Time for another blog hop. With the lazy days of summer upon us, what better time to get a jump on making some cards for those up-coming occasions. It never hurts to have some miscellaneous cards ready to go. The ladies of TAC are doing just that and have some new ideas to help inspire you.
For my first card, I went with an old technique that is really quite easy, but wows: Versamark Resist. You stamp your image on glossy cardstock with Versamark. For this sample, I used the new Frost Versamark! Next I used one of our Kaleidacolor, multi-color dye pads. Leaving the colors separated, I ran my brayer over it a few times, then brayered the glossy, overlapping the colors slightly to blend them together. I was going for a fall theme and used Autumn Leaves, one of my favorite color combinations. Stamp set: Want to Fly from Spring Serendipity.
This next card is another with a set from Serendipity, Fishy Friends. These guys are just too cute, and I knew I had to have them. Here is a very quick and simple card. I recently got some of the Palette Hybrid cubes. These are great! Love the smoothness of of the color coverage. I used some grey Bazzill from the mono packs and the blue is from Miss Moxie cardstock.
Finally, back to those cows! This is a fun set and that I paired with a greeting from Bookoo Blessings in the new base catalog. This is an older set, but very versatile. I love the variety of fonts that are used.
I hope you enjoy these cards and those from the TAC Demos. Have fun and enjoy hopping from blog to blog.
These are cute! Simple yet sophisticated!! Love them!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration, especially using the new Versamark pad for the resist. I've just put both new pads on my order, never thought they'd work with the resist technique. Whoo hoo!!! Your black & white cow card is adorable. LOVE it! TFS

Great job using the 3 S's. That's the best way to do any card.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! The first one is gorgeous! The cow one reminds me of the kids book where the baby rabbit is trying to outdo his dad on how much he loves him....love it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the cow card--all are great, but I LOVE that one!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! Love it!! I definitely need to make some cards to have on hand. I basically just make cards on-demand but it would be terrific to have some made ahead! Thanks for the inspiration!
