For Queen Susan

My friend Susan is the Queen this week at SCS.  I am so excited for you my friend!

This is Susan's card that I've CASEd.  I sponged the background instead of using that distressing technique, used the sponging as the second layer of the die cut, a different stamp to remind her that Spring is on it's way and a big blue layer.  I probably could have left the bow off, but it's too late now.  It seems to be on there to stay.

If you have a chance, check out Susan's gallery.  You'll have to scroll down a bit to see her cards as all the beautiful cards made in her honor are posted at the top.

To make the frame, I cut a frame from scrap paper using 2 of the Labels dies.  I used some removable adhesive on the back of the frame, laid it on the cardstock diecut and sponged the inside of the frame having the ink heavier on the edges and lightening as I got toward the center.  Leaving the frame in place, I inked the stamp with markers and stamped the design.

Three, Two, One

Three, Two, One is the challenge at Less is More this week.  Here's my card.

Here's the challenge...

This week we have a simple idea for you to use as the focus of your cards.

All that you need to do is to incorporate 3 of something, 2 of something and 1 of something else!

That sounded somewhat like a math problem and I don't like math problems.  But it's called a challenge so I thought I'd give it a stab.

Here I have 

1. One stamp
2. Two colors of ink
3. Three wraps of linen thread

The stamp was colored with markers and I love the watercolor effect it gives.
