BEST WISHES

My sister asked for a wedding card for her nieces wedding.  This is what I came up with.  The Doily Background stamp was stamped onto Whisper White card stock.  Vellum card stock was then embossed and used as an overlay.  I added some pearls, ribbon and sentiments to complete the card.


Since this card was her gift as it was a Money Holder card I put it in a clear envelope and decorated it with some more ribbon and butterfly.


Thanks for looking!

INSPIRED SMALL WONDER

I am home sick today...blah!  So I thought I would take a look at today's INSPIRATION CHALLENGE #326 over at Splitcoaststampers.  Today's website to be inspired by was Superfine Bakery.  I saw this beautiful cake with the pale orange flowers and was inspired to make the card below.

I also used this weeks SKETCH CHALLENGE #374  from Splitcoaststampers.


I was inspired by the pale flowers and the embossed looking dots on this cake to create my baby card below.  I thought the Peach Parfait color was a nice change from the usual go to Pink for a baby girl card.

THINKING OF YOU IN WATERCOLOR

I made this card for a co-worker who's husband just had a brain tumor removed.  

I used watercolor paper and colored my stamp with my markers.  Then I misted with water and stamped.  I created this card about a week ago but haven't had a chance to upload it.

WISTERIA POSIES

Although I have not been posting much on line...I have been busy in my craft room.  I made this card for one of the challenges out there in blog land ... then I forgot to upload it and forgot which challenge it was for.  lol

So here it is anyway.  I love the Wisteria Wonder color from Stampin Up paired with Concord Crush..or is it Crushed Concord...I can never remember.



Have a great day!
