You're Special

I created this card for Mojo Monday 191 and this weeks H2H Challenge. I used CTMH's Daydream paper pack, and acrylic stamps B1335 Be Yourself Flourishes and B1334 Enjoy the Journey.







H2H's challenge this week is to make a card using your favorite technique. My favorite is handmade paper roses. There is a tutorial here:

Love Is A Canvas

I created this card for H2H's current challenge, use your favorite technique.

The papers are from CTMH's Veranda, Cardstock is Olive, ink is Cocoa, and the flower was colored with Crystal Blue and Olive markers. The sentiment is from D1198 The Gift of Love, and the little flower stamped with it is from C1389 So Sweet.




Techniques I used:

1. Paper piecing
2. Paper Layering
3. Use up your scraps
4. Paper distressing with ink
5. Coloring on your stamps

Of these, my favorite is taking scraps of paper and making something beautiful out of them.







I also love playing with several layers of embellishments, and here I used ecru crocheted lace and CTMH's green buttons with little pearls added to a couple of them.





Thanks for looking!

Know I Care

Cards for Mother's Day

I had a more difficult time than I thought I would making some simple cards that I could MAIL for Mother's Day! Whew! I've made too many flowers lately. :o)

This card was created using an embossing folder from SU, CTMH ink Crystal Blue, and the sentiment is from Verve..





This next card was created with the same Verve sentiment and CTMH Crystal Blue ink. The lacy layer under the sentiment is from spellbinders, and the stamped rose is an older stamp from CTMH, Forever Roses. The rose was colored with the waterbrush and ink pad.





This last card is all CTMH. Crystal Blue and Sunny Yellow papers, Crystal Blue ink. The stamp is also from CTMH and is colored with chalks.
