Flower Girl

This is a card I did for the CDAC Embellishment Challenge - you had to use rhinestones and lace and a digital image provided for the challenge or one from the hostesses store.  I used the free image from VN Digital Art and colored her with copics, pink cardstock from Micheals, white cardstock put through the cuttle bug folder, lace from fabricland and rhinestones from my stash.  Keeping the card plain and simple.  A card I will be able to use for one of my grandaughter's birthdays.

Valentine Cards

I don't make or send Valentine Cards myself, even though I had quite a few stamps and paper to do so.

 Last year my grandaughter decided that she would like to make cards for her class, this was early in the evening and she was leaving our house the next day about noon to go home.  I got out valentine papers, stamps, inks, and embellishments.  We decided that a triangular piece of paper on either side of the front of the card, a stamped and coloured image on the other side of the front and some embellishments would work.  On the inside we stamped Happy Valentines Day.  My daughter Cheryl went to bed before Rachel and I had finished working on the cards.  Cheryl was doing some stamping  and Rachel was coloring and putting the embellishments on where we thought they were needed.  We finally finished about 1:30 in the a.m., but we had 28 cards ready to go.

The top pictures are samples of some of the finished cards.  The bottom is Cheryl and Rachel proud of their handiwork from the night before.  I sent most of the stamps and lots of paper and and embellishments home with them.

Black Bear

I have been away from my blog for quite some time.  I have been busy with other things, curling, sewing, and have been trying to get over a sinus infection.  But I am feeling better now and must get back on track.

This is not a very good photo of my card, the glare is caused by the shiny cardstock.  The background is done with alcohol inks. The bear is a rubber stamp from Art Impressions embossed in black.  The tree is a stamp from Stampers Anonymous (Tim Holtz), stamped with Library Green Archival Ink.  The card was for one of my grandsons.
