Here a new Birthday card I created today.  I enjoyed using the soft pallet of dsp, Floral District, Baja Blue and So Saffron.  I think it turned out to be a very pretty card

Punches: small and large Scallop. and also scallop border punch
Tools: I used a puncher to make the holes around the outside of the large scallop

Bird in a Wreath....Neutrals

Here's my newest card for a friends wedding.  I think the neutrals of the card stock, punches and sizzex leaves all together make for a strikingly simply card. Hope you like it

Ribbon is the new SU 7/8" cotton ribbon in natural
Punches: modern label, word window, bird builder and little leaves sizzex

Labor Day Fun

Well today I decided to spend the day making cards. I fell and sprained my ankle a few days ago which has put a damper on any weekend fun...except to sit and make creative cards. This card I call "Bird in a Bush" I hope you enjoy it.

I used Whisper white card stock and stamped the script in so saffron. Then i sponged so saffron around edges and also lightly all over the script, to give it some antiqued look. I used the sizzix vine branch and cut the branches to fit my card. I hand cut the bird, then stamped another bird so I could cut just the wing out and use a dimensional to pop it off the card. Small mini flower punch was used for the flowers. To give it just a little bling, I used clear jewels for the eye and centers of flowers
