Thanks for the lift!

I have been feeling lots of support from my friends... a thank you card for tonight's group sounded like a good idea!

This card uses card stock and b&t paper from the CTMH balloon ride paper set on colonial white card stock.  The stamps are from C1570  Lifting Spirits stamp set... ink used is saddle.  The border at the bottom is made using the CTMH scallop punch.  The techniques used are the sunburst pattern, and paper piecing.

Thanks for looking!

Skylark and Fundamentals Paper Fun!

This card was our project for Wednesday, April 16th.  I wanted to try something with the basic fundamentals paper, and the skylark b&t paper.  We embellished with the flower from the B1432 Love This stamp set, aqua dots, and bakers twine, all Close To My Heart.

Thanks for looking!

Are you ready for Easter?

Now is the time to get started on your Easter cards, if you haven't already!

At our Wednesday night scrap, we made this card.

Mine was the prototype, and is a little "imperfect".  The cards the ladies made, however, were exceptional! We used retired Chantilly b&t paper, buttercup, indian corn blue or hollyhock cs and inks (depending on which sides of the Chantilly paper were used).  We used watercolor pencils and waterbrush to color. Cutouts were done with Cricut Art Philosophy.  All of the cards made were different, with lots of different color combinations.  Was a fun evening!

Lynda shared some cards she made embossing and coloring on vellum.  SueAnn shared a card she made using the dry embossing technique.  Kathy shared a folded rosette she made from vellum that she had also edged using a punch, along with a beaded flower she had made.  All beautiful and well done!
