Garden Collage

Sure should have recorded this one when I first made it, now have to try to recall what I did and how - fat chance!

Base card was a Wausau Blue, with Green Galore, Black, Crumb Cake, and Watercolor Paper.
Base was 8 1/2 x 5 1/2.  Green was 3 1/4 x 3, and 3/4 x 1 3/4.  Black was 3 x 2 3/4, 5 1/2 x 1 1/4, 5/8 x 1 5/8.  Crumb Cake 1 x 5 1/2.  Watercolor 2 3/4 x 2 1/2, and 1/2 x 1 1/2.
Used SU Markers: Barely Banana, Tempting Turquoise and Creamy Caramel with Aqua Painter.  Small Gingham Ribbon, Turquoise Rhinestones.  Fussy Cut Bird and affix with dimensionals.  Green layer is also attached with dimensionals.  A hint of glitter on the butterfly and one the bird.   Hope that's everything.

Valentines Day 2012

While this is only the image, not the complete finished card, I wanted to share anyway.  I came across this picture in my files and realized I had never posted last years Valentine card for you.  This was an image created by Sherry Baldy.  Love her 'Big Eyed' images.  This was added to a jazzed up Red & White card and looked pretty fancy, with Blingy red hearts, etc.

More Garden Collage (Retired SU set)

I think this is the 5th design I've done with this set recently.  Guess I need to scan and post a couple of the others yet.  On both cards, the center design piece is raised above the rest of the card.  On one of them, there is truly a white border.  On the other, the black goes all the way to the edge.  I think it's a little confusing when looking at the photos.  Enjoy.
  This is the one that has the white border:

Watercolor Minis

This card is so soft and pastel that it does not show up extremely well.  The stamp set is SU Water Color Minis.  The branches are double stamped, in both Pink & Green.  The first stamping is full of ink, then you quickly stamp a second time.  The fact that there is so little ink on the stamp, makes it look even softer, almost faded, and gives it a little depth.  A spot has been left blank for a Greeting or Sentiment.  The soft pink butterflies are made using the SU sizzlit, which automatically cuts and embosses a pattern onto the butterfly.  It has 5 or 6 sizes available on one sizzlit and each has a slightly different shape and pattern.  The sentiment area has been edged with a softer green, using a border punch from SU.  Glitter glue was placed lightly over the pink stems.  Tiny pearls on the butterflies finish the card.  A delicate, pretty card.
