Happy Birthday (Zinnias)

I have another gorgeous card to show you. 

These are the prettiest Zinnias. I colored them with a Tombow Marker. I think they turned out so pretty. 

The stamp set is from Flourishes. 

Here is another stamp that is in the same set. I like this one also, but a lot more coloring to it. They are in a Ginger Jar, the lid wouldn't fit on the circle, so I cut it away. 

Below is a picture of my sister's flower garden from last summer. Aren't they the prettiest?  Yes, the Zinnias are in the cluster of these gorgeous flowers. That is where I came up with Red Zinnias for my card. And can you tell she loves the STEELERS.  

Thanks for stopping by my blog and come back again real soon. 

For You

How do you like these Strawberries? 

I think they look good enough to eat. 

I used the gingham ribbon with the strawberries, 

I think it makes the card have a country feel to it. 

I colored the strawberries with a red tombow marker and the leaves with watercolor pencils. 

The red marker was more vibrant for the strawberries 

and I liked the leaves a softer color, 

pencils is the best to use when you are looking for a softer look.  

The stamp set is from Flourishes. 

Spellbinder Die was used to made the shape of the card. 

Thanks for stopping by and please come back again. 

Happy Birthday

I made this card a while ago and thought I would show it to you. 

Love the blue berries.

The stamp set is from Flourishes and I colored it with watercolor pencils.

The label and circles are from spellbinder dies. 

Thank you for visiting my blog, please come back again.

I hope to get some pictures of my cards and get them posted.   

Hello Baby

Isn't this the cutest card.
Did you notice the bird in the tree? So cute. Adorable baby clothes hanging on the line.

This is from Flourishes, they have the most unique stamps. Some of them are very classic flowers and others are super cute. Their line of Christmas Stamps are gorgeous. Love them.

I used so saffron satin ribbon from Stampin Up. 

I colored the image with Tombow markers.

Thanks for visiting my blog today and hope you come back again soon.  

Thank You (Strawberry)

This is so gorgeous, love the red color.

What do you think of the background paper? Of course you can see that I just stamped the Thank You stamp all over the front of the card.

The strawberry I colored with Tombow markers and added the glossy effects to make it shinny.  Punched the circles for the layered look. I added pop ups on the circles to raise it off the card. I like to poked holes in the scallop green circle, it gives the card an additional look. Gorgeous little mint green brads are in the center of the flowers. Isn't this card so cute. Very colorful.

I have seen the background stamping on There She Goes Blog. Jessica does a lot of backgrounds with her stamps. I think it makes a pretty card using the background stamps. A lot cheaper than Designer Paper. Thanks Jessica for the inspiration on background stamping.

Get Well

This is for all the Lantern lovers out there. Isn't this the prettiest one you've seen in a while?

The colors are very colorful and love the distressed look.

I used my crimper that I actually had to dust it off because I haven't used it in so long. After I colored the image, I run it through the crimper, then distressed it. Very easy to do.

I made a card like this at Robin's, but when I wanted to make one, I hadn't bought the Easter stamp from Stampin Up for the flowers, so I used the new Flourishes stamp. I think it is called Love Letters.

The background is made by using the Lattice Folder in the Cuttlebug.

All the punches used are Stampin Up and the paper is from my stash.

Thanks for checking out my blog.

Have a great week.

Here is another Christmas Card that I did a while back. A very quick and easy card.

Only colors are red, black and white.

The stamp is from Flourishes. The only color on the image is the red berries and real red ink. I like the way the card ended up. And I might say that this is the first card in a long time that I didn't have ribbon or brads somewhere. My card base is black, the other white/gray is the background of the web page.

Happy Birthday Blueberries

This is one of my favorite stamps from Flourishes. The blue berries are gorgeous. I colored them with watercolor pencils and then blended with a blender pen. And the designer paper is from my stash. I liked the hint of blue and pink flowers along with the wheat or oats, which ever one it might be in the background. The label is from a Nestibilities die. I added the blue polka dotted ribbon to add to the color of the card.

Thanks for stopping by. All your comments are appreciated.

Birthday Wishes

A friend of mine had this stamp set and I just had to borrow it and see what I could make with it. I love the violets. They are so pretty and they remind me of my mom. She loved violets and anything that was the color purple/lavender. I wish she was here so I could give her this card. I know she would love it. I colored the violets with a marker and the leaves and stems are colored with prisma colored pencils and used a blender to blend them in.
