Fond Moments

 



What a lovely card using just the flowers of the 'Fond of Autumn' stamp set. I doubled up the flowers to make a pretty spray at the bottom of my sentiment piece. I used the 'Peace on Earth' dies for the sentiment piece. I added Wink of Stella to the flowers to make them shine.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

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!

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!

Mixed Leaves

 



I loved the colors on Laura Milligan's card, so wanted to recreate it for myself. Now, I didn't have her background piece, so found a DSP in Peach Pie that worked. Thanks for your inspiration Laura!
I added a Wink of Stella to the flowers to make them shine.

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!
