MOM

Ok, so is she not the sweetest Hanglar?I got this image from my blogging friend Tammi and I just love her. I had this beautiful flower soft paper and knew I wanted to use it for a Mother's Day card- so I matched up my copic markers and went to work. I used the nesties deckled edge and then I sponged it before removing the nesties. The decorative piece behind it is one of the nesties pendants in baha breeze, I just love the sweet little setting it made and with another one you could actually use it to frame the entire image! Then I added the little angel charm as a sweet little gift.

Good Day!

This card is one that I made using the Verve weekly sketch along with the color challenge for this week. I chose this color scheme because I thought it was very different and more of a challenge for me because I would typically not use these colors of gray and yellow. Of course, I made it into a Mother's Day card because it is cheerful and fun. If you want to participate in the challenge, check it out on SCS.

Quilted elegance

I know you are saying where is the quilting, the stitching- LOL, I forgot it. Can you believe it? My intentions were to stitch around all the squares and then I got the card together and went, what the heck? This is aother of the cards that I made over the weekend using my BG cardstock and I stuck with the olive and burgunday color scheme. I just love the cleaness of the card and because there are all the layers the card is very sturdy. What do you think?

Roses and more

Hello and happy Monday all! This weekend I spent a fair amount of time working on some cards. I tried to do a couple each time I set out to make one that would utilize my papers and leave me with less scraps. So this sketch I saw on a blog this last week and thought I just had to give it a try in combination with the SCS challenge to make a card like a quilt. The paper is BG and I layered it on olive and burgundy SU cardstock, using vanilla for my image. The ribbon is SU satin pink. The roses, are they not the cutest? Tomorrow I will show you another one I made at the same time, just a little different. Thanks again for stopping in- leave me a comment if you don't mind!

Mother's Day 3

I am back- and yet another Mother's Day card. I have seen a few of these around and just had to give it a try. Now it was not easy.... oh the base was easy but making the little flower garden was a little more of a challeng. It didn't match up exactly but overall I am thrilled with the outcome. The card will open and then you can add a little gift card and a note. This will fit into a standard envelope as well and really doesn't give it much bulk when all pushed together. The flowers were made with the scallop punch and I cut each petal all the way to the center and then put a circle to cover the middle. The swirls are made with a sizzix sizzlet.

Ok, so that is Day 3.......... lets see if I make any more!
