There is a spot on her blog where you can "Search this Blog"

I loved her Alcohol Ink cards so much, that I did just that.

Here is my take on a few of her AMAZING cards.

I have used YUPO and Alcohol Inks.

I'm totally honest to say that I am not as experienced with 

using alcohol inks, so it was a step put of my comfort zone.

 I highly recommend doing it once in awhile, you just might be surprised with your results!!

Here are the cards of Michelle's that are so INSPIRING

 that prompted me to create my designs:

This card is a all time favorite of mine of Michelle's.

Her post is: "Happy Mother's Day to my MUM"

Picket Fence Studios -Wedding Card

Hey there. It’s been a minute since I’ve posted anything creative.

I needed a Wedding card for one of my nieces.

I was able to see it via video.

Great news for these COVID times.

Love prevails.

This is Picket Fence Studios “To the Lovely Couple” paired with Penny Black “Floral Half Border Die”. Inside is the Avery Elle “Confetti Mat” Die.

I made two cards.

One with Color Throwdown Inspired Colors for my stash, the other with more traditional colors.

Color Throwdown #607

Still focusing on healthier me.

Stay safe all!

I have two very sugary sweet confections for you today.

The first is a stacked cupcake card!

To make the "Stacked Cupcake" card:

 Prepare white card base of 4.25 x 5.5. Cut two panels of white card stock 3.75 x 5.5. Die cut the zig zag edger down both sides of the card base. On one panel, apply the Poppin Pink over the Sending Sunshine Stencil. Once dry, sponge distress orange ink over entire panel. On the second panel, line up letters from the 

Bold ABC Die Set spelling upcake, 

running through the die cutting machine, once again adding the c. 

Mask and offset stamp the Calories Schmalories cupcakes in alcohol compatible black ink.

Color cupcakes with alcohol markers and add 

a dusting of fine clear glitter.

Adhere die cut layer over stencil layer, 

and affix to the base card.

The second is another yummy cupcake card with an explosion of sweetness!

To make the "Yum! Cupcake" card:

Prepare white card base of 4.25 x 5.5. Cut a panel of white card stock 4.5 x 3.5. Apply Orange Glow over 

the Whimsy Stamps Honeycomb Drips Stencil.

Mask and ink a cupcake from the Calories Schmalories set to add the candle. Color and cut images.  

Add sentiment onto a .5 x 3.5 in white card stock strip. 

Adhere stencil panel to card base, add sentiment strip with 3 iCraft Dots 1 1/2 glue dots adding cupcake with one glue dot onto the upper portion of the cupcake image to the stencil area. A small liquid glue will affix the bottom portion of the cupcake to the sentiment strip.
