I wanted to somehow highlight the trim on this and through several different trial and error methods I finally came up with this. After I brayered the Manhattan Flower textured impression with Pink Pirouette and ran it through the Big Shot I took the brayer, ran it through the Rose Red ink pad and lightly rolled it over the card so it would only pick up the white embossed area.

I cased this from Michelle Zindorf only I used the smaller oval punch and the flowers are a little different. The shadowing makes the card.

This is my take on Michelle Zindorf;s card today. The minute I saw it I had to try to make it especially because I have this stamp set "Blooming with Love. Shadowing, sponging and brayering are three techniques she uses all the time and I am learning slowly.

No this card isn't perfect but when I was trying to come up with my design for this months card swap this is kind of how it started but I made some changes for the actual swap. I will post it Thursday or maybe Friday depending on how late I get home from our downline meeting.

Another of Michelle Zindorf's cards that I made by following her tutorials. I just love this and believe it or not it was very easy!

TGIF

What a great day today turned out to be.  My husband got us tickets to go see the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Nationals play at Harbor Park in Norfolk this afternoon.  We thought the weather was going to be rainy but it turned into a very warm afternoon.  I even got sunburned!!!  The Orioles won but hometown boy Ryan Zimmerman who plays 3rd base for the Washington Nationals  hit a home run!  Way to go Ryan.  My daughter who is a big Orioles fan drove down from Richmond for the day to go see them and her best friend Beanie went with us.  So tomorrow will be dedicated to stamping.  I've got some new stamps that I haven't play with from the new Stampin Up mini catalog.  I hopefully will have a productive day and will post something by tomorrow evening.
