Make It Monday #286 with Stephanie - Coordinating Card Pairs.

 

First of all, I want to say I am so excited because my BFF is coming today for a week's visit.  We haven't seen each other in person since last summer.  Colleen is up here for her granddaughter, Lilly's  VB tournament.  Yeah can hardly wait!!!

I kind of went to town today on this technique.  I wasn't sure what would look good but decided to try all three of these sets to see which I liked best.  I figured as long as I was embossing, I might as well emboss all at once.

My card for Muse 

  I loved the card that Anita made. I pretty much cased her card but somehow it just didn't turn out as well as I had hoped.

Well, this is not what I started out with this morning.  I made a Faux tile that Julie Ebersole did in a video in an On-Line Class.  I used the backside of a card stock that had been stamped on before and when I finished with my project it showed through because some of the paper came off, so I just wasn't liking it.  And that was the second one I had done.  The first one, I did completely 

wrong.  Oh my, some days are like that.

However, I really love how this turned out.  Using my MISTI to line up this 3 step flower makes it so easy and beautiful.  However, it took me twice to do this one too.  YIKES....

Day 7 - Watercolor - Joni Nina Andaya - Faux Hand Painting

 

My first card for today which I painted this morning and just finished off now, using Joni Nina Andaya's method of painting over stamped image.  This was my third try.  Stamp the solid stamp, then stamped with the lined images and soften with water in re-inkers.  These images are hard for me since I like a more precise stamped image.  But I sort of like this.  Added some splatter and called it good.
