Textured Thank You Card

This little card, although it hasn't scanned very well is a real cutie. I used one of the new textured 3x3 note cards in Wild Wasabi; snailed on a slightly smaller piece of Ruby Red DP and then stamped on Shimmery White with Lines and Doodles and Just So Sayings for the flowers and stems. I shaded them in with SU Metallic Art Pencils, giving a little shadow behind and below each little flower. I added some bling to the centres, raised them with dimensionals and did some faux paper piercing in the lower left corner to complete the triangle thing. I'm very pleased with the way it turned out and can't wait to give it to someone. I think a lot of stampers are using the little flower from that set so it certainly isn't a new idea, I'm sure, but I still enjoyed putting it together. Welcome everybody (Ruth) back from convention - hope you had a great time and learned lots. The next downline meeting we'll all be waiting with breath held for your report! Enjoy the long weekend, whether you're going away or not, all you stampers, and pray for nice weather. We're off camping so of course we don't want it to rain. Bye for now.

Pinwheel card

Hello!

This is another card in my series of realtor cards that i'm working on.

It uses my new punch - corner punch which makes 2 different sizes of photo corner holders.

I used the small tag punch to make the petals of the flower. I also used the Prints designer paper in Rose Red.

Have a great weekend!

The Turquoise Card and the Barnaby Card

Remember I said I wasn't sure what to do with the Turquoise card? Well, I thought and thought and finally decided to give it to my granddaughter for her graduation. The card was so pretty and turquoise is one of her favorite colors so without thinking it to death I just decided to do it. She was very pleased and liked the card as much as I hoped she would. As for the Barnaby card, you'll note that his name is spelled Barney on the version I added to my blog; rest assured that I changed it and the one we sent to him and his owner has his name spelled correctly. I didn't want anyone to think I made a huge mistake. I should have rescanned it with the correction but I didn't, probably because I didn't have time. I'm working part time again even though I retired in April. We're planning a trip to Fiji next March so every extra dollar will help to make it a really special trip. Our anniversary is in March, as well as our BFF anniversary, so we're tripping together. They won a trip for two but we're on our own, paying for it on our own, so that's why I'm working again. Whew! Big explanation. Talk soon.
