Tulips

Made the card using Our Daily Bread Designs stamps.

I started by sponging purple ink all around the edges of my card.  Then layered a patterned paper from ODBD Blooming Garden Collection.   I stamped on ODBD stamp set Tulip Corner on the bottom right hand side.  I colored it in with CTMH markers.  I then used the Tulip Tag Set stamp set to make the tag - which I cut out and attached it to the left hand top corner, at an angle.  I colored those tulips exactly like the bigger tulips.  The Praise God stamp is from ODBD Blessings stamp set.

I added a purple & white stitched ribbon bow to the top of it...and then added purple glitter gems to the two opposite corners.

Geometric Shapes

I used yellow cardstock for the base of my card.  I cut out three different geometric shapes using my Cricut machine...using the CCR Basic Shapes.  I added bronze colored brads to the flower and also to the other flower on the oval shape.  I added a chipboard bow and bird to it...then added a cutout panel that has Treasured Friends on it, which I used 3D foam to attach it.

UnstampaBelles Challenge #33 - Geometric Shapes

(their twist is to use at least 3 different shapes)

Prayers and Blessings for Your Home

Made this card for some friends who just moved into a new home.

For the base of my card I used a Dotted embossing folder on an off white cardstock...then layered it on to a black cardstock.   I used Our Daily Bread Designs stamps set Canning Jar Fillers and cut it our with the Canning Jars Die.  The "Prayers and Blessings for Your Home" is from the ODBD Bless This Home stamp set.   The covered lace topping on the jar is also from the Canning Jar Fillers stamp set.  The pattern for the jar top and also for the title is from the ODBD Heart & Soul Paper Collection.

I colored the strawberries and jar in with Promarkers.  Then added a strawberry patch to it.

This month is Our Daily Bread Designs 6th Anniversary...and the challenge is to use Metal or Something Sweet.  Strawberries are yummy sweet!

Imagine That March Challenge

Imagine That...Digi's by Kris

March Challenge - Kitty in Flowers

Kris has done it again!  Another super cute image with messages/sayings.

When playing along in her monthly challenges, she gives the monthly image free.

Those who haven't played along yet can purchase the kit for a pretty low price.

I went with the pre-colored image because I thought the colors went really good with the background that I wanted to use.   The "OH HAPPY DAY"  was also pre-colored.

The background of my card is paper from CTMH.

Easter Blessings

Made this "Easter Blessings" card using a very light green cardstock for the base of my card.  I cut out the two different eggs using the CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I really like these egg shapes in the Artiste Cartridge.  I added pink stick on pearls to the one egg and also the pink pearl for the center of the flower on the other egg.  I put a purple stitched ribbon on the green egg also.  I then cut out some very small oval shapes and put them together to make Jelly Beans.   I hand wrote the Easter Blessings on.
