Wild Roses

Good morning! Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Sister Act Card Challenge and their theme is anything goes... perfect! I had to make some cards that could be used for Mother's Day for Send a Smile 4 Kids Canada and Doodle Pantry's Wild Rose was a great choice. I printed the image onto whisper white cardstock and used prisma pencils and baby oil to colour them. Love how they turned out, fast, east and elegant!

What a great morning it is today. I have 9 more days husband free where I get to create, not cook supper and basically have fun since Robin's gone fishing, Awesome! He also took the camera I usually use for my photos so I tried my mom's. WELL its awesome, lol! The picture is crisp and clear and I LOVE it.

I made this card for my uncle who's turning 83 today.  Since its such a large image I made it very simple with the sentiment computer generated. The inside says Live, Love, Laugh Happy Birthday. I should have a double layout of 12 x 12 scrapbook pages tomorrow.

Wedding Wishes

My sister just came back from Paris France for a wedding and this is the card I made for her to give. I must say I struggled so much with a card that after a week of failed attempts I finally just went with traditional and made this one, lol!

I did a criss cross card in a metallic bronze I got for cheap, cheap because it wasn't selling!

I couldn't believe it, the colour is gorgeous and its so easy to work with. (I think I'm going to go and grab some more!) Add the vanilla to it and this photo doesn't do it justice. I embossed the outside of the card but just stamped the back of the card on the inside so my sister could write whatever she wanted to. 

We had a friend translate wedding wishes into French because Google translate doesn't really work for this!

I added some vellum butterflies with pearls and voila! I was very thankful when it was finally done.
