This is a birthday card for my friend. I chose pastel colours to create this card. The left side I used distress inks that I sponged on. The right side, I used an old stamp that was embossed with white. I used chalk for the base colour and tombow makers to colour in the flowers. Stickles, fancy scissors, sizzex machine for the butterfly and some glue helped create this card

Really loved making this card. I stamped the lady long time ago on a distress ink background I did. At first I didn't care for her that much but she grew on me and I love the look of an outdoor sculpture covered in moss. I mixed dark blue paint with paste and stenciled the paste on and then added glitter. The other background is done with colour burst. I stamped the background, added the saying and added the flower crystals.

This is minimal for me. I just used the sizzex for the star cutout and the cuddlebug for the embossed backgrounds. I added glitter in the middle, ribbon and the cut out saying...basically just a white and yellow card. I was going to add snowflakes in yellow but yellow snow is just....wrong:)
They sure all turned out great. Sounds like a great weekend was had too, even got in a snore or two. lol yep, yellow snow is just wrong indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt is an art in itself to know how to create and share. The internet makes fun out of giving and spreading so much away for free for everyone to enjoy. Thanks Birgit
ReplyDeleteI really like the minimalist Christmas card - even though I do not want to think of Christmas right now!

ReplyDeleteYour soul is beautiful, Birgit. It shows in your cards. :-)

Beautiful butterfly card. That die cut is one of my favourites and not one
ReplyDeleteI use nearly enough times. Thank you for fluttering into the butterfly garden . Hugs Mrs A.
Wow, you made some beautiful things in between all your visiting!
ReplyDeleteYour cards turned out so beautiful! I have a Silhouette Cameo and have only dabbled in making my own cards, but really I just don't have the vision or talent for it. Glad you were able to catch up with your family too. Sounds like a successful weekend all around.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by today :)
What a lovely CAS Christmas card. Thanks for sharing with us at Winter Wonderland. Good luck. Christine DT x
ReplyDeleteI absolutely ADORE your cards. Maybe that's why I don't make them. There are too many talented people who do. They are all wonderful, and I'm so glad you found time to visit your half sister, see your mom, and snooze, too.
ReplyDeleteI;d have been here sooner, but I had mouse problems. Not the rodent kind, the computer kind.
