Smypathy again....

 Today's is another Sympathy card......and I based it from another card maker ; "The Creative Closet" 
 Cindy has such a clean style, but I can never match it.....
Here's my try;

 With out the white strip going across it, it makes it quit dark, but I had already GLUED down the velum (bad move)... the next one I will use the white strip for sure......I did used clear Wink of Stella on the flower but can't see it here very will, it kind of looks like dust....that did help brighten it some, but not enough.

 

Here's the inside, I used a strip that I cut off from the front on the inside...

Sympathy

 These are the hardest cards to make........
Today I made a few on the style of : "That's MISTER Cardmaker"
 card here..... check his out and see what you think.
Here's my version;

 

I used these Peacock Feathers because I didn't have any nice flower dies.... but like this look too....

I painted them with Twinkling H2o's that I had, but never think to use...

 

This is a little closer shot but you really cant see all the twinkling like I do in person.  sorry...

Just another reason Sympathy cards are so hard to make.  You don't want them to showy but then not to plane either.... 

What do you think?

Late Birthday!!

Why is it I make so many cards and I still send them late...... will anyway here's another BD card using Stampers Anonymous Bird Crazy stamp and die sets.... I must confess I stamped colored and die cut all the birds this week and now I'm using them on cards...
 this is the first one......

The base card is some old paper I've had by Scenic Route Paper Co.... it's nice and heave and double sided too, you'll see on the inside. I die cut the ballon and then popped the whole thing up and filled it with some bling I had... also used some google eyes on the bird too...

and here's a nother shot of the front, I think you can see how I popped things up better on this shot.


This is the inside... I like how it truned out, so now on the the other Birds.........

Great Things!!!!

Here's something a little different today.....
This is from a Flourishes stamp set called Fuchsias in Bloom (SS126),,, sadly Flourishes is no longer being made, so glad I have this one in my collection.
Here's the front.... I colored it with my Zig's brush pens, and used the Spellbinders die set called Resplendent Rectangles (S5-147)...

Now the butterflys I just cut out of some scrap papers I was using... they are so pretty all sparkly already so just had to do some fussy cutting......The top one I curved the wings a little and put some foam tape under the wings the other one I just left flat and attached it with foam tape too...

Here's the inside.....

this saying came with this stamp set along with the border stamp I used across the top....
Will that's it for today!!!

Hop! Hop!

Hi Again....
Let me show you two more cards I made using another Art Impressions stamp set called Hop Hop (UMU4388). What a FUN stamp this is, guess that's why I had to make two of them.....
Here we go..........

both of these I colored using my OLD set of SU-Watercolor Crayons, for the edges I used Ranger inks and a black Mementos marker just to make the die pop.  The die on the left is called Tile Works (S5-193) and the die for the right card is called Labels 40 Decacarative Elements (S4-467).
Here they are one at a time.


and the other one....


I only did the inside of the first card so far... not sure what I'll be doing with the second so left it blank for now.


This is from a Technique Tuesday stamp set called O Shoot (OhSho).... love this and know I will be using this one a lot.
