I played with my Distress Oxide inkpads to create a blended background. It really muted the image, so I used a piece of acetate in my stamp positioner to stamp it again. (I had stamped the original image weeks before.) I got it pretty close!<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQxuGOtA6Ua6PjCGHyqWzUinHEqT__kOKwkEbpvAM8GVKbZVsLa7yn0gsTDk0KJz_YWsF6yG3IzaQiTOPMo0EQPPUqd3MuGNiqJuOmjOYpJ23mQzKZk5nuJMffzf6cJikSUrdIUFXvdRRRJfJioayUYxlJvHwHnRFn0jjfo3YFo5V_yAPACDB9vFEapaw/s1000/annheidel-BlendedSketchedFlowers1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="689" data-original-width="1000" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQxuGOtA6Ua6PjCGHyqWzUinHEqT__kOKwkEbpvAM8GVKbZVsLa7yn0gsTDk0KJz_YWsF6yG3IzaQiTOPMo0EQPPUqd3MuGNiqJuOmjOYpJ23mQzKZk5nuJMffzf6cJikSUrdIUFXvdRRRJfJioayUYxlJvHwHnRFn0jjfo3YFo5V_yAPACDB9vFEapaw/w400-h275/annheidel-BlendedSketchedFlowers1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p>For the background, I used Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Barn Door, and Black Soot to create that lovely blend.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsQXFlWOH4JlaOBSixjWaqFDPh8du76rArkcd0vZz_beVgPLEoSjnRMUqbrIzoRjr_bcBFrZ28GHTlQjswS9X-DrxCW4ZS8mR48qD6qtoNG0Hz_ZZE1SKgMvqFcQVXcda_-gXoI5qF9wCys2ZLEG2xM7in2YVZxdHe5vDT37mUw4JTGmjyUspobBbO6vM/s1000/annheidel-BlendedSketchedFlowers2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="832" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsQXFlWOH4JlaOBSixjWaqFDPh8du76rArkcd0vZz_beVgPLEoSjnRMUqbrIzoRjr_bcBFrZ28GHTlQjswS9X-DrxCW4ZS8mR48qD6qtoNG0Hz_ZZE1SKgMvqFcQVXcda_-gXoI5qF9wCys2ZLEG2xM7in2YVZxdHe5vDT37mUw4JTGmjyUspobBbO6vM/w333-h400/annheidel-BlendedSketchedFlowers2.jpg" width="333" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggQrw5xmCiArLODdQcKw7iyZiwPK5saIYeXEVhUKj4ut8kq60kTPZOtPai9cgnoaeKCCYotIfMT40IKpbp1eEwRXfhibuvvtWyyYzQ8UNAu-TKUgpoZD4n1EKoVHMJ3fpJrSXwDSOvj8-0SG4CXpmLo2bb_yxxL2qFHkocB7rjpH7obYC9Yo3q4kgRFrk/s1000/annheidel-BlendedSketchedFlowers3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="838" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggQrw5xmCiArLODdQcKw7iyZiwPK5saIYeXEVhUKj4ut8kq60kTPZOtPai9cgnoaeKCCYotIfMT40IKpbp1eEwRXfhibuvvtWyyYzQ8UNAu-TKUgpoZD4n1EKoVHMJ3fpJrSXwDSOvj8-0SG4CXpmLo2bb_yxxL2qFHkocB7rjpH7obYC9Yo3q4kgRFrk/w335-h400/annheidel-BlendedSketchedFlowers3.jpg" width="335" /></a></div><p></p><p>The sentiments are from the All About You stamp set by Simon Says Stamp.

I am posting cards. Yes, really! I haven't done much stamping for an entire year. I've been more involved in theatre and jewelry lately, so while I haven't stopped <i>buying</i> new stamping goodies, I haven't been using them at all. Sad, I know. I've felt creatively blocked for quite a while and it was just easier to do other things. Besides, I have a lot of different hobby interests.</p><p>I popped in on the tail end of a stamping class four weeks ago and got the chance to make these two cards.

