Lucky

Hello...

Well aren't you Lucky to have arrived here today for the start of another great challenge over at the Words 2 Craft By blog.

Click on over for a look at the fabulous cards provided by the Inspiration Team.

My card is really simple to make...especially if you have a Silhouette Cameo.

Letters were die cut 3 times so I could layer them for dimension.

Stamping at the bottom of each letter and a bit of coloring.

Finished the card by mounting on a green card base.

I hope you will join us this month over at Words 2 Craft By.

Swirl Flower

Hello, hello....

I had a chance to look at the challenge over at Ellen Hutson and when I saw the inspiration photo, I knew I had to play along.

Just look at all that lovely Aqua !!!!!

Using a watercolor panel as my base, I then die cut/embossed the Stitching Lines.

Did a little smooshing with the panel and Peacock Feathers distress ink.

Bold Blooms was inked, fussy cut and Crystal Drops were added to the swirls.

Grosgrain Ribbons were die cut from Aqua cardstock, stamped and heat embossed.

Palm Prints with Words 2 Craft By

Hello my friends...

Each month is a new theme, and I chose to just go with the colors.

A little bit of stamping down the left side of the card using Papertrey Ink Palm Prints and Memento markers. I also stamped and fussy cut the large leaf and popped it up with foam adhesive.

Delicata Golden Glitz was used for the veins of the Caladium and the palm frond.

A bit of inking at the top of the card and a stamped sentiment.
