I think it would help if I did this more often!!  I just spent the last half an hour posting to what I thought was this blog.  Turns out I posted to my own blog.  Then I had to find the user name and password for this blog, so I could post here.  Oh, well.  I’m learning.  Anyway, I have received three cards from Inky Fingers members in the last couple of months that I wanted to share with everyone.  Here they are along with senders’ names.  Thanks to all.  I really love getting art in the mail.

From Dorothy.  Thanks for the great spring card.  I love the lady bugs.  They are so cute.

From Pam???  I assume it’s Pam because it has so many layers.  I love the blue frame and the perfume image.  What do they call those things?  Atomizers?

Image

From Juliene.  This is a really pretty shade of pink which I didn’t quite capture in the photo.  I love the dots mirroring the shape on the right.

Thanks to Pam and Annette for my swap cards for February.  Here’s Pam’s.  Love the candy hearts, Pam.  Is that one big stamp with lots of hearts or one heart stamped lots of times?  Candy hearts are my favorite!

Here is Annette’s.  We are expecting 6 inches of snow tonight, so her card is particularly timely.  At first, I thought the snowflake border was embossed, but it’s a cool die cut.

This technique is from Vicki Boutin’s new book,  Creative Foundations.  It’s basically a crayon rubbing.   Place a lightweight piece of card stock over a deeply etched, bold rubber stamp (image facing up).  Hold card stock firmly and rub the side of a white crayon over surface of the stamp until a thick layer of wax is applied.  Remove card stock from the stamp.  Use a foam sponge or blending tool to rub ink over image.  Buff excess ink off waxed areas with a paper towel.
