I have been playing around with my new sets from flourishes, and this came out cute, I just wish more of the details on the poppy and the words showed up better in the picture, because holding the card the flower is really pretty with all it's layers and the color is just stunning...well I think it is! This I am going to be mail to a friend. This friend and I found each-other again after more then 30 years, she lives in Germany so this card must travel a long way...
On to the details: I colored the flower and the leafs with water color markers then I cut everything out, making a extra top for the flower cutting out of middle on this extra top. I wanted this flower to really look dimensional, I colored with three colors and added white gel pen to the vines of the flower. I embossed flower top and leaves. stamped saying on round chipboard with black ink then put some ribbon behind. I stamped word poppy with chocolate chip ink and added some gel pen dots, background is made with marvy ink and simply green...

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

This was made with my new stamp set from Flourishes. I made the background paper with marvy ink (three colors) and simple green. Then I used embossing power to coat and glued with a black border,Then I added my flower which I made extra leafs so they would pop a bit and some white spots to the flowers with a white gel pen, that was also embossed with clear. Then the tag has three layers which I colored with water color markers, added word and some dots, then you guessed it embossed, i love the look of embossing. some pretty ribbon was added purple and pink. Thanks for looking and I hope you play along too...

THE SECRET GARDEN!

Ok so I was just playing with my stamps on the bathroom wall of my Daughters bathroom...What do you think? I used lots of different elements on this wall and my Daughter seems really happy with her own little secret garden! Everything on this wall is clear embossed and layered for a 3-D effect. My Daughter and all her Friends have their hands all over the wall making the butterfly wings go up and down, so if it can withstand a bunch of teenagers I think it's on the wall for good...

Well this is just a quick card using rub-ons and chip board to work on my picture taking,watermark and new photo element 6 program. I Think I'm doing better, atleast my pictures don't need to be taken outside anymore. I could only take pictures on a sunny day when the wind was not blowing, so wow is this a big improvment for me!

I can take pretty pictures atlast!

My Brother in-law is here for a short visit from the Windy City and all I can say is Wow has he ever helped me! Thanks you Chuck I owe you big time. Directions for making this card will have to be added later because the freg repair man is on his way ! So thanks for looking...
