Any Occasion

I was inspired by the stencil background in Tag You're It!, and thrilled I could put several challenges together.  Punch, girly and floral is my tic-tac-toe choice for CAS on Sunday, the sketch from Freshly Made, make it girlie from Simon Wednesday and the colors are from ColorQ.  Enjoy!

Timeless Textures

I wanted to work with the colors at CCMC and collaborate by adding a card to the challenge but I was really short on time.  Somehow the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch gave me the final push and using the Timeless Texture I put this card together.  Enjoy!

Birthday Card

This set from SU is really pretty and it allows you to choose the colors you want to create your scene with.  After the flowers were stamped, I heat embossed with clear over the color to give it a bit of glow.  I used the technique from Jennifer McGuire. Enjoy!

Dedication Card

Simple Dedication card for my daughter who is going to be the godmother to her best friend's daughter.  I used embossing folders to add some interest to the plain paper.  The cross was heat embossed with SU pewter EP, a little heart with diamond stickle was placed on the center of the cross.  Enjoy!

For You

I was inspired by the card Mary Fish made for Mojo Monday with the removable gift card envelope as part of the sketch.  However I made my own envelope, I'm not really happy with the Envelope Punch Board, the sizes are just not right and I don't like how the card fits. :( I will post how I made it in case you care to use it. As I hop challenges, three more caught my attention and was able to combine one card for all of them.  Enjoy!

Heat Embossed and Marker

This was heat embossed on a white card stock and colored with a black Tombow black marker using this technique by Jennifer McGuire in a class I went to.  Washi tapes were used instead or DSP.  Enjoy!
