Yearly Daffodils

 

Such a cute card made by Gloria Plunkett... I knew I needed one of my own. I used what I had to create a card that was similar to Gloria's. Thanks Gloria for your vision!

I added a Wink of Stella to the flowers to make them shine.

Skating Birthday

 

My niece, Eleanor, will be having a roller skating party at the nearby skating rink. FUN! I wanted to create a birthday card that showcased that (as she keeps all her cards each year!). I found this graphic online thru FreePix (free clip art). Perfect for our girl!

I printed it out on white cardstock and finished it off using the supplies I had. The DSP (Designer Series Paper) is a retired one, but worked perfectly for the look I was going for. I added a bow to tie it all together!

Sincere Hugs

 

I really liked the way Mikaela used the die set here and colored in the background piece to make it pop. I decided to use Timid Tiger and Granny Apple Green. Thanks for your inspiration Mikaela!

Many Hearts

 

When I saw Jay Soriano's card... I just knew I had to create one for myself. So elegantly beautiful! I chose to add a sentiment to the middle instead of the flower that Jay had. I also changed the background to an embossed one to give it more texture. Thanks Jay for your lovely card... it inspired mine!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Simply Timid

 

My first card using the new 'Simply Beautiful' stamp set from Stampin' Up!. I wanted a softer flower look, so used the colors of the flowers and leaves instead of using Memento ink. Thus, creating a more watercolor effect on the flowers. I did add 'Wink of Stella' on the flowers to make them shine. This photo does not showcase the sparkle that 'in person' does (sorry).

Stone Arrangements

 

I loved Stampin' Up!'s card that they made, so wanted to create one of my own. Although, I didn't want the base of the card to be black, so I changed it to Granny Apple Green (to go along with the leaves). I also added a 'Wink of Stella' to the flowers to make them shine.

Thanks Stampin' Up!

Elegant Bloom

 

I fell in love with Linda Bauwin's card using the 'Corner in Bloom' stamp set. She created a frame with the flower stamps in opposite corners, but added a dash-dot line to create the faux frame. She also colored in the frame to emphasize the frame. So Cool! Thanks Linda for your inspiration!

Right Scenes

 

A winter scene for my nephew. The 'Winter Scenes' stamp set is perfect for masculine winter cards. The images don't really require any coloring, but I added a slight touch of color to the images. I also used 'Wink of Stella' on the trees, snowman and the lake.

I received inspiration from Carol Schuster's card. Thanks Carol!
