Online Card Classes, Background Check, Day 6

I used Simple Numbers die and the word dies with the Balloons set by Simon Says Stamp on this card.   I added a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins from my recent purchase with them.  I was keeping my husband's October birthday in mind when I was making this one.  I really like how it turned out!

The panel is actually navy blue--don't know if it shows that way in this photo.

Thanks so much for checking out my card!

Online Card Classes, Background Check, Day 6

Here is one of the cards I've made from the last 2 days of creating backgrounds.  This was a Spellbinders embossing folder.  I colored with Distress Inks and Wink of Stella pens in yellow, pink and green.

This was a fun card to make!  Thank you so much for looking!

Online Card Classes, Background Check, Day 5

Here is my take on Jennifer McGuire's lovely colored and embossed background.  Yes, I started out thinking I would imitate the pretty, soft tones like Jennifer's.  

I was done, then I thought let me use my yellow Wink of Stella to add sparkle to the flower centers.  Then I added green Wink of Stella to the leaves and just a touch of the pink Wink of Stella to the flowers.  Poof!  Gone, bye-bye to the soft colors!  Haha!  That's ok because I do like bright happy colors!

I like this photo as it shows the dimension.

I appreciate you looking at my creations!

Online Card Classes, Background Check, Day 4

I really loved all of the techniques from this day.  However, try as I might, I could only come up with ONE background.  I tried many of my dies to substitute for various ones used in the videos and it just didn't work.  You can imagine my happiness when I discovered that Laura Bassen was using THE EXACT die that I have!  Woohoo!!  Lol!

So there you have it.  Thanks for looking :)

Online Card Classes, Background Check, Day 3

Here is another card from the Day 3 inspiration.  I love this background technique and I like how my card turned out.  Yay! :)

I don't know if it shows in the picture, but the pink has a glittered stripe.  I don't really need an excuse to add some sparkle, but that gave me one.  I like how the black glitter looks on the die cut word!

Online Card Classes, Background Check, Day 3

Day 3 is the day the awesome and crazy talented teachers Kristina Werner, Laura Bassen and Jennifer McGuire showed how to use the backgrounds made in Days 1 and 2 classes.

Here is the first card I've made from one of my Day One backgrounds.  I've used the adorable WPlus9 Happy Mail Stamp and die set.

I can think of a few people I'd like to mail this to!  Thank you for looking!

Online Card Classes, Background Check, Day 2

My final background for this day was a totally new one for me.  I had no idea you could use glossy paper in this manner!!  I used a background stamp from Heartfelt Creations called Large Elegant Word.  The leafy background was stamped with an old favorite from Hero Arts.

The blue ink is Hero Arts Neon Blue.  It's just magic to me how this works!!!  LOL!
