My sentiment is from Verve, Making a Statement. I have been having trouble with my Memento inks [blotchy-ness] lately, so I used Distressed inks for the flowers; Festive Berries, and Picked Raspberry. I love the solid stamped image I got.
For my Summer Card Camp 2 homework today, Jennifer showed an awesome technique of making a die cut into an embellishment. I had to try it~
See those leaves? Yep, I die cut it [Cherry Lynn] and embossed it 4 times! It is so fun in real life - almost feels like shiny metal. I adored the layered butterfly that Nichol used and tried that too [Memory Box]. Overall I am thrilled with this card! The sequins weren't planned until I dropped the stamp pad and got black ink on my frame! [I hate that]. Once again, my sentiment is from Verve, Dream Big.
Another productive day!
Thanks for stopping by~
ps - Thank you ALL who commented regarding leaving a blog. You all made me feel much better by the nice things you said about my stamping! I am going to look at the good -- I still have a lot of Followers, Blogloving People, and EM Subscribers. They like my work, and that is a good thing~

Both of your cards are gorgeous. I love the bright colours in your Muse card and the embossing in your card camp card is fantastic - don't you love their online classes!
Both are fabulous cards, Vicki!
Love how you created that bouquet, Vicki! And your "homework" card is stunning! I love this class and will hate to see it end. (As I do all of them ;()
Awesome creations, Miss Lady!! :)
Wow, wow, wow...I'm speechless. Both of these cards are amazing looking. I absolutely love the colors and the clean look of the first card. The second card just blows me away. It's gorgeous...from the circle frame, the butterfly, the leaves, right down to the paper you used. Just fantastic!
I love your take on Tracey's card! Such rich colors and beautiful CAS design (I don't think I will ever get tired of this PTI set)!
Your second card is also gorgeous! I love how your leaves turned out and your butterflies have so much wonderful dimension! Great save with the sequins, too ;-)
Oh - love that bright pink against the red! Great take on this week's Muse - thanks for playing along, Vicki!
Both your cards are gorgeous Vicki, love the bright colors on your card for the muse take!!
So pretty. Love the Rosie Posie.
Beautiful cards, Vicki! Love the designs. Both are so different! Love the CAS up top and the more detailed vintage one. Awesome!
Both your cards are gorgeous and I can't wait to try out that embossing technique - it looks fabulous! Hugs xx
These are gorgeous! And I'm impressed that you embossed the die cut four times, you have more patience than I do!
Super couple of cards. I love your bold blooms on your interpretation of Tracey's card, its really eye-catching :)
fab cards
The ink on the flowers looks fantastic and I thought they were heat embossed. Your boo boo worked in your favor.
Love your cards! I just had trouble with my Distress Ink images & instead went to my Memento pads--funny, you never know what will work.
