You're Lovely card

Here's the latest...It's a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 square using the Baroque Motifs and Amazing to Zany sets from Stampin' Up!. I kept it simple with Basic Black and Whisper White cardstock as well as white embossing powder. Dazzling Diamonds glitter would also look great on this card but I left it off because I wanted to try a more graphic look. Enjoy!

Happy Day card

Happy card for a happy day! :) This card measures 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and uses the Doodle This set and Occasions hostess set. I used the Versamark pad with the swirly stamp for the background, but after I layered the flower and embossed the words in white, I felt it needed more contrast. So I went back over the swirls with a correction pen. My white pen wasn't working, so this was the solution at hand. I added the yellow to highlight the flower, though in the picture it looks a bit like an actual highlighter! Sorry for the lighting problem!

Materials used: Tangerine Tango, Pacific Point, Whisper White cardstock

Versamark pad, Only Orange marker, Yoyo Yellow marker, correction pen and white embossing powder.

Mixed Media Monday Challenge - Fashion

For this challenge, I made a "thrinchie" (3x3 inches), which was the theme for the previous challenge. The background paper uses some paper from a pattern ( I think it's from a nightgown pattern my mother made for me as a child) that I stamped and added this serene lady that I found at a local antique shop. It's a little hard to see, but at the bottom I've embossed "Hemmed with patience". The "hemmed" part got a little lost on the paper unfortunately. I hope you like it! :)

Happy Birthday card

I really like how bright this Bashful Blue paper is. It makes the other colors pop! The torn edge is textured using a really handy tool - my fingernail! :)

Make a Wish card

There are a few birthdays coming up this month, so I started with this card for my brother-in-law. I used the new Sock Monkey set from StampinUp! which I absolutely love. So cute! This little monkey will definetly make an appearance in cards and scrapbook pages down the road.
