Easter Card

Good Morning!

I have one more card for Viva la Verve's Week 4 sketch.  :)

The sketch, again...
For my take on it, I realized I was one short on Easter Cards, so I followed the sketch again and came up with this...

Details: The image is one I printed from my computer.  I used liquid pearls, stickles and a Viva Decor Pearl Pen to make the flowers and cross pop.

Week 4, again

Hello again!

I decided since the last card I made for Viva la Verve Sketches wasn't my favorite, and since I really didn't feel like cleaning the house lol, I would make another card.  :)

 The inside I made a pocket, so I can insert whatever I need the card for...


Viva la Verve Week 4

Good Morning!

Viva la Verve put up the sketch for week 4 yesterday!

The sketch...
My take on it...

While I love the paper I used, Heartfelt Creations, I think the card is missing something.  I may just have to make another one with this sketch.  lol

Have a great weekend!

Gelato holiday cards

Good Morning! 

I have two cards today, one for Easter and one for Mother's Day.  Both of them were made using my Gelato's.  For the Easter card, the stamp is Verve, the bunny was made using my Cricut Expression (last year lol) and the background page is from DCWV.


 Below I created a pocket on the inside using some of background paper and glued down the sides and bottom so I can insert a tag when I get that far.  :)
The Mother's Day card was stamped on top of a piece of white watercolor paper I had coated in Gesso.  After coloring it in 3 shades of blue, I added a touch of gesso where I was going to stamp my sentiment.  I used blue Zing embossing powder after stamping with versa mark. 

The corner is one I made using my spellbinders die, colored it with Gelato's and coated it with clear embossing powder and adding some stickles to it. 
  The bow I made using the the bow maker my awesome hubby made for me over the winter.
Have a great day!

Mojo Monday #390

Good Morning!

Mojo Monday posted sketch #390 yesterday.  I actually had a hard time with this sketch for some reason.  It took me a long time to pick out the papers I wanted to use, but I finally did it.  :)

Viva la Verve Week 3

Hello!

I hope everyone had a great Sunday!  I played along yesterday with Viva la Verve Sketches, week 3 and I loved how my card turned out... so I made another one.  I really liked this sketch.

Viva la Verve Week 3

Good Morning!

It's Week 3 over at Viva la Verve Sketches and I just finished up my card. I had it all cut out last night, but was waiting on the liquid pearls to dry.  :)

The sketch...
My take on it...
A detail photo....
I made my own card base this time, so that it opens upward instead of over.  Honestly, I did it because I needed the card base 1/8 inch bigger than the store bought ones I had on hand.  :)
Like I did when using up my scraps last weekend, I really like making a small pocket on the inside.  That way I can just insert a blank piece of white paper now or wait until I need the card and then type something.  No worries about matching paper or anything else, because it's already done.

Have a great weekend!

Good Afternoon!

I was able to finish up my card for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  While this one wasn't totally made with scraps, I do love how it turned out.  :)  I used Heartfelt Creations paper and a Verve stamp with embossing powder.

My take on the sketch, but turned ....

Viva la Verve & Mojo Monday #389

Good Morning!

I have two cards today, using Mojo Monday's sketch and Viva la Verve sketches for week 2.

Viva la Verve Sketch...
My take on it, still using scraps from my K&Company stash ...

Mojo Monday Sketch...
My take on it, using scraps from another K&Company paper pack.  I also used my Gelato's and Spellbinders to create the background square for my flowers, that I printed of my pc. ...
Depending on how my days goes, I'll  hopefully be back this afternoon with my Tuesday Morning Sketches card.
