Friends Card

This "friends" card is really more subtle in color. I had a hard time trying to get the color to show correctly with Adobe Photoshop. It is more of a "shabby chic" style without the vibrant color on the flowers and the green is more subdued also.

This set is from Stampin Up and I used a vanilla twill ribbon with some green ink swiped along the edges of the ribbon. I also stamped the background with a pale pink ink.

I used some Nestabilities and a couple of border punches to finish it up.

Hope you are all doing well. Thanks for checking in!

Cute Little Rabbit in a Basket

Don't you just love rabbits!!?? They are another sure sign of spring and Easter! This cute little guy is from Stampin Up. It is one of my last two swap cards for this go-around. I used quite a few COPIC markers for this card: E11, E15, E17, E25, E31, E33, E35, E47, E71, G000, G05, G09, R32, R35, Y000, RV32, 0 colorless blender. I also used one of my new Nestabilities for the mat.

My last swap card is actually the Wendy Vecchi tulip card below.

I hope that you've enjoyed my swap as much as I have. I'm involved in two cricut classes right now so I won't being doing another swap for a while.

Sunshine On the Hills...

I guess if I named this piece of art it would be "sunshine on the hills".

Swap Topic: Button Card

I had to make this quickly since it's due in California by Friday and it will take at least 4 days to get there from here! I used nesties circles and one oval. I think next time I would just use my scissors so the hills didn't look so pre-formed. Oh well, it still came out sorta cute don't you think?

Have a great week!

Black and White and New Nestabilities

Swap Topic: Black and White

I have a black and white swap coming up with one of my groups and I really wanted to use some of my new nestabilities for my swap. I also needed an anniversary card, so I decided to make two cards with different sentiments.

Just a Little Note and a Valentine...

Swap Topic: Die Cut

Utilizing a die cut somewhere on your card is not too difficult especially when you own a GOB of them! Also, I used gold "Smooch" on the top of the embossing on the background mat.


This adorable squirrel valentine came from Joy and I just had to share her artwork! Thanks for stopping by and for the emails!

Happy **Heart** Day

This year while making these cards, my mind went WAY, WAY back to 7th grade when we would have a Valentine's Day Lunch Box Social. The girls would make a yummy lunch, put the lunch into an oversized shoe box and then decorate the box. The boys would bring a couple of dollars, mostly in coins, and they would bid on the boxes. Now, the boys were not supposed to know which girl decorated which box, but you know how that usually works! **wink** Then they would enjoy the lunch together. And somehow the boy always knew what kind of lunch he was getting....hmmm...wonder how he knew that too??!! Anway it was a lot of fun during lunch hour.

These cards were a lot of fun and all the center hearts are watercolor paper cut with Nesties, watercolored, then doodled and embellished.
Of course, the cute owl was for my friend Joy since she loves to use them in her artwork!

I hope your V-owl-entine's Day is special.
