Friendly Flower Card

I got this stamp a couple of years back and have not really used it much.  So, when I decided to join in a Stamped Image swap with the theme, "Flower Power" I just had to use it!  Then I just had to color it!

The stamp is from Peachy Keen Stamps:  Funny Flowers.
I used scraps of paper, ribbon and pearls.  I did add purple Stickles to the butterfly and Crystal Effects to the flower's eyes for dimension.

I think he is adorable!

Cards!

I made this card for one of my fellow divas. She has been asking for one of my book cards, so...here it is :) I knew I had to use black, it is her favorite color, but I had to lighten it up to go with the verse so I added white, pink and green. I used a Spellbinder to cut the book and pages. All papers are from my scrap basket...Raven card stock, glossy black card stock, hand made paper...I added charms, paper flowers, rhinestone brads, ribbon, glitter stickers and sequin butterflies. I think it turned out pretty.

This card is for another fellow Diva...for our birthday swap. Again I used scraps of card stock and Basic Grey patterned paper. The image is a digi stamp from Fred She Said. I colored it with Stampin'Up pencils and blended with Gamsol. I then cut the images out and covered with Glossy Accents. I used Dew Drops for the pearl like accents on the scalloped circle. When I put it all together I used pop dots on the cut outs for added dimension. I think she is going to like it!

Cards, Cards, Cards!

I had several cards I needed to make today...2 graduation, becoming a citizen & a pet sympathy....

The graduation cards are easel cards with appropriate school colors and a special quote, very personalized. The becoming a citizen card...I used a piece of vintage clip art and just went from there. Finally, the sympathy card...the hardest to make...was very simple and has a beautiful quote on the inside. It is hard to see in the picture, but after I embossed the white cardstock I used Perfect Pearls on the image. It gave it a very elegant shimmer. Tomorrow...swaps! I have two ATC's to do...
