Birthday card featuring a very interesting perspective of a biker and font greeting

 I really liked this image when I was searching on line.  I sponged the trimmed image starting with yellow in the lower middle and built up colour from there with a darker yellow, green, then blue and just a bit of purple.  The font greeting was added before printing.  I added some paper piercing with my pattern tracing wheel, some texture with my fine tip Sharpie marker on the bottom edge and for yet more texture three diamond brads on the upper right hand corner.  I stamped the edge of my gray card with an all over image in black ink and then mounted my large image using 3D foam tape.  I have really enjoyed the challenge of making cards for kids who love trail riding with their bikes.    Therese

Father's Day card featuring stars, all over embossing and a greeting in a silver frame

This Father's Day card features white stars embedded in a red background which has been embossed with the D'vine Swirl embossing folder (CB).  I added a silver framed font greeting with black brads before mounting this large layer to a black card.  I love  how striking the contrast is and how the embossing unifies the background.

Friend card featuring a panel die cut with round opeing, an image with roses and a little greeting on a tag

This card started with a dark red card to ccordinate with the roses.  I trimmed the ivory panel from a used card and die cut a circle from it.  I mounted the colour printed digital rose image (Calico Collage) behind the opening and then added a lot of lines of paper piercing using my pattern tracing wheel.  I mounted this layer to my card front and worked on my greeting.  I started with the "hello friend" greeting (Desert Diva) which I found in my stash and cut a tag to layer behind it.  I embossed the brown tag using the Scripty embossing folder from SU, distressed it edges and those of my greeting also and added two little flagged ribbons in a soft green to the back.  I mounted the greeting to the tag and then added it to the lower portion of my card using 3D foam tape.  In hindsight the greeting might be just a tad large for the card but I like it anyway!
