St. Paddy's Day Green Bouquet


I created this green toned floral card for St. Patrick's Day and the Go Green challenge at Crafty Cardmakers.  I started with a Lindy's Magicals background layered with vellum on the top and bottom.  I added diecut leaves in 2 colors and clustered velvet flowers to make a bouquet.  I added gold glitter to the center of the flower - like the pot of gold.

Flower Themed Cards



I had fun trying out my new leaf cutting dies this weekend.  I decided to use a stack of handmade paper that I have purchased over the years.  Most of the paper came from Hobby Lobby and even though I was thinking of purging it, I am glad I didn't.  Most of the paper has glitter accents and cuts nicely in my Vagabond.  I used the same pattern for each card, starting with handmade paper as the background.  Each card has diecut leaves and a central flower.  I was able to accent with sequins on some of the cards as well.

Floral Card


I created this pretty card for the Crafty Cardmakers Floral Challenge.  I started with foiled background paper and added an intricate diecut.  I layered a Tim Holtx floral diecut with foiled leaves and a custom dyed flower nestled in vintage seam binding ribbon.

Vintage Spring Card


I created this floral bird card with a vintage flair for the Vintage Card Cafe Card Challenge.  The theme is spring which is my favorite season.  I started with an intricate doily diecut and layered on flower diecuts from Tim Holtz and a layered burlap flower from Art-C.  The chipboard bird was painted, inked, stamped and distressed.  I added foiled leaf sprigs to finish it off.  It is busy and over the top - which is why it is perfect!
