Brackets & Butterflies

Playing around with the bracket label punch, butterfly punch and some DSP!

Interrupted Rainbow

A sympathy card.  I was inspired by the card from Queen Cindy.
Very simple!

Chickadee Layered Framelits Retro

 

This card is for two "retro" challenges.

The "retro" color challenge at Splitcoast.  I used the colors Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade and Basic Gray.

 

The layout comes from Retrosketches.

 

 

I used two edgelits and two framelits and the die "little leaves".

I just love this chickadee image!

Happy Hello Tree

This is a card using the color challenge today from Splitcoast - Pacific Point, Certainly Celery, Crumb Cake.

The layout is from Techno Stamper.

One of the reasons I love this set "Easy Events" is because it has 8 images and 8 sentiments.  This allows you to easily mix and match the sentiments with the images (or use them separately).  I used "happy" from happy birthday and "hello" and cut them out and put them together.

I used the embossed frame on this tree image and I used versamark to add a bit of color to the image.  Embossed with houndsooth, added button and twine, corner rounder and patterned paper.

I am doing a class this month featuring this set.  I just love it!

New Queen... QFTD110

Here are my two cards for the Queen for the Day Challenge...

Using my Awash with Flowers set and the sentiment from Easy Events.  I hand drew the flower stems.

Using the "telescoping image technique"  Really easy to do with framelits!

How many types of embellishments can you count?  Mini brads, clear rhinestone, button, twine, ribbon.

I used two retiring backgrounds - Medallion and French Filigree.

The layout of this card comes from Pals Paper Arts

twine edging

The technique challenge today was to use TWINE in a different way! I pierced the holes around my frame and then threaded the twine through with a needle.

I also added a little twine bow to the sentiment.

For the frame I used my scallop square to punch a hole and also rounded the corners. It is popped up over the owl (with sponging) on the island indigo paper.

I decided to do an embossed background only half way.



I think this card will end up going to my husband or one of my kids!

The owl image and sentiment are from a retired SU set "goody-goody gumdrops"
