Happy Easter

This was such a fun card to make.My Lemon Tart ribbon doesn't look very lemony on top of that Spring Moss CS does it. I used Michelle's Spring Scheme for this card. The yellow egg was embossed with the new Picnic Plaid impression plate. The grass was made with a new MS Punch. The pattern on the Lavendar Moon CS was made by stamping BB Tin Types with Versamark Ink. I placed the 3 buttons over the flowers on that particular egg. All three of those buttons have 3 holes instead of 4 - fun. Some yellow floss, glitter and pearls finished it off.

To a Special Couple

This ribbon rose is made from lace trim. After I had it assembled I airbrushed it with Y21 and RV21 to give it a pink vintage look. I made the patterned paper with Papertrey Ink's Background Basics Tin Types and Turning a New leaf. Before stamping the pattern I sponged on Versamagic pigment ink in Wheat. The large leaves are Hero Arts Patterned Medallion Leaf stamp. Sentiment is from the JustRite Wedding set. The sentiment oval is cut from a Spellbinders Labels Ten Die. Cardstock is Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream and Sweet Blush. Pink Pearls are Kaiser.

Mother's Day cards for the troops

I usually donate the challenge cards I have made to OWH but I really wanted to make some pretty Mother's Day cards for the troops. I made 17 of these. Papertrey stamps are Background Basics Text Style, Fancy Flourishes and Butterfly Dreams.

Enjoy Life

Here is my contribution to the Fun with Floss challenge on the Moxie Fab Blog.

I just love all the "My Cute Stamps"  birdcages. I paper pieced this one with some Jenni Bowlin Homespun mini paper and colored the top and bottom accents with a copic marker. The cage 'wires' were stitched with a variegated floss. I used my Tim Holtz ruler with piercing holes to line up the holes first. {that little ruler is one of my most-used tools}. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Star Prints set.

I love to  see a (1) in my Google Reader from Lilybean {Melissa Phillips}. Her projects are so fun to see. The top card is her card from the Papertrey Ink gallery featuring Damask Designs. For my card I stamped a Turning a New Leaf vine onto vintage sheet music with Sweet Blush ink. The flower is made from Sweet Blush Grosgrain ribbon. I added some tiny green rhinestones to some of the music notes. Double click for a closer view.The sentiment and swirls are form Giga Guidelines. Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday Wishes

Here is my card for Melissa Phillip's most recent  inspiration photo. I love these colors together. If you look very closely at the rose in her photo it has a very subtle pink tint to it. I made this rose with Papertrey Ink cream satin ribbon then airbrushed it a little with a pink Copic marker to try to mimic the flower. The Aqua Mist paper was stamped with Damask Designs stamp set using Fresh Snow ink. The sentiment is from Giga Guidelines.

Miss YOU - CPS 153

This card is for CPS 153 and is based on Melissa Phillip's photo inspiration shown above. I love this combination of colors and textures. CPS is sponsored this week by my favorite stamp company, Papertrey Ink, and the inspiration is from my favorite card designer so this was a very fun card to make. Thanks for stopping by.
