Watercolor Tulip

I woke up really, really early last Sunday and went to play in my stamping room. For some reason, I went for my watercolors. Not very smart, though, that I didn't use watercolor paper, but instead used mixed media paper. Oh well. Maybe next time! At any rate, I played around a little bit with leaves, then decided to add a flower. Then I decided to make it into a card instead of tossing it in the trash. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. I used Nestabilities for the ovals. The background paper is from Die Cuts With a View.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Cheery Birthday

A cheery card made on a very gray, rainy day. The image stamp is from Inkadinkado. I colored it lightly with Copic markers. The sentiment is my last sticker from Mrs. Grossman's. The patterned paper is from BoBunny. I added thin black strips along the edges of the white panel.

I am entering this card into the Double "D" challenge, which is to use flowers.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

May Calendar Page

My calendar page for May. The stamped flowers are from Image Tree and I colored them with Copic markers. The patterned paper is from a very old matstack from Recollections. I really like using it on my calendar pages because it's paper and therefore thin so my page still fits in my calendar holder.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Enjoy Your Day

More Card Parts. The flowers have been in my parts for many years. I THINK they were done with dies from My Favorite Things. The sentiment is from MFT also. The left panel was done with an embossing folder from Gina K. I rubbed an ink pad over it after embossing. It was also in my card parts.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Spirelli - and More Card Parts

Cheryl has been doing some Spirelli lately, and I keep thinking I would like to do a little bit, also. I finally remembered! I used a large punch to make the scalloped circle and then I used variegated thread to do the Spirelli on it. The rose and leaves were from my card parts, as was the sentiment. The rose and the sentiment panel are mounted on foam squares.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

An Everlasting Love

This card uses a die that I got from my friend in March. I think I only have one unused item/set that I received from her. I decided to make three of these cards, like I had told myself to do last year, but have forgotten about! Then I can keep one and give the other two away - to my church and to the thrift store that Cheryl donates to (and volunteers at!)

The die is from Impression Obsession, the sentiment is from The Paper Company and the embossing was done with a folder from Darice. As I think you can tell from the photos, the background cardstocks are metallic and the sentiment is white heat embossed. I also scored the lines with my Scor-Pal.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Thinking of You in Pink

This is a real "Gina K" card. The flower and leaves were made from a Gina K set I got from my friend, but they came with the set - already done. :-) The flower is mounted on foam squares. I used Nestability dies for the ovals. The sentiment stamp is also from Gina K. The background is from my new cardstock matstack from Michael's.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Punched Border

This punched border was in my card parts with the ribbon already threaded through it. I added it to a piece of ivory cardstock and placed it on a green card base that I've around for several years. I embossed the sentiment with gold powder.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Sew Lovely

These stamped images were from my card parts, also. I'm pretty sure they are from Altenew. I got the stamp set last summer and stamped these out and never did anything with them. Last week I fussy-cut them out and put them on a card. The two orange/red flowers are popped up on foam squares, as is the sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

A Note to Say Hello

I spent much of Thursday afternoon of last week in my stamping room, and it was great! I used up more card parts. These two foiled pieces were some of them. I matted them and popped the sentiment panel up on foam squares. I added the butterfly sticker. The background is from a matstack I just got at Michaels because I couldn't resist the sale. LOL!
