Spring florals


HAPPY SPRING!
As I’m making this Card, we are in the middle of a spring blizzard here in Iowa! We know it won’t last long, but it sure is a pain!  
Soon we will have beautiful little flowers like this. I did this as a CAS card with a large rubber stamp, 
in purples and green colored pencils ….Very simple. 








Happy birthday fold


For this challenge, I chose to do a multi fold card. I started with a long card stock in blue I folded The card in thirds I cut the two ends in two triangles and placed fun polka dotted paper on both sides then I created a small flip card out of yellow card stock used one of my favorite fancy dyes to create the background for the sentiment I added three Jen’s to finish it off.

Green Star quilt embossed

This was replicated after a quilt that my grandmother made me and I’ve always loved it! It was done with strips of scrap paper trimming the ends to form the star layered on a Swiss dart embossed paper and then on gold but all done in my favorite color of teal/ green. I used a larger scrap of Teal to make the tail on the bottom and added a special birthday wish with a large enamel dot in the center. I made this card for my sister, who also enjoyed my grandmother‘s quilts.

Paper shelter taking a break


The images by paper shelter ,with these cute kittens! Colored with pencil and used an oval stitched die cut. I started on yellow card stock ( main color) and used a new die cut in green pattered pater (using the skeletons). Added a sentiment as a 3rd layer in red.  Added gems to finish 









 


Teal cross embossed


I often use this card for a sympathy card as it has so many sentiments. I used a teal ink over the embossed area and placed on a teal cardstock. Added 3 tiny teal gems on the top and bottom corners.  Teal is one of my favorite colors.