There are a few small flaws, because it was my first time trying to do this stitch, but they turned out adorable. I started making them initially several days ago using the supplies I had on hand. That attempt ended in disaster when I could no longer get my needle through the seed beads. Can I just say that thread type matters? Today I started again after getting some One-G thread and this time I succeeded. They are a simple design, but it did take me about 4-1/2 hours to complete the pair.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicYcBqc7ThUeG90kN1GjGIyWS7PYD3erPP6RUqyTUWBJnvbuCycCWQ5_HpLe4GrzLjVZUZxG-YuiAK2E3hSVKax_EXMCD2BEYZ3M5p4gpiP_tZezSayjf18Xd88lKXNTPAU-oYZrJez-t9Ae08eVUZaIotckyBm46dIJcAJz1FNTz1N_BhzQA8LYDY/s1000/annheidel-ghostearrings1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="905" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicYcBqc7ThUeG90kN1GjGIyWS7PYD3erPP6RUqyTUWBJnvbuCycCWQ5_HpLe4GrzLjVZUZxG-YuiAK2E3hSVKax_EXMCD2BEYZ3M5p4gpiP_tZezSayjf18Xd88lKXNTPAU-oYZrJez-t9Ae08eVUZaIotckyBm46dIJcAJz1FNTz1N_BhzQA8LYDY/w363-h400/annheidel-ghostearrings1.jpg" width="363" /></a></div><p></p><p>They are so so cute!

I barely had enough of the tiny seed beads to finish. I think I have just five or six left. Anyway, I still have two kits from those boxes, but they aren't designs I would ever have chosen, so I keep debating whether or not to make them or just save the beads for something else. It would be good practice, at least, and then I could give the completed necklaces as a gift to someone else. One of these days! :)<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCFmcOo3E_Hnhe6Cy013XqSm8NZmcx0Q0GgNpfV9i4bxpkPL3govDgdwyu9gaXXErWUWF56a3sKLZxnWVwVciDEfbHadO8qt4gtdF7RCOsfhVlS_To1lyunCYGTny_JnaTAIPvE5OKC_9Jo2Y-nAStGGJU8Da4Jj0CJwvnIHyngekEe2W2FJhrwHtd/s1000/annheidel-zionnecklace3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="757" data-original-width="1000" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCFmcOo3E_Hnhe6Cy013XqSm8NZmcx0Q0GgNpfV9i4bxpkPL3govDgdwyu9gaXXErWUWF56a3sKLZxnWVwVciDEfbHadO8qt4gtdF7RCOsfhVlS_To1lyunCYGTny_JnaTAIPvE5OKC_9Jo2Y-nAStGGJU8Da4Jj0CJwvnIHyngekEe2W2FJhrwHtd/w400-h303/annheidel-zionnecklace3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Annheidelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00252752877526728814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011109576662950282.post-11472905202373658742022-08-08T16:42:00.001-04:002022-08-08T16:42:24.068-04:00Orange Blossoms Necklace<p>I got this Orange Blossoms Necklace kit in a Best Beads box subscription last year.

I simply stamped the sentiment in Onyx Black ink on white cardstock and layered it on True Black before adding it to a white card base. I cut the controller out of Smokey Shadow cardstock and then glued on the little pieces using various colors of cardstock. I used foam tape to pop it up for dimension.</p><p>I like how it turned out and I think my son will love it. :) <br /></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Stamps: Level Up (My Favorite Things)</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Dies: Game Controller (My Favorite Things)</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Cardstock: White, True Black, Smokey Shadow, Bright Buttercup, Pure Poppy, New Leaf, Hawaiian Shores</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Misc: Onyx Black (VersaFine); foam tape </i></span><br /></div>Annheidelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00252752877526728814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011109576662950282.post-48310420858709441372022-05-23T16:06:00.001-04:002022-05-23T16:06:47.220-04:00Cat Earrings<p>I made these two pair of earrings as a birthday gift for a friend who loves animals and owns several cats.

