Last post for today! This card was made last night with the corset cards so in all I did a total of (5) cards last night/morning!  I added morning since it was 6:00am when I left my studio for bed. Of course I had lost track of time or my mind!LOL!  Anyway, Cardstock is Recollections, background paper is DCWV the blossoms & butterflies stack. Beautiful stuff! IRL it, digi is cute daisy may. Sad she discontinued her challenge blog hope she keeps the store open though. I love cute daisy may!  Scallop is cuttled with d'vine swirls. No other embellishs needed, I let the paper do its thing!! Oh markers used are sharpie and the sky was chalked. Umbrella's trim was stickled in lime green along with the trim on her dress. Flowers in basket were stickled in diamond.
Thanks for looking and be blessed.

EASTER CARD FOR MY UNCLE

Ok, no I didn't just do this card today, it was finished before Easter, I just didn't post it. I had technical difficulties last Sunday trying to post as a result nothing made it to my blog! Plus I couldn't wish my wonderful husband Happy Birthday. So I'll do that now, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUNNY!

This is a Stampabilities stamp titled Resurrection Cross and the script is also. It reads, "You are Inscribed on the palm of his hand..." Isaiah 49:16.
Coloring is Sharpie markers and distressing inks in Walnut Stain. I did the shawl in purple and the barbed crown in gold. How fitting for a Prince.  I think the distressing looks alot like clouds covering the
Earth when Jesus died. What you think? That was a happy find. I wasn't going for that look but glad it happened like so.

Thanks for looking and be blessed!

Good afternoon everyone! I have just been creating away. I need to be enter some of those challenges I follow Huh!  I made this card for a friends birthday, but the changed my mind and made her another one instead.  I think it was more to use my  new Martha Steward floral vine punch. Thing is, I went with a totally different color scheme on the other card. Of course I had to try some new gadget on that one too!

Anywho, cardstock recollections, background is Paper Studio, digi is Precious Moments, flowers are Recollections scrunched for dimension and leaves underneath cut using cricut storybook cartridge.

As always, Thanks for stopping by and be blessed!

I WENT CORSET HAPPY!

This card is a 4.75" x 6.75" using Recollections cardstock for base of card. Background paper is DCWV Le Cre'me matstack in 4.50" x 6.50". Perfect size for my cards!  The paper is so pretty, I didn't use any embellishments. The flowers are flocked! My corset is cut at 4" using the sweethearts cart. I cuttlebugged with D'vine Swirls, pink rhinestones from Recollections were used for buttons.







This card has the same dimensions as the one above and the same papers were used. This background is totally fuzzy!!! IRL! The corset was begging for some flocking too, so I gave it some. The colors are actually red.black, and cream but for some reason they are showing pink. The buttons are Pearl stickers from of course, Recollections.










Final corset card! Background paper is from The Paper Studio Black & White collection, all other is Recollections.  Corset got a simple sheer lace ribbon treatment. OH this drive me mad!!LOL! Image glueing the back the coming up with the ribbon idea, glad it came to me before I stuck it down!  The bottom border is a MS lace heart punch.

Thanks for stopping by and be blessed!

LUCKY CHARM

I created this card for the challenge over at My Pink Stamper Challenge. You were to create something using the colors pink (of course), green, and black.
Close up of the corset which I cut at 4" then cuttlebugged with the swiss dots folder. I used Recollections hot pink rhinestones for buttons, hot pink offray ribbon from Michael's, and a Recollections shamrock for the center of the bow. Border is a MS doily lace trim punch and Recollections Pearl sticker for the centers of the flowers. All papers are Recollections card stock, cricut cartridge used is sweethearts, the pink and black flowers are from Recollections also and the title is rubons from K and Company.
Thanks for looking and have a blessed day!
