Monochromatic Thank You Card

Another set of thank you cards that I made.  The thank you stamp was new and inked with VersaMark and I used white embossing powder.  The under layer of pink card stock was embossed in my trusty Cuddlebug with one of their original folders - the flourish or swirl.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thank You Notes

I am making some thank you notes the family can send to people after the death of my mother.  My mother's name was Molly Beatrice but she went by Bea so you will find many of the notes have bees on them.

Here is the first thank you note.  This one used a new die I bought from Simon Says.  I found this double sided paper.  It looks like honeycomb on the side you see at the bottom of the card and the other side has little bees flying around on a blue background.  The stamp is by Inky Antics.  I am not really happy with the chalking now but six cards have it on them.

Come back another day to see more thank you cards.

Oldie Moldie Monday

I had to send a belated birthday card to my great nephew and this is what I came up with.  I believe the paper is Doodlebug.

I so hope to return to creating every day.

Quilt Thank You Cards

I got this wonderful quilt die cut from Gina Marie Designs.   I cut the design from 4 different pieces of paper so that I could paper piece 4 quilt blocks.  All the paper coordinates so makes it quite easy to  do 4 blocks.

On the next two cards, I colored the frame of the quilt square with a gray copic marker.  The border was not dark enough to set off the quilt block.  There is gray in the paper with the words printed on it.

The thank you is a Hero Arts stamp that I trimmed down to fit in the area.

Thanks for stopping by.

Oldie Moldie Monday

Monday - time to show some love for your old supplies.  I made a quick Christmas card.

This card is for the challenge at Merry Monday.  It is a multi challenge so you had lots to choose from.  I actually used four:  snowman, color challenge and sketch.

I used paper from My Mind's Eye (2013).  The stamp is from Paper Smooches colored with Copics.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hopefully I will be able to continue to keep up with my card making now.

Oldie Moldie Monday

It is Monday, time to show some love to your old supplies.  This paper is not that old but I have had it a year or two.  The paper is double sided so it makes creating a card very easy.

The curved edge was cut with Lawn Fawn dies.  The sentiment was found on the internet for free.

Remember to show some love to your old supplies.

Mixed Media Mojo April Challenge

It is the beginning of the month of April and time for a new challenge on Mixed Media Mojo.  The challenge for the month of April is to use something recycled and the twist is to use some metal on your project.

My project for the month is very simple.  One of my favorite art mediums is recycled book pages.  I have drawn my bird on a book page and also the background base for the card is a book page.

I have been drawing birds so this is one of my little birds I drew.  I really wanted to use the phrase "shake your tail feather" after I got done drawing and coloring the tail.  I did use a sticker from SRM Stickers for the Smile sentiment.  The card was created for an exchange I am in.

The yellow is Dylusions paint.  The teal and coral are ink intense pencils.

Here are some close ups of the bird and also the paper pleated ruffles on the bottom.

The bird is really teal and coral.  Love the lighting sometimes when you take pictures.

The metal on my card is a small washer type object which is around the eye of the bird.  It was adhered with glossy accents.

Please join us at Mixed Media Mojo this month.  Please recycle something and add a little piece of metal to it.
