The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes

It's the 4th Wednesday so you know what that means at The House 

That Stamps Built: Anything Goes week!

I wanted something bright and cheery so I pulled out several

Flower Power separates, and Palm Frond Sil. (lg). I die cut

an oval from the center which I can use on another card,
and put vellum in its place, dry embossed the frame with Darices
stripe background andadded Birthday as I always need birthday cards.

Turtle Love

This is one of my Father's Day cards for next weekend.  I used  Whimsy

Stamps Lovin Turtle, after stamping it I copied it on card stock at 50% 

for the baby image.  Colored with Copics and added a sentiment.  I

kept it simple by just creating a border by scoring the edges 1/2" from each 

side for some interest as I wanted the dad and baby turtle to be the highlight.