I bought this kit last fall and finally got around to making them.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi_rwq6jfhl3R1jHG3gHQznacr6PPp52G9xp-gNLjNIbzwVL2AuxoyAkHaMe-ldd0J53-NsjZA0tzc0INS55InN3N5XgKrHBvDJeqLZMnX53q3t9q0CKt4lN5KOYzru_oRfbEUQ42uJyu7KL33wTs0HtBJbLFV0gxKxAHZiQXIt2qdncw-5Wdk8rLX1=s1000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="884" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi_rwq6jfhl3R1jHG3gHQznacr6PPp52G9xp-gNLjNIbzwVL2AuxoyAkHaMe-ldd0J53-NsjZA0tzc0INS55InN3N5XgKrHBvDJeqLZMnX53q3t9q0CKt4lN5KOYzru_oRfbEUQ42uJyu7KL33wTs0HtBJbLFV0gxKxAHZiQXIt2qdncw-5Wdk8rLX1=w354-h400" width="354" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgsDCcOLihAWBMsysFof16AvoKde-l7fD1zB2wcFGfGmePEk1vkKYyKuQFyCFvaLqtCdyEwZ3i8nuBuLw_Wn7SZDur53u-13hVYMm-UqqzReffuEnpshYdAtrT5tvdyxPpc_AqeODb0kEXNyWTdJjqgCNWZHFzWL2MfHkVK76Zne4dc_d82JatnbmHn=s1000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="941" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgsDCcOLihAWBMsysFof16AvoKde-l7fD1zB2wcFGfGmePEk1vkKYyKuQFyCFvaLqtCdyEwZ3i8nuBuLw_Wn7SZDur53u-13hVYMm-UqqzReffuEnpshYdAtrT5tvdyxPpc_AqeODb0kEXNyWTdJjqgCNWZHFzWL2MfHkVK76Zne4dc_d82JatnbmHn=w376-h400" width="376" /></a></div><p></p><p>Aren't they fun?

December was crazy busy and I'm ready for a much calmer month. My daughter Emily helped me make the tags this time, mainly by choosing the cardstock colors and getting me started by die cutting a lot of the pieces. I decided to use the My Monthly Hero kit from Nov 2021 because I thought it would go quickly and I was short on time due to procrastination. Ha! It took about eight hours start to finish. It was fun though!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3CrKhblpSXyD8vy01RubCjbCxGJSRDnXbIOAy9KDhpEWq7g8-BN9ComQFW616bSrD1bErokybWhs5N_6LAgEVQZicEh7O3O9TVT9ieRyOChnc4v9JfLAkFNxqbIR8FhEfSMP7RjQmI9dfYJSnPv2cg1TuNkkS0xn4FBmlNeRspm41pbW4NfxE1lW9=s1000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="685" data-original-width="1000" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3CrKhblpSXyD8vy01RubCjbCxGJSRDnXbIOAy9KDhpEWq7g8-BN9ComQFW616bSrD1bErokybWhs5N_6LAgEVQZicEh7O3O9TVT9ieRyOChnc4v9JfLAkFNxqbIR8FhEfSMP7RjQmI9dfYJSnPv2cg1TuNkkS0xn4FBmlNeRspm41pbW4NfxE1lW9=w400-h274" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p>Aren't those cute? I debated over buying the Nov 2021 Hero Arts monthly kit, but I couldn't resist those adorable dies. I didn't have time to get super creative over choosing stamp sets and designing four different tags this year, so this kit was perfect with the four different characters. As usual, I made four of each tag.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEifCs7LjzfZsYjweYQuaxA8xHgV76coaU6zDa7bDAlYgPaW1e3oHN55M2CbT9wvAeV5nOhrlFJRf5XG501wKu64qbYgybZpham3Sm3wyW1dQ1EP0xQPc8Ta-cfIr7j02vuqh3OG9Jo_5wiGYAnEvj1Bazqm-l-iE1OFbaJ57cayKhOKFrcTmV0fRgjq=s1000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="564" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEifCs7LjzfZsYjweYQuaxA8xHgV76coaU6zDa7bDAlYgPaW1e3oHN55M2CbT9wvAeV5nOhrlFJRf5XG501wKu64qbYgybZpham3Sm3wyW1dQ1EP0xQPc8Ta-cfIr7j02vuqh3OG9Jo_5wiGYAnEvj1Bazqm-l-iE1OFbaJ57cayKhOKFrcTmV0fRgjq=w360-h640" width="360" /></a></div><p></p><p>First up is this cute little elf.

She doesn't join me in the studio very often, so it will be a lovely memory of this past Christmas.<br /></p>Annheidelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00252752877526728814noreply@blogger.com1
