I don't think I showed you this one. Just finished making 12 of them. It is Silver on Navy. The side 'chain' are from a great Inkadinkadoo set called Chain Reaction that I got at my local stamp store. Had no intention of buying it until I saw it made up and then I was sold! Everything else is Flower Soft - the Blue Vase (crystal lacquered), the message tag, and of course the flowers. This was a fun card to make if I wasn't doing my typical mass production. Thanks for looking.

Nail Polish Technique




First picture is the envelope, second is the card inside and third is the card itself. I swear I have been working on this card for months, and now...the Nail Polish technique doesn't even show up in the scans. Picture the rainbow colors of gasoline floating on water. That is what the black background piece looks like. The vase and flowers have Crystal Lacquer and they really popped. Everything is colored with Chalk Pencil and blender pen. Also, my Dew Drops are homemade dew drops. The scan doesn't pick up their sparkle either, but they do look sharp. The stamp set is a TAC Stamp of the month from a couple months ago. Thanks for looking.

Everythings Blooming Again



OK, I think I figured out what was wrong with my scanner coloring. These are considerably better. This, again, is TAC Everything's Blooming images. This time they are paired with Dusty Blue (unknown) and SU Groovy Guava and layered onto wallpaper. Turned out pretty cute. Such an adorable image set.

More Everythings Blooming


I thought they might come out better if I did two at a time, but not necessarily I guess. It still isn't showing the detailing or patterns on the clothing.

More of Everything's Bloomin


Here is 4 more color variations of this same card. Such fun I've had!

EverythingsBlooming Pieces

This Cheerful Bird on his house went on the lower left corner of the envelope and on the card back for a logo. The Bird and Bouquet went on the back envelope flap and on the inside of the card. I don't know what's going on with my scan, the colors are not this deep. They are much prettier IRL.




Everything's Blooming


This Cheerful little gal is from TAC Serendipity catalog and is named Everythings Blooming. I've been working on these off and on for months. I'll post more of them later on - have made over a dozen so far. Every Dress is Paper Pieced from DP or wallpaper. I used LOTS and lots of Crystal Lacquer j- on her eyes, flowers, dress, boots, and the duck. My next post will be the card inside and the envy.

Bad girl that I have been - sorry. Do have excuses - among them 4 weeks on the road, but.....
Anyway, now that everybody has received them, I can post my 4th of July cards.
I made the Stars and Stripes papers using PSP, then stamped the Cupcake Frosting into the stars paper. This was a new cupcake stamp, can't find it right now so can't tell you whose. Anyway, I had fun with it.
Enjoy
