For You.......

Today I am showing you a couple of sympathy/Thinking of you cards I had made some time ago. I forgot to share them with you.As you'll see these cards are very simple .

First card I used the Tim Holtz Birdcage and bird die.The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye. I believe the sentiment is from Hero Arts. 

This next card I made for a very good friend.She lost a loved one shortly after I had lost my Aunt.Not that wanted this to happen to anyone,it was nice to console each other knowing what we each were going thru.The sentiment is one of my favorites from Cornish Hertiage Farms.The papers are from Bo Bunny "Welcome Home".

Hanging with my Peeps...at High Hopes Stamps

Today we have a new challenge for you at High Hopes Stamps Challenges. Are you ready for a Recipe.... nope not for Easter cookies lol. Let see you use these ingredients on your project :

1 Ribbon

2 Pattern Papers

3 Flowers

and of course as always please use a High Hopes image :)

Today I used this cute little bunny called Hare's my heart from Laurie Furnell. I decided to give him just a hint of pink.Very quick and easy to color up.I also used the Hoppy Easter image on the inside of the card.I paper pieced that and added some liquid pearls to the egg.

My papers are from We R memory Keepers.This is the cutest easter line.Love all the pastels..and the Hanging with my peeps was in the paper that I cut out.

Sitting here thinking of you

I bought this CC Designs stamp and couldn't wait to get her inked up!!

She is adorable.I bought the matching mushroom set .....just had to.lol

I used one of my all time favorite paper lines from MME "Breeze" I just love the blues greens and browns together.You must forgive my coloring of the mushrooms.I have NO clue how to do so.More so than anything else I color.The mushrooms were colored and  pieced onto the die cut background.They come separately. 

There is all kinds of goodies going on here.With lace ,ribbon,die cuts,flowers,bling ,glitter 

and pearls.lol

Here's a close up of the flower I 3D'. I actually embossed it with Chocolate twinkle powder.It's hard to see the sparkle.

I also was excited to use these papers from Bo Bunny.Love the vintage ,soft pastel colors.Patel coloring is a struggle for me.But all one can do is practice.How do you love those chipboard accents.I had fun inking and spriting and painting those babies up.Whatever stuck on I went with it.!
