I Brake For Bisters, AGAIN........

{Jane Bosi}
Happy Monday, Brakers!  I'm coming at you from dreary, freezing Wisconsin with some spring hope and garden floral cards!

I'm using Floral Half Sheet A and Floral Half Sheet B on both cards today.  I love these whimsical images!
I also love when a set comes with a sentiment or two!  You'll notice both sheets are full of floral images and sentiment words--such versatility!

It's no lie, I'm a bit addicted to the Bisters!  They are super fun to work with, but do take some experimentation!  It's definitely a color medium that requires you to follow! 

That's all for today!  Thanks for looking and don't forget to be awesome!
TTFN, Jane

I Brake for Two Feathers

Good morning all.....Beth here with a card using 3 different stamps from I Brake For Stamps.....don't know if you have been seeing all the cards out there using feathers but I have been loving them.....my card today was made from some inspiration I got from Pinterest not sure who inspired me as I haven't got a name, but anyhow this is what I came up with.

The 3 stamps used on this project are Two Feathers, word background stamp from Half Sheet 129A, and Remember When from Half Sheet 129B.

Okay now for the details......using frayed burlap I stamped the script on to white card stock using a torn mask made out of copy paper....next I used Memento Black Noir to stamp my feather image off to the side of the script...lastly the sentiment was also stamped with memento....mounted l image layer onto black card stock then onto a white card......added some black flat sided beads just to dress it up a bit......and that does it definitely a CAS.

Hope you have enjoyed my post and will give it a try......till next week have a good one.

Hugs

I Brake For Asian Flowers....

{jane bosi}
Happy Monday, Brakers!  Today I have a floral card to share.  For some reason, I was busy thinking about my niece, Lily, over the weekend.  She was born in China and this wonderful set, Asian Full Sheet, always makes me think of her! 

Not a flower girl, I don't even know what to call these beautiful floral images, but I sure do like them!

I added the flowers to a background technique called Aged Text Boards to create an interesting focal image piece.  After coloring all of the florals with copic markers, I added a few sequins for some shimmer and called it a day!

It's an easy card to make....why not give it a go?

I Brake For Little Girls

Good morning peeps, Beth here with a card and new technique for me it is called Faux Embroidered Quilt from Technique Junkies.....this is such a great way to use your scraps love the old time look of the background.....I chose just to use a sentiment stamp as I didn't want to cover up the quilting.

My stamp is from IBFS and is called Little Girls this was so much fun to make....I used a Cuttlebug folder called Modern Wallpaper.

Not much more to say about it except it is a 4.25 x  5.50 card and I used black and blue card stock for my layers...hope you have enjoyed my post today.

I Brake For Bisters

{jane bosi}

Happy Monday, Brakers!!

Today, I'm bringing you a colorful and texture full project I created using those fabulous Bisters!

I started by masking off the edges of a piece of watercolor paper with low tack tape.  Afterwards, I applied a sprinkling of Red, Yellow and Natural bisters.  To activate the bisters, I spritzed with a generous amount of water. I used a considerable amount of water because I wanted a blended, watercolored effect.  You can control the outcome of your bister art by controlling the application and amount of water you use.  It's fun to play around to see what you can make happen!

I moved the saturated color around a bit by rolling my paper and using a heat gun.  Again, the outcome is influenced by all of these events.  At one point, I removed some of the color with a paper towel and, I didn't like it!  So, I just added more water and rolled the paper around a bit more.

When the piece was completely dry, I stamped the beautiful silhouette garden image from Stamp Half Sheet 138B.  Because I wanted to maintain the clean paper frame, I only removed the low tack tape after stamping the image.  Next, I mounted the art piece on a portion of black cardstock and added a random, sloppy stitch around the border.  I have a little mini Janome machine I keep loaded for stamping projects.  It's a handy little thing and a nice way to add texture to a project.

To complete my card, I added a punched shape with the sentiment, also from the Half Sheet 138B.  It reads: "Friends overlook your broken fence and admire your garden."  What a sweet idea......

That's it for me, friends!

I Brake For Uniqueness!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card that I made for my BFF's son.  He just turned 24 and I just knew that this image and these verses would be perfect for him.  He's a little bit sarcastic and quirky but he is ALL about family!

I Brake For Stamps had just what I had in mind.

I've used ONE IN EVERY CROWD on the front of the card.

On the inside I used TOUCAN WITH BERRY, 

HOLD ONTO EACH OTHER, and 

GOOD EXAMPLE.

I Brake for Happy Bears....

{jane bosi}   Happy Monday, Brakers!

Today, I have a fun little watercolored and stenciled card to share with you!  As most of my projects, this started as a bit of an experiment and some goofin' around.

It's no secret that I love Dylusions ink sprays.  I thought it would be fun to use a few on a water colored type project.  So, I started with some watercolor paper and a stencil!  After adhering the stencil with some temporary adhesive, I added some color using the Dylusions sprays and an aqua brush.  You can see that my application was rather random.....that's what I like about the watercolors---you can barely go wrong!

After the inks dried, I traced the stencil with my copic multiliner.  Later, I added the birthday sentiment frrom Sheet 138B......it scares me a bit that I no longer have to look up the reference on this sheet--I use it so much! 

To pull the whole project together, I stamped, on a separate piece of water color paper, Sweet Teddy.  He's watere colored, also, using distress ink and dylusions ink.  After drying and trimming, I mounted him with some dimensional tape.

I made several things this past weekend, and had them on my table to film....my crafty girl voted the sweet teddy card her favorite.....I do agree!

TTFN, Jane

May Memories Comfort You

Hello and happy Saturday.

Today I'm feeling sad.  Last Saturday a woman I know from one of my DTs lost her son.  Though I know there is no way for me to really comfort her because I can't begin to imagine what she's going through I wanted to send her a card so that she'd know I was thinking of her.

Time and time again I find myself reaching for this verse when I need a sympathy card.  It's not that I don't have others, it's just that I really love this one.

Memories Comfort You

This is the envelope I made to go with it.
