A few more cards from the series of cards I started a while back! These all use the same supplies and I am trying to follow a set of sketches I made in my first session!!
For this one, I glued my decorative paper piece to the top of my stamped and distressed yellow card front and then distressed my paper as well. I added my embossed flower accent on the bottom of the card front and added "laugh" above the flower. I did find a vellum greeting in my stash and added it to the lower right hand side. It is a bit grungy for the paper but works for me.
For this card I started with a pink card front. I cut my decorative paper into twelve inchies and glued them down as evenly as I could. I added wavy lines in between using a white gel pen. Adhered my embossed flower accent with 3D foam tape and added a bit of a collage as well. I stamped an "A" on my little heart tag and added a small piece of seam binding and layered it behind the stamped "delight" word. Just a bit of fun and I like the look!
For this card, I trimmed my decorative paper into five pieces and glued them evenly on the top of my yellow card front, added a green strip of cardstock which I stamped with a chunky homemade stamp in green ink, added my distressed and embossed flower accent with 3D foam tape over everything. Then I decided I liked the grungy look of my strip and did the same to the card edges. Added my "smile" word and a sponged greeting.
For this card, I created a weaving using two pieces of decorative paper both ripped into strips. I wove one set into the other using the pink for one set and the printed side for the other. I glued it to the card front and embossed it with a swirl embossing folder (TH) and then distressed the whole front using a sponge and green ink. After adhering my embossed flower accent I created another embellishment by stapling my "giggle" word to a tag using a small gold staple. The tag features some embossed ribbon I created when my sister was visiting a month or so ago.
For this card, I cut my decorative paper into 3/4" strips alternating the sides so they would fit into each other. In the end, once I decided to include the "bliss" word I just glued them on as I saw fit to the pink layer. I decided to emboss the right hand side of this layer using my small vine embossing folder (CB) and my little craft hammer so I could have the embossing just where I wanted it. I first learn this technique from Yogi! I adhered my embossed and distressed flower accent with 3D foam tape and then added my "bliss" word and greeting.
I will be sending a couple of these off for one of my card exchanges - not sure which ones yet and the others will end up in my stash. Was really fun to play with these again and I still have some supplies so more cards will be put up when I get them made.

Anniversary card
An anniversary card for a special couple!!
I started with a piece of decorative paper in teals and whites and added a gold layer to the back and glued it to my teal card front. I added some very textured gold ribbon and added my main accent over it using 3D foam tape. The gold embossed image I found in my stash and layered it over teal adding a laser printed greeting on transparency in between.
This one is going to be late!! Time simply got away from me and I only managed to get this one made this morning!! Doesn't happen too often and I heard they were going to be away for their anniversary so maybe it will arrive before they head home!!
