Up Against a Brick Wall



I made this card to give encouragement to someone who needs it.  I used stamps from the Verve set called "Just Breathe" and Distress Ink in Firebrick Red, along with the Tim Holtz brick stencil, and the MFT stitched scalloped rectangle frame die from black and white and inset the white into the black frame.  The heart is also from the same set.

Miss You Bird and Bee



I made this card for one of my grand daughters and plan to enter it in the I (heart) Sketches, Challenge #151 over at From the Heart Digital Stamps blog.
I used their "Bee Happy Birdbrain" stamp and colored it with Spectrum Noir and Zig Clean Color Markers, then cut it out with a stitched circle die from Memory Box.  I matted that on a black Lacy Circle die from We R Memories.  I used black and white stripe washi tape to make the bottom border.  I popped the bird circle on fun foam for dimension and added Wink of Stella to the eyes, bee, flowers and beak.  I finished it off with a couple of gems from Hero Arts in the middle of the flowers.

I'm also entering this in the Cards in Envy Just Us Girls Challenge



Just a Note with Sparkle Vellum



Having fun in the cave today!  I recently received my Hero Arts May kit and it had the prettiest vellum in it!  I also received this really cool die from Impression Obsession that's a border of hugs and kisses!  I used supplies from the kit, gems, vellums in clear with sparkles and turquoise, black and white card stock from Gina K Designs, patterned paper from Lawn Fawn "Perfectly Plaid" stack, and the sentiment stamp is from The Cat's Pajamas set called "Home Tweet Home".  I love how this turned out with all those cool vellums they included in the kit!
