Girly # 3


Here's an oldie, but a goody!  I've made this card before, but here I changed it up to include pink (did I mention that my daughter's dance teacher loves pink?)  The vase is the large oval punch with just a sliver snipped off to make the base...

Girly #2



Here's the second card for my daughter's dance teacher...the first one was my prototype, but I found it too boring, so I tweaked it and the second picture is my final product....



Stamp Set: Always
Colors: Pixie Pink, Orchid Oppulance, Gable Green  (I got this color combo from the Color Wheel)  I can't wait to get my new Color Coach!

Ultra Girly


My daughter's dance teacher wanted some 'girly' note cards, so I obliged!  The first (of 4) is the girliest!  The Circle Circus stamp set provides the purse (I embossed with clear embossing powder)...the oval scallop punch and the large oval punch supply the handles and the Modern Label punch acts as the clasp...


Pixie Pink, Pink Passion, Basic Black, Whisper White

Smokin' on the grill!


Here's another really cute punch art BBQ...but this time I used the Swirly Big Shot Die (the long skinny one) and punched out some vellum to double as some smoke from the juicy burger (top of the ornament punch in Really Rust)...used the 1 3/4 punch as the BBQ body and Word Window punch for the legs...


Basic Grey, Going Grey, Basic Black, Really Rust, Ballet Blue (background), Brocade Blue (card base)

Elegant Hydrangas


Here's some watercolored hydrangas (blender pen and Classic ink) from the Hostess set 'Because I Care'...the one on the right is a bit nicer (I think) because my blender pen still had some Old Olive from coloring the leaves when I went to color the flower with Perfect Plum...I first colored the entire flower with Pale Plum and them highlighted it with some Perfect Plum....

Sweet Little Box....


Here's an adorable little (4x4) box---I should have taken I side view--it's only about an inch wide...I used the scallop square clear die and then embossed it with the Polka Dot embossing folder...the images are from the new Hostess set 'Punched Posies'...trying to come up with a use for the box (maybe Hot Cocoa packets and a Xmas theme for little gifts for neighbors or teachers)
