lunchtime sketch

This is a card I made using technostamper. blogspot.com sketch.

It will be a graduation card.

Started with a white card, then the red matt.

Did white panels and layered with the DP.

Used the vellum sentiment and put orange brads in the corners.

The arrow is a punch from SU. Added the 3 green brads to the arrow.

Salt faith challenge

I found another blog challenge. It's at saltfaithchallenge.blogspot.com , check it out.

To be a princess to the King.

My card I would call simple elegance.

I used strung pearls, ribbon and handmade lace ,that I got at an antique store.

This would make a great wedding card, or even anniversary.

Lace is hard to photograph, it's so pretty and danty though. Just click on the photo to see it up close.

glitter challenge

Creating with Chrissy's blog has the challenge to get messy with glitter. Hope it counts if it's glitter paint.

I used the glitter to outline the butterfly and for the flower centers. Also put a glittery ladybug on a flower petal.

With red thread I sewed the sides and top of the card.

It's still kind of plain though. I'll probably add a sentiment to it.

The glitter paint is scribbles 3D paint.

Flowers are purple and white acrylic paint. Butterfly purple and engine red paint.

The butterfly isn't as dark as the photo shows, bad lighting.

lunchtime sketch

This card I started with a red 9x4 card.

Not a size I make often.

The sketch is from Technostamper blog. It looks difficult , but it's not once you start.

Used orange mesh for the center 31/4" square then layered a 21/4 " orange square with a 2" red square.

The balloons I painted then cut out a used foam dots to adhere to the center panel.

The side triangles are the orange mesh 31/4" square cut in half, layered with a orange 11/4" and a red 11/8" squares. Painted balloons on those squares, and foam dots to adhere them.

Added 4 red brads to the center points.

And red raffia tied to the top of the card, and a bow of red raffia for the balloons.

I didn't like all the red so I cut out four triangles of the orange CS to use as the panels on the card.

I may be trying this size card more often, it was fun.

The balloons I painted separately and the cut out and used foam dots for dimension.
Simple card, but I like simple.

belli challenge #8 FLOWER POWER

I found another card challenge over at Chrissyd723 blog. Creating with Chrissy has for a challenge to use flower embellishments. I used my paper flowers that I just had to get, and there they sat on the shelf of my desk.

Started with a white card, that I painted the edges with Yellow citron acrylic and with a foam brush lightly brushed on the card. Stamped the Happy Mother's Day then painted the slide mount with the yellow citron. Used crystals on the slide mount and for the center of the paper flowers.

And there's my flower power card, an explosion of color.
