We had her shower yesterday and this is the card that I gave her with her gift.  I've used 3 different stamps from I Brake For Stamps.  

The first is the main image and it's called BABY WITH RATTLE.  I love this image because it could be made to look very modern or very vintage.  Whichever you prefer.  I'm a little of both.

The verse is called STARDUST.

Isn't she so sweet?  ("she" could just as easily be a boy too) That verse is so adorable too.

The verse on the inside is called EYES OF A CHILD.

I recently attended a fundraiser for our school district and I bid on and won a basket with a handmade baby blanket, onesie, bib, hat, rattle and books.  They were a neutral green and yellow.  We now know that the woman is having a girl so I tried to make the card girl oriented with the green accents to match the gift.
