Cammie's Release Party Sketch Challenge

Good Morning!

I made this card for Cammie's Release Party Sketch Challenge.

I guess I unconsiouly wanted to be a rebel because I completely forgot to round my two corners and put a tab on the top corner. LOL! Oh well it was still fun to do.
I used SU cs and Nana's Nursery Baby Girl dp from DCWV. I used my oval nestibilities and cut out two scalloped ovals. The top one, I paper pierced and then layered it over the green scalloped oval and put the image in the center.
I used GinaK's Happy Harvest set, colored with Prisma pencils, OMG and blender stump. I put crystal lacquer over the flowers and leaves to give them a little shine. I added rhinestones around the image and to a couple corners of the dp. The ribbon is just a tied bow and glued on with a glue dot.

Have a good rest of your weekend!

Just Because...

Happy Friday!
I am sooo glad it is Friday! It has been a busy week, both at work and home.


The card for today is using a stamp from SU's Natural beauty set. The image is stamped on SU's shimmery cs and colored with Prisma pencils, OMS and a blender stump. Over that I watercolored with a glitter pen to give it a bit of sparkle. One of EK Success border punches was used on the corners.
I did reverse embossing with the Cuttlebug and then covered the paper with Metallic Rub-on. I added the Prima flowers with a brad in the center. I wanted a smaller sentiment for this card so went with the SU tab punch and a sentiment from the SU Fancy Flexible Phrases set.
I wanted to add ribbon but did not want to cover anything up with it so I put a couple eyelets in the tab and fed the ribbon from the back then tied a knot on each side.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Flower Garden

Hi!
Today I wanted to show you a couple of cards I made with a SU retired set. Flower Garden is one of the sets that are fun to color. These images are a couple more from the pile I have been using up. The pile is almost gone which is good because I have a few ideas floating around in my head that I want to play around with.

The above card was made using SU CS, designer paper and ribbon. I used the new scallop edge punch and word window punch from SU, Nestibilities and a cuttlebug embossing folder. It's kind of hard to see but on the flower I watercolored with the glitter pen. The sentiment is from SU's small sayings stamp set.

To make this card I used SU CS, designer paper and ribbon, Nestibilities, and one of the new cuttlebug border folders. You can not see this in the picture but after I embossed the dot border, I dabbed versamark on the dots and heat embossed using Iredescent Ice to give the dots some sparkle. Can you see that I also used the heat gun to crinkle the ribbon? Instead of using floss or ribbons on the buttons I used a sequence in the middle.
One more day until Gina's release party - Woo Whoo! Don't forget to stop by her blog tomorrow to see what the design team has done with the sneak peak #5!
Thank you for stopping by!
