Beautiful Blooms Fun Fold

 

 

I have been in a creative lull, I like to design my own cards and

have just been without ideas.  I wanted to create today so I found

a fun fold card on Pintrest for my inspiration by Terri Gaines.

It was actually very simple to create and reasonably quick. I used

two embossing folders, one 3D and one regular on the white panels.

Coloring with Copics.

Flower Power

 

I was the lucky draw for the prize at Snippet's Playground last time and

was anxious to play with my goodies.  A few are stamped ready to make,

the one above with image from Crafty Roo was the first completed.

The blue background was colored and stenciled in my background box,

I added some stamping to it, colored the flower with dye inks

and splattered with white and pink.  The black border and the black and

white paper, and the butterfly were also snippets. Mixed media is a challenge for

me, but I really enjoyed making this card.

 Happy Mother's Day to all!

My mom's Mothers Day card. Image is Altenew-a May 2022 set that

comes with stamp, stencils, embossing folder and die, 

stencil is Pink and Main. I like the look of embossing after

stenciling the rose bouquet. I added sparkle with my 

Wink of Stella and used a white gel pen and some gems.

Butterfly Shaker

 

 

I have not been very creative lately so I pulled up several of

my favorite challenges and made a card to fit all of 

them.  I recently bought some Gina K inks and had

a panel I had sitting on my desk (snippet), embossed

it with a Paper Studio butterfly die I had won 

previously from Mrs. A, added another layer of ink

so the butterflies would show up better.  I turned

this into a shaker card, used a pink frame I had in a

box and added an Altenew Happy Birthday that I already had. 

This was fairly quick since everything was already cut

and sitting around!
