HAPPY EASTER~

Hello Friends!!!

I'm a little bit late with posting this entry as I have been gone all day and neglected to get this posted sooner. I just wanted to stop by and wish all of you a Happy Easter for those who celebrate it.

Here is a card I created for Swing Shift Designs:

This is a surprise pop up card I created using a vintage image from Spring 3 collage sheet. I used a blue chalk ink to distress the image. I also used a dark chocolate brown cardstock paper, a vintage white scallop lace, vintage music sheet for the background which is distressed with the Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink. I embellished the card with a handmade lace flower (plus paper flowers), a yellow beaded stick pin, a butterfly charm, and another image of the chicks are also from the same collage sheet. The chick image is then layered with UTEE and distressed with the Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink.

I hope you all enjoyed your day.

Thank you for stopping by.

MERRY CHRISTMAS~

Here is a Christmas Chunky ATC I created for Swing Shift Designs. I used various Vintage Christmas images from the Winter Wonderland & Christmas Angels collage sheets. There are soooo many wonderful images on these sheets to choose from. I think they are all so beautiful.

I used a Prima flower, lace trim, strand of pearls, gold wired ribbon trim, & one of my handmade beaded stick pin.



I decorated the top of the Chunky ATC with Wild Orchid Crafts mulberry paper roses, shimmery red ribbon (I had in my stash), and accented the large white rose with crystal stickles.



Here are pics of each side:




I added clear rhinestones, distressed the edges of the image and also stained the wood with Tim Holtz's Red Barn distressing ink.


I used a Wild Orchid Crafts paper poinsettia flower and background paper is from Recollection's Bright and Jolly paper pad. It's been my favorite paper pad all season long.
