Scrap and Bean - cards for seniors - textured foil and stamped flowers

 Another two cards to be donated to Scrap and Bean for their cards for seniors event in June.  

1.  A green card with a coordinating quilted background (colour printed digital).  The center panel was stamped a while back with the flowers (SU).  I added the little greeting SU), blue ribbon and the silk flowers and then coloured the flowers to coordinate.  It was a bit tricky getting around the silk flowers but that is the way it goes when you create backwards.  I mounted this piece to a pink layer before mounting it to my card front. 

2.  This is one of my ATCs which I undid and then added the butterfly (Appalachian Arts) on vellum which I had in my stash.  I added the little greeting and then replaced the silver brads to hold the vellum in place.  The blue is embossed metal foil tape embellished with transparent acrylic paint.  I found a striped background that coordinated and mounted to a coordinating card and mounted my focal element with 3D foam tape.

Bright rainbow birthday card

This card is for my oldest grand daughter who is turning 14.  She is growing up and becoming a young woman.  I found this image of a girl with an umbrella (Judy Clement Wall) and thought it suited her well.  Before printing, I added a birthday greeting from Desert Diva leaving enough space in between to add ribbon or some other embellishment.  After trimming it out from the sheet I decided on the rainbow paper (Melstampz) so I coloured the image to coordinate.  I used gel pens and watercolour in combination to get all those little spaces coloured.  I added clear glitter to the raindrops, the puddles and the street light.  I added the blue ribbon, ran my pattern tracing wheel on the edges above the ribbon and then 3 little blue rhinestones below the ribbon.  There was enough room on the bottom to use a border punch to add some texture ( Martha Stewart).  I created a large black card, added the colour printed rainbow paper and then the large focal element using 3D foam tape.  Really happy with how it turned out.  Therese
