Wildflowers

I had so much fun making this card and trying new things. I have a new die cut and colored it bu dipping it in distress ink. It colors the center of the flower but leaves the outside edges white. I also wanted to use some beads and did so on the bottom by the stem to add texture and do something new. I really like the simplicity of this card.

A Fairy Tale

May all your fairy tales come true. This Bugaboo http://www.bugaboostamps.com/search.asp?keyword=ladybug+fairy&search.x=6&search.y=12&search=GO Ladybug Fairy image captured my attention and I wanted to make a pink, girly card. Tuesday Morning Sketches had a great sketch http://tuesdaymorningsketches.blogspot.com/2015/01/tuesday-morning-sketches-285.html


I cut a lacy frame. Then i had some clear ribbon roses I dipped in Worn Lipstick DI to color the center of them. I do not usually use images of people, so I tried something new. I like how the card turned out.

Love Bug

Have you been struck by the Love Bug?? This one is delivering glitzy hearts for Valentine's Day!! The red edge and netting the bug is standing on is from the STAMPlorations Mini Mixed Media set. I stamped Love at the bottom but wanted it to be more textured so I spread embossing powder and heat set it. The bug was embossed and bling hearts were added.

Chicken Soup

The Sweet Sunday Sketch Challengehttp://kgiron.blogspot.com/2015/01/sweet-sunday-sketch-challenge-253.html has an awesome sketch this week.

Bugaboo has a January photo inspiration challengehttp://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/january-photo-inspiration-challenge.html and whenever I see snow and winter I think of cold and Chicken Soup. Made from scratch with baking powder biscuits! Yummo.

So, using the Sweet Sunday sketch and the Bugaboo Kitchen Chicken-Soup image, the card was created. Tulip pearl paint was added to the boil over from the pot. A feather was added becase chickens are known for feathers. Bling was added for the bubbles from the pot. Winner Winner...Chicken Dinner!

Edward

Can anyone have to many valentines? This is one of my favorite days and I love to send out cards to my family and friends. I forego Christmas cards and put my postage on valentines!! I made a special valentine for my grandson, Riley. He should be here and a little candy inside the card will make it a perfect duo for his valentine. I used the Edward valentine Bugaboo digistampww.bugaboostamps.com/Edward-Valentine_p_3632.html Edward is colored with aqua colors and an I love you banner finishes off the card.

I kiss better than I cook

Wowza...I am a pretty good cook when I want to cook. But today, I wanted to make a card. Using the Retro Sketches design,





I hand stamped each letter and layed them like tiles on the yellow paper. I wanted to use cooking paper for the background. Then, I wanted the lips to stick out. I think this will be a great valentine for Ricky!
