The tree...

Wow I just love my new sets from flourishes and this set is called : Forest of trees... I used some marvy ink in three shades total for the back ground behind the tree. Then the tree still needed some color so I brushed on some light green shades on top of tree image. A nestie is used for layers that I colored dark brown and added some white dots and then added some twine for a natural element. I used the leafs from the set to make a side border...It's hard for me to think about fall because by flowers are still blooming outside and keeping me busy watering still. Soon here in Texas it will be time to rake leafs before I know it!!!

Pretty lace...

Morning all... Had to take a break from making Christmas Cards this morning and because watering my garden is my next stop I Made another flower card...
Details: I used a corner punch which I took off the casing and made a lace like paper to string my pearls. I then added different layers of paper, background paper being another paper I made using simple green. I cut out my lilac flower and water colored with water color crayons and a blender pen. I used nesties under word which I also colored with my blender pen and added some white gel pen dots...

I then used nesties for back ground that I layered and added white glen pen dots attached coat on nesties with pop dots. I then added cuttlebug snowflake strip to bottom of card then tied some ribbon. Two more layered nesties for words ho ho ho with some gel pen dots and embossed with clear...

In-Laws Christmas cards

Here are my In-Laws christmas cards so after I reached 120 I stopped counting. My In-law send out lots of Christmas cards each year and I have been making lots so they will have enough this Christmas because last year they still needed more. My Mother In-Law just loves snowflakes! Details: This snowflake is from stampin up and I embossed it with stampendous blue tinsel (opaque) on vellum. I then added some glitter dots, then added two different shades of blue paper strips to top and added some rub-ons. Snowflake is then glued under paper strips and then added to card front.
The second two cards: I used snowflakes done same as above. Then I used a punch for a window on bottom card and a nesties for window of middle card and glued vellum snowflake on back of window, tied with some ribbon, and glued on top of card adding some extra glitter dots around outside of scollop window.

My Mothers Christmas cards

Ok so here are a few of my Mothers Christmas cards for this year! I have made about 35 cards all total for my mother. Details: I Layered different nesties for the background that I inked using marvy ink a red and green, Then added some white and black gel pen dots all tied up with two colors of ribbon. The leafs and the poinsettia were colored with water color markers then clear embossed with ultra thick embossing power. I layered nesties with pop dots and poinsettia and tucked leafs under poinsettia to get a 3-D look, I stamped the word peace with black ink and added it to the bottom... The leaf stamp is from starvting artist, The poinsettia stamp came from Northwoods, and the word stamp is from hobby lobby. if you want to learn all about nestabilities from spellbinders and the wizard just copy and paste this youtube site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQJpHgDWlB0
