Our Craft Lounge - Let Your Dreams Take Flight

Hi Everyone,

The is my last week as Artist for the month of March '12 and I have had so much fun creating the cards for Our Craft Lounge stamps. My last card uses the Love is in the Air stamp set from OCL - love these balloons and the sweet sentiments. I masked the smaller ballon and stamped the larger one behind it and then stamped them separately on a different paper where I colored them with copies, cut them out and then adhered them over the initial stamped images.

Card Ingredients:
Stamps:  Love is in the Air from Our Craft Lounge
Paper: MME dp and white card stock from PTI
Inks: Memento Rich Cocoa, Tuxedo Black, Bahama Blue
Accessories: Dimensionals, ribbon from May Arts, liquid pearls, spellbinders nesties, scallop circle punch from SU! and copics

The clouds were masked with a scalloped circle (from a punch) and then I cut the image out with Spellbinders and matted it onto white card stock. The sides were sponged and then I put some different strips of DP from MME around the image and then added a little ribbon from May Arts. I love this sentiment - "Let your dreams take flight" - so inspiring and so beautiful and I love this font! Underneath the sentiment I added a little scallop layer and finished it up with some liquid pearls around the edges.

I have loved hanging with the OCL girls this month and want to sincerely thank Kendra for letting me play along this month with OCL and to all the lovely ladies for your sweet comments and encouragement! Thank you!!

Happy wishes to all!
Thanks so much for stopping by today,

Love is In the Air - Our Craft Lounge

Good Morning Everyone!

Happy first Monday in March!! Today, I am so super excited today to be this month's guest designer for Our Craft Lounge every monday in the month of March!! Thank you so much to Kendra Weitstock for gifting me with this opportunity! 

I was lucky to meet Kendra at CHA in California last year - she is such a sweetheart and is so supportive, encouraging and positive! I had a lot of fun creating a card with the Love Is In the Air stamp set from OCL - love those balloons and super cute sentiments. I paper pieced the stripes on the balloon with some MME DP and then added some Cotton Candy Sparkly Fluff to the little ruffle around the top of the balloon. I love the different texture that the sparkly fluff gives the card. I stamped the clouds in the stamp set and popped them up - adding some liquid pearls on some of the clouds:

Card Ingredients:

Inks: Memento Bahama blue and Tuxedo Black and copics

Accessories: May Arts ribbon, Spellbinders, sponger, liquid pearls, corner chomper, Cotton Candy Sparkly Fluff, bling and dimensionals.

I made this card for a very special friend of mine who is a dance teacher and put a show on this weekend in our town. She always inspires us to dance from our hearts, to feel the music as we dance, to push beyond our fears that might be holding us back from dancing - she is an amazing teacher and a wonderful friend! I love this sentiment - it is so perfect! I imagine all of us leaping into the air and touching the sky together! 

Thank you again to all the gals at Our Craft Lounge for letting me hang with you this month!

And thank you for stopping by today!

Big hugs,

Sankari
