Most Favorite Card

I think of all the cards I have done lately this is my

favorite.  I think if you have great intentions and you are

creating for someone special sometimes the magic just happens!!  

So this special card is being sent to my Grandmother 

who is 95.  I wanted to make her something super special

to send and I found this old Penny Black stamp I had

and created this card for her.  I used Bo Bunny swirl

cardstock for the base and added Doodlebug Valentine

papers.  I also used my Fleur de lis Squares die and lg

Scalloped square dies to create the backround for my

cute little bear that I stamped and embossed and cut out.

For the coloring I used Copic markers and ribbons 

from May Arts.  The flower is from Prima and the little

leaves are from a Martha Stewart Punch.  To finish

it I added just a little bit of clear glitter and tiny pearls

around the outside of the scallop die... If you click

the photo you can see the glitter and embossing better!

Isn't she just so very cute?

This fun card was made with one of those stamps you get

in the dollar bin and I used some papers that I found while

cleaning up my room...It's really simple but the papers

mixed nicely and I embossed it so that I could mix and

blend the Copic colors to look more like watercolors.

I had some bakers twine that matched perfect too...

This last card today I thought would be great for

a guy for a birthday.  I have 2 brothers so it would

be great for either and not too fancy or frilly.

The papers for this card are from Websters Pages

mini pad and the stamp is from Hero's New Release.

I love how sometimes you can find the perfect paper

for your stamps and in this case I even had an embossing

folder that I used to spruce up the envelope!  Yay!

So that is it for today... the game was great yesterday

and had our crowd tense until that final throw into

the end zone!! Yikes... It was fun catching up with

everyone and going to spend today finishing a few 

projects for Valentines....

Thanks so much for stopping in

and have a great day everyone,
