Step into my Garden

Hi Everyone,

I have a quick post showing  a card using a few dies and one gorgeous stamp. One die set I used is from Sizzix, a tiny lily. Another die I used is from Impression Obsession and that dies called Hollyhocks. And that stamped image is from Serendipity Stamps.I have the whole alphabet and each letter is gorgeous.

Let me share the card with you.

Here is a close-up of the lilies and that stamped image.

And last but not least, here are the stalks of hollyhocks

When making this card, I used a brick wall embossing folder on the celery green panel. I rubbed over the raised design Lavender Bloom dye ink from Fresco to bring out that brick design. Love those inks.

You're My Rainbow

Hi Everyone
Hope you all are having a great holiday weekend. I want to share a card today that might be more appropriate if it were a rainy day. And this weekend we are not supposed to have rain here in the Cincinnati area. So I guess you can save this one for a rainy day.

This card is an easy one to make.On a strip of card stock, color the umbrellas in various ink colors and stamp them in a few different positions. I mounted the umbrella strip on a slightly larger blue card stock strip and attached it to the card front.

Next I stamped and colored the rainbow on white card stock, fussy cut it out and attached it with dimensional foam. I stamped those cute little clouds on white card stock and fussy cut those out too and they are attached with dimensional foam as well. Adding the sentiment at the bottom of the card finished it

Happy Mother's Day

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for stopping in today. Just wanted to share with you a card that I put together in honor of Mother's Day.

Unfortunately my mother left some 20 years ago, but I think of her daily and miss her still. I know she is watching over me from above.

I am "mom" to 3 furry babies and they depend on me every day. I adopted 2 of them 13 years ago and the third cat adopted me 3 years ago. So this card is for you Mom and for everyone.

Hope you enjoy the day wherever you happen to be!!

My bow was made using my Craft-Dee BowZ. I use it virtually every day on some project. Makes a perfect bow every time.The image I used is from The Graphics Fairy and is called Vintage Mother's Day Illustration, a perfect image to use for a Mother's Day Card..

I am submitting this card in the following challenges:

• 4 Krafty Girlz - # 17 Anything Goes (#288)
  
• Charisma Cardz - Mother's Day 
• Creative Knockouts  #36 Ribbons and Bows (#25)

Thank you so much for stopping in today, have a great Mother's Day and a great week.
