Well, I am home with strep throat today and have no energy. I haven't posted anything here in a while, so wanted to post something. Here is a card that I did a few weeks ago. I had to make a women's card for a swap. I love this new stamp from Stampin Up. Hope you like it too!
This is a birthday card that I made yesterday for a swap. I love how it turned out with the pink and the black. I used some shimmer paint on the wine, which makes it sparkle just a bit. I used my bow easy to make the bow. I just love that inexpensive little contraption. I have really gotten into using my copic marker - C2, to do the shading around images. I think it provides a little depth. Let me know what you think of this!
I have been away for 5 days at a cardmaking retreat at the Outer Banks of NC. It was me and two other women that I met online in a cardmaking group. We had the best time! We all made up card kits for eachother so we had cards to make. This is one that Faye designed. The funny thing is, I designed one that was very similar, just a different stamp. Here is the photo of that card. The cups from Stampin Up are awesome to use to put keepsakes in. The shells, sand, etc, were all gathered from the beach. These were so much fun to make.
Here is an easel card that I did for a swap. I just love these stamps. They are so fun to color. The butterflies are punched using a new Martha Stewart punch. They layer really well. Hope you enjoy this card!
Well, we went away for Easter to the Outer Banks of NC for a few days. I didn't make any cards, because I didn't take any of my supplies. I also didn't play any games on facebook (what a shocker) and we just had a good time. Here is a pic of my daugher and her boyfriend - who went with us. We are on the top of Jockey's Ridge, the highest sand dune on the east coast. We had beautiful weather while we were there, and had a great time.
