Thanksgiving 2013

The idea for this card came from an example card at my local paper store (Collage in Oak Harbor WA) . The orange background paper feels like suede. The punch for the leaves is MS Branch. The punched card stock had to be thin ; thicker card stock was too hard to punch.

Happy Anniversary

This card was made using some new tools/toys: the background was painted with a mixture of 3 Stemple-Farbe Paints (Carmine Red Metallic, Copper and Violet Metallic). The flower is a sticker from Elizabeth Crafts also painted with Stemple paints (+ Moss Green Metallic). The layers of mats are made with Perfect Layers rulers. The green card base was embossed with the Cuttlebug. The Happy Anniversary words are Cheery Lynn dies.

Graduation Card

This card was made using the graduation announcement received and cutting it up and repositioning parts of it on a card base. The school emblem was placed on a white inchie.

Painted Congratulations

Using Tim Holtz Distress Paints I made the background paper. The flower is a digital (Lila Grey- Anemone), colored with TH Distress Markers and coated with Twinkling H20's. The sentiment is from SU Wacky Wishes set embossed with copper embossing powder.
