I had to use purple! I also did not want to use a poinsettia-it was my own personal challenge:) I liked this stamp and it has a flower image and I used, of course, glitter embossing and the gold trim has flower image. This was fun and done in the final day!
This is a victorian style card with a little european flavour. I stuck with pastels except for the green flower with the little putti in the centre. They both are holding some flowers-I am not sure what kind...Edelweis?? Anyway I used silver cardstock and some light lavender too. Of course ending it with the silver trim-love those trims!
OK I finished the week! OK this is my version of the recipe card. You take 1 3x3 card, add a flower, 1 brad, 1 ribbon and a stamped sentiment and bingo! You have a card. Here is my version, hopefully the pot did not overflow with ribbon:) and to everyone who commented in the past and before, your kindness and sweet words have made me feel very humbled and I am deeply touched. A heartfelt thank you to everyone!
Well here is Friday's challenge to create a matching envelope. I made a card more for a child which works since my friend's baby will be one year old on the 29th. I stamped the saying "Thinking of you is a nice thing to do". I also stamped the mouse image and the strawberry. I used tombow markers on the mouse and I used twinkling H20's on the strawberry stamp. I used decal of flowers and hearts and coloured them in with sparkly pens and finished it off with card stock and a green ribbon. I matched the envelope using the decals and the strawberry stamp. Well this time I am done early! It is a beautiful day here in southern Ontario Canada and not so hot as yesterday. A great spring day. Wishing all a wonderful day!
Well this is the next challenge done for 365 day cards. This was where you had to use at least 3 corners so I went whole hog and did the 4. In fact this card is for my niece, Jade, who is such a wonderful girl, um, young lady. She turned 14 on Monday. Even though she is big time into Twilight ( I have no vampire stamps:)) she also loves the arts and is looking forward to going with me again to an art museum. I made 2 views so you can see that some of the card is raised up. I stamped the image and coloured her in with tombow colours with the watercolour technique and I also used a little chalk also on her dress and the background. I then stamped the the flowers in the card and coloured them and then cut them out raised it. I have a corner stamp with the flowers so I also coloured and cut them out. I had decal butterflies, coloured and cut them and raised them up and then I placed some crystals in the flowers and used stickles on the flowers and leaves since it is very hard for me to avoid glitter. It was so much fun to do and I love my niece so very much so it was a pleasure doing this for her. Everyone have a beautiful day because even if it is raining it makes the flowers bloom and the sun lets the colours shine:)
OK Yup I did 2 pics because when I saved them on my photoparades and did a "quickfix" it brought out the colours in the squares (the images) but it washed out the nice lavender paper I used. So the other picture brings out the lavender more. Maybe I am too anal but you be the judge:) I used my 5 squares. I have these 4 stamps that came as a set and I decided to use the perfect pearls on them. I coloured the decals with permanent blue colour. The last square is of course a jewel...nope not real( dang). I am in a birthday month for sure. 2 nieces birthdays just past and my other half (we do know that if he says this he will always say "Better-Half":)), Michael, his birthday is Monday so this card is for him. He is, like me, a lover of blue!
Well I am not a plaid girl so I had to think if I even had plaid and then I remembered the ribbon! So I used the ribbon for my inspiration and I love the saying from Mark Twain because I truly believe in that:). I must be drifting into making manly cards. Anyways here is the 3rd day challenge! Everyone have a beautiful day!
My Cousin Kurt is getting married this weekend to Katherine so I decided to incorporate the 365 day card challenge and we had to use something that is our favourite in marketing (is that right?-memory overload). I love the pergamano and so i used all their products minus the card backing and the decals which i also use often. I also love the cardstock alot because it has a nice glisten to it but I do not know the name of it-sorry:( Enjoy the beautiful day!
I had to use purple! I also did not want to use a poinsettia-it was my own personal challenge:) I liked this stamp and it has a flower image and I used, of course, glitter embossing and the gold trim has flower image. This was fun and done in the final day!

Glitter, glitter, glitter!This was fun and I actually did this in a class but I added the Merry Christmas after cos I thought it was perfect for a flower May motif for the Christmas Cards All year round. To make the glitter background, you use the strong double sided tacky paper and I took an old lace and placed it down. I placed the green glitter down and then I lifted up the lace and placed gold glitter down and it acheived the effect of gold roses. Might be hard to see. I added the rose in the corner for a nice effect and coloured it inwith tombow markers
OK this is My hubby's favourite and he picked this one for his christmas card:) I used the glue pen to adhere the glitter to make this stained glass flower effect. I was glittery all over! I just can't help myself:) I then used the same blue cardstock(can you tell it is one of my favs) and used the gold trim and finished off the corners with crystals
This is the first card-I tried to make it appear like a church window. I used the perfect pearls as a background and stamped the image of the December flower-the Narcissus-twice. I placed it on this great rich blue cardtsock and I used the cuttlebug on the red and finished it off with silver trim.
