Fun Cards


The first card I did for the Designed2Delight Saturday challenge, which is to make a birthday card.  I used the Wish Big image and, of course, went overboard with my distress inks again.
I ordered some new stamps from I Brake for Stamps, which is my favorite stamp company!  The dancers are two of four on the sheet and there are two other sentiments beside "Dance."  I used my distress inks again and some beads I got from a local bead store.

Sunshine and smiles

Ah, what a restful scene Faith has created this week with the freebie over at Designed2Delight.  I got the free sentiment at Scrap-a-licious.  I went back to the basics with watercolor crayons and torn paper.  I don't use much patterned paper but really do like the look so am trying to learn to mix and match.  Now that I look at the picture of the card I think I should have let the paper edges be even on the left side.........................Sigh!  Have a Happy 4th!

Summer Hibiscus

This card came about quite by accident.  I colored the image and then planned to add just a little watercolor to the edges but...................I dropped the cardstock into the puddle!    I actually kind of like how it turned out though.  This is D2D's new image and the hibiscus is my second most favorite flower in the world.  The first being a daisy!!  I stamped the flower embellishments onto shrink inkjet paper and then punched them out with a punch from Purple Daisy.

Fresh Cut in Pink and Orange

Here is the same image from D2D but using the colors red and orange.  I like doing the Saturday challenge and especially enjoy using the same image from the day before.  Once again I used Distress ink but on watercolor paper this time.

Fresh Cut

This week's image is a delightful little vase with flowers.  I distressed the image and used a paper stack from The Paper Studio.

Goin Buggy Challenge

I enjoy doing the Satreday challenges over at Designed 2 Delight but more often than not run out of time.  This week the  challenge is to make a card with a bug so I chose one of my favorites-a dragonfly.  This image is called Dragonfly Collage.  The sentiment is also one of Faith's.

Tiptoe through the Tulips

This is this week's image from Designed 2 Delight and is called Mary, Mary.  All I could think of was  Tiny Tim's  1968 Tiptoe Through the Tulips!  She kinda looks like a little flower child, doesn't she??
