third card for stamp club

here is my last valentine's day card.... i love this little truck!!! i am going to use him on one card a month for stamp club - so at the end of the year they will have 12 different cards using the same stamp set!!! on this card i used a new tool my BFF sent me to try out - it's a color spritzer?? i think that's what it's called - but anyways you stick your marker in it and it blows ink on your card - you can see the specks everywhere..... i went a little nuts because i was having sooo much fun!!! haha!!!

here's a card i have been playing around with today for my stamp club.... it uses some new paper that i just got! and im loving it!!!! it's called bali breeze.... loving the color combo!

valentine's day card

here is my first card for this month's stamp club!! i tried out this really cool new technique where i put chalk onto black cardstock and then rolled a wheel stamped in versamark over top of the chalk and it picked the chalk right up - so you can see the black image!!! it was soo fun to do!!!! what do you think??
