Sheryl Schmidt Artistry

I create cards very seldom. I just don't enjoy designing them. I don't know why. :) There are 3 photos of this card. I wanted to show how much dimension and texture was on it. I began by stamping the swirls with black archival ink. Then I stamped the butterfly 3 times. Once on the card base and twice on white card stock using Adirondack dye ink. I applied Rock Candy Distress crackle paint the the 2 stamps on the card stock. As you can see from the photo the ink did bleed a little. After the paint was dry I cut the butterflies out and pop dotted one over the butterfly that had been stamped on the card base. I then cut the second butterfly in half and pop dotted the only the top half on to the card. A little Stickles on the antennae and it was finished.

I made this card using Tim Holtz's technique from the 12 Days of Tags he did last Christmas. The stamp is from Impression Obsession. All the embellies are from Tim Holtz.

Kayne had a birthday party to go to this weekend so I whipped up a quick card using scraps off my table. I used wire coils under the rocket ships to give them a little bit of a bobble head effect, I saw this done here . Quick and cute.

This is the card I made for Ray for Father's Day. It's fun and cute and according to the kids it looks just like his jacket.
