Girls Need Options & Giveaway

This card was sent to my daughter at school with a box of clothing "options".


Front sentiment:  A girl need options.

I caved and asked for Copic markers for Mother's Day.
I resisted for so long because of the price. Yikes!!!
This is my very first card using them.

Struggle Is Part Of The Story

Here is an encouragement card.


Front Sentiment:  The struggle is part of the story.

I love this stack of books and encouraging sentiment to offer support.
I gave it a rustic look, like an old school library with brick and text print.
This could be used for school, graduation, thank you, teacher, student or continuing professional education course work.
I love how true the sentiment is.

My Anchor Embossed Card

Here is a nautical card in gold, black and white.


I wanted to use this anchor and incorporate bold stripes with it.
I think this would work for a man or woman, Father's or Mother's Day and any love occasion.

Tea Party Shaker Card

Another shaker card.
This time for my niece's vintage birthday tea party invitations.


Front sentiment:  It's a little party.

I mixed metallic sequins and star iridescent glitter confetti to accent the adorable tea kettle and cups.
Of course, it sparkles much more in person.

Pretty Poppies in Bloom

Welcome Spring!!!

Here is a colorful poppy card with a simple "hi" sentiment.


I adore these great big poppy flowers.
One of the flowers pops up a bit.
I really like the colors together in pink, turquoise, black, white and silver.

This card was designed with inspiration from a couple of challenges and the colors in my cosmetic bag by Lancome Paris.
