Card and Tag Challenge

Here's the final Card and Tag challenge for the season over at Joan's garden  This card is done in BoBunny papers. I hand cut the top of the card to match the tag. The "doilies" are done with Spellbinders. A little ribbon and a few buttons and twine added. One stamp from SU used for the flowers on the doilies. I had to keep it more simple because I ran out of time.

Monochromatic card

It's raining it's pouring so I am unable to work out in my yard. If it isn't the wind it's the rain. I was able to mow my grass and fertilize before the rains so goody for that!! I came indoors and finished up my  card for the challenge at Joans garden, to see details click here
Requirements: *Monochromatic *Embossed background *Flowers *Flourish * Butterflies.

I used Sizzix butterfly dies, SU paper cameo coral, off white and Pirouette pink, Spellbinders shapeabilites flourish , Prima  flowers, Rose is handmade from paper. Stamps from Papertrey Ink- Butterfly Kisses, Cuttlebug folders. I used a bit of Creamy Caramel ink to darken the edges and stamp the sentiment and swirls in the butterfly. I think I got it all covered!! 

Vintage Blue and Green

My card for the challenge here The requirements were Colors Blue/Green, Use a Lady, Include a Large Embellishment, Attach a bow. I used an old 2004 set from Stampin up. I love this set but it has hardly been used. It is one of two sets that I have that have a "Lady" in them. So there it is. Paper is from an old SU color Buckaroo blue. The little ribbon is silk leftover from some ribbon embroidery that I did years ago. I used Tim Holtz distress ink-Pumice stone to stamp along with the SU BBlue and Mellow moss. Did a bit of coloring with Copic markers. 

So that's it!!

A garden card

 Well chances are slim that I would win again this week but I enjoy entering the challenges at Joans Garden. You can check that out over HERE . It keeps me motivated in designing another card each week. Requirements *Colors lime green and pink *Lattice *Leaves to create a vine * Butterflies. 

I used a saleabration "Sweet Summer" stamp set from SU. I cut strips for my lattice in off white. The rest is pretty straight forward. Punch on bottom is ek success. Now I can just add whichever sentiment I want when I need it. Thanks Joan for the last win, I'll be looking forward to receiving it in the mail!! :)

Easter Card

This entry is for a card challenge over at http://joanscreations.blogspot.com
*White and gold
*Simple
*Little or no embellishments
*Embossing ( I did both heat and dry)
*Easter card
I added a bit of mauve because that just seems right for Easter!!
Stamps from Verve, gold embossing powder, cuttlebug folder, and a bit of Krylon gold pen to go around the arch cutout. The front is set up on dimensional dots. Mauve paper is from Creative memories (old stash)

Treasure every day card

Here's my card for Joan's challenge over here. I made my card to look like a chest of drawers with embossing. The ornate top in blue is Spellbinders diecut flourish. Drawers are embossed using cuttlebug folders. Drawers are dimensional. The bird is my splash of color. A little sponging to make it look "treasured". These are the guidelines:

•  use an embossing folder
•  something die cut
•  something dimensional
•  a monocromatic card with a splash of color

Big Farewell Card

This is an 8 1/2 by 11 inch card. The youth pastor from our church is leaving so I was asked if I could put a card together. It needed to be big enough for 60 signatures. I added inside pages for added signatures. Mostly computer generated with a bit of ribbon and glue to hold it together. I scrounged for some sad looking clipart people and if they weren't sad looking I "fixed" the faces so they did look sad.
