Lilac Flowers Inchies Card

The current challenge at Ruby's Rainbow Challenges is sponsored by me!  The challenge is to create something using inchies.  Inchies are little squares of paper that can be hand cut or punched.  I used a punch for mine and inked all of the edges.  The lilac image is from Lili of the Valley and was already colored.  I added the 3 crystal gems at the bottom. 

Color Challenge Card

I am addicted to anything that sparkles, so when I found this crystal birdie, I had to have it.  I used patterned paper with some beautiful lace.  The flower is made of lace with a crocheted flower in the center.  The leaves add a pop of color. 

 

 The inspiration for this card came from the Tuesday Color Challenge at Outlawz Challenges.  It is always fun to create something from a specific color palette. 

Round & Round Card Challenge

The latest card challenge at Ruby's Rainbow Challenges is called Round & Round.  For my design team example, I used lots of circles.  The round silk flower is accented by circle shaped buttons (instead of leaves).  The sentiment is mounted on a circle and the embossed design on the metallic paper is of course, circles.  This would be a perfect thank you for a wedding gift.  Come and join the challenge at Ruby's Rainbow Challenges.  I am also submitting this card to Pile It On's embossed challenge.

Birdcage Vintage Card

My latest card is loaded with vintage style elements.  I started with glitter cardstock and added an old fashioned floral print that reminds me of old wall paper.  I found an old book page which I tore and inked for the background of my stamped birdcage.  Then, I used a piece of vintage lace (surprise, surprise) and a crystal flourish.  I just got these new leaves which are laser cut wood by Prima.  I love the color of the silk flower. 

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
