Chit Chat

This card is for a friend of mine that I have not seen too much of this winter as she has been care giver for her mother who has been in and out of the hospital for the last year.  I thought this was the perfect card to make for her because when I did get to see her each time it was only for a few minutes.

This cute digital image which is called Chit Chat is from Ditzi Digi Design coloured with copics.  Blue rhinestones down each side of the image and in a tiny flower at the bottom of the card.  The DP is from DCWV and has a lot of glitter on it which makes it appear to be a lighter colour than it really is. The sentiment is computer generated, and I just used the name of the image and made up the rest .

Bird House Flowers

Well it's been raining here all day to-day.  Did get out to golf on Monday morning just 9 holes, and was sure cold by the last two!  But went into the clubhouse and warmed up over coffee.  Had a good time in spite of the weather.  First game this year.

This is a quick card for a friends birthday.  Bird House image from Digi Stamps for Joy.  The bird is also from Digi Stamps for Joy, I just removed the leaves around it.  Coloured with copics with Stickles on the flowers.  The lattice is from a Martha Stewart punch.  The sentiment is from Nettys Cards and the DP is from my stash.

Butterflies

We have actually had a few days this week, that you didn't mind going outside. The sun was out, warmer, the breeze is still cold but no more snow.  Went to a birthday party tonight for a friend of mine and took this card.  Wish I had checked the pictures that I took a little closer, because they didn't seem to be in focus.
Just checked and the camera is on the setting I usually use, but I did drop it a few weeks ago, so maybe there was some damage or maybe I wasn't holding it very steady.  I always seem to working on something I should have done last week.

The image of the pretty butterflies is from Priscilla Styles, CDAC.  I printed them and then embossed them in gold on Transparency Film. Cut around them and then placed coloured card stock underneath.  I added some lace, some pearls and a sentiment from my stash to the lower part of the card. An popped up the flower that was printed on the top of the DP.  The designer cardstock was all from DCWV.

Had fun at the party with friends I had not seen for quite some time.  The family did all the cooking a beautiful prime rib dinner with all the trimmings and way too much desert!
