BUTTERFLY AND PEARLS CARD

Hello my crafty friends,

I have been seeing a lot of white on white cards lately and I have been wanting to try one.  So here is my take on white on white.

It an A2 size card in White Texture card stock.  I embossed the mat with the Darice Butterfly folder twice. One I cut out the Butterflies since I don't have a butterfly punch and glued them on each butterfly. I added the pearls and the ribbon and that was it.  Easy pease and very quick. I think it makes a beautiful wedding or shower card.  


I am going to enter this card into the Sweet Stamps Challenge "Pearls"  HERE.  Come join in the fun.

WHEELBARREL FLOWER CARD

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all doing well.  I made this card for Mothers Day (I'm trying to get a little ahead). I am usually so behind.  It just so happens that Bitten By The Bug 2 is having a flower challenge.  I'm going to enter this card into the challenge.  Come join in the fun.


Purple cardstock 4.25" x 5.50", White Mat 4" x 5.25", Blue pattern paper from Colorbok 3.75" x 5". I cut the Wheelbarrel at 1.50" from Walk in My Garden. The flowers were cut at 3/4" from Creat A Critter and the leaves are a MS Punch. The grass was cut from Plantin Schoolbook at 1" and the fence is also a MS Punch. I stickled the Wheelbarrel and put tiny pearls for the flower centers. The sentiment is from the computer (thought I had a stamp but I didn't LOL) and was cut from a EK Success punch.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving such nice comments.  Enjoy your day!

CARDZ TV CHALLENGE - BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi My Crafty Friends,

Sorry I haven't been posting for so long, I guess life just gets in the way. I have been crafting a bit, but just haven't been posting.  I made this card for my friend for her birthday.  I hope she likes it.  I'm also entering  this in the Cardz TV Challenge. The challenge is to make a birthday card, so it came at the right time.

My Card is an A2 size White Card Base. The Black dot paper is from a paper pad called Glitter Card Paper by Pooch & Sweetheart. I have had this pad a long time. The black and white card stock is from Colorbok and I embossed the white with the Swiss Dots folder. The scallop edge is my EKSuccess punch called Scallop Scallop.  The flowers are also a EK Success punch and I just added stickles to them to give it some bling.  The leaves are a MS Punch and I also added stickles.  The sentiment is a stamp from Stampin Up.  Added black lines w/ my gel pen to give it some demention.

Hope you like my card.
