 MMTPT512 - Sending Comfort

For me anything blue is comforting. I love the color and any time I see it on a card it is comforting to me.

This image was sent to me in an exchange. I colored it with copics and added nuvo drops to the flower centers. Cut down the image and layered on some teal and added some strips of DP. Finished off with the sentiment.

Copics used:

Blue Flowers

WT688 - Spotlight on Silhouettes

Sponged with distress oxides the sunset colors. Stamped the Unity image. Used this great fairy silhouette that Miss Susie sent me in a tea party exchange. Thanks Susie. I also layered her and did not glue the wings down on the second layer of her so that the wings open.

Only Imagine

Week of May 6th

I have had to hold off on posting cards to my blog because several were for Mother's day and birthdays and I needed to make sure people did not see them. So getting caught up this week.

 FS587 - Congratulations to Connie {aka Conniecrafter} on being our Featured Stamper this week! I found this CARD.

I love the card on an angle and ran with the layout. I needed a few cards and this was a great way to make a few different cards with the same great layout.

Grabbed my scrap paper bin and cut down the DP. Layered the card and added the ribbon as Connie had hers however I did not add the tied bow. I also did not add an image I added flowers from my stash of punched flowers that I am trying to use up. I trimmed the ribbon with paper punched lace and added nuvo drops to the center of the flowers.

This was great to make a few cards with this layout and the layout and layering makes for a wonderful card for any occasion. I added a birthday sentiment, wedding sentiment and mother's day sentiment to each of the three cards.
