Three Months To Go!

I'm REALLY hoping we don't have a catastrophic winter storm. I just can't do that three years in a row. So this morning, when I was trying to decide if I should disturb Maddie and get up (she sleeps on me), I realized that it's only 90 days until we are out of the woods. The latest we've had a paralyzing winter storm was February, and that's really not that far off. Since El Nino made for a milder hurricane season, maybe it will bring Texas a much needed break. We can hope. 

So I'm going to manifest that with some spring cards today, and revisit my own recent videos for inspiration.

First up is this beautiful embossing folder, that features a flat heart shape in the center for your sentiment. I used the process in this video for this background.


For this second one, I used the same embossing folder on the foreground and the background, because - can you ever have too many floral patterns? I think not! The swoopy little die is from this set. The colored portion was made with the same process above.


This cute, sort of French feeling die set has a swinging element - the little girl swings back and forth, like my little mariachis. I did it all in blue Distress Oxides and then splattered it with raindrops!


The last one isn't techniquey at all - just a cute layering stencil with the color combo that grabbed me in 2001 and still has a firm grip on me! I used the same swoopy dies as above.


For the last one, I used a regular embossing folder, and the same technique from the first card, but on the FLAT side of the embossed paper, if that makes sense, with yellow ink. 


Hope you have a great weekend, with no crazy weather!

Loveyameanitbye.
