Hi all.  I haven't posted for a month and I thought it was about time...Here are some of my most recent cards.

This card is being entered into the Art Impressions Blog Challenge, Laughing With You

 I made this get well card with card stock that I sponged to make it

look like the color of a band-Aid.  I embossed it with the Swiss dots 

folder from Cuttlebug.

 This card was made using a mask in the center and I used peg stamps from

Rubber Stamp Tapestry.

 This is a Zentangle card that I made.  The gem in the 

middle is called a Zen Gem and is done with colored pencils.

I love how the gem looks so real!

 This card was done with colored pencils. I matted it on to

embossed card stock.

I made this card for the husband of a friend that just

passed away from ovarian cancer.

This is another Zentangle stamp that was gifted to me.

I am going to a wedding next week for our former

associate pastor who got his own church last July.  I wove ribbon and

added the tiny pearls as well as the other embelishments.  It

is an easel card.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my latest work.  Please feel free to leave 

me a message and let me know what you think.

Till next time...

Some New Cards...

Hi all.  Here are some new cards that I have been working on lately...

This card was done with Ken Oliver's Color Bursts. 

This was hand painted with watercolors.

This card was done with colored pencils.

This card was originally a Zentangle Inspired Art piece that I did.  I reduced it to

make into a card.  I used colored pencils.  The color is much brighter

than it shows here.

This was hand colored and I used fun foam for the "praying" die cut.

Hand colored with colored pencils.  The inside says

"You are the cat's pajamas".

I was gifted several tangled stamps.  This was done with colored pencils.  This is just one of many...

Another tangled stamp with colored pencils.

This was a very old wooden stamp that I got from my advanced stamping

club.  They were getting rid of a lot of stamps from our library that were not

being used.  The inside says "Just another day in paradise".  It was done with colored pencils.

This card has been entered into dragonflyjourneys.blogspot.com's challenge.

Another tangled stamp done with colored pencils.

And yet another tangled stamp.  This is the only one that

I used alcohol markers for.

I used a Stampin' up stamp.  I used colored pencils and put it on the 

inside of the card.  I die cut the frame and Happy Birthday and punched

the butterfly.

This is a stamp that was given to me by another friend from my

stamping club.  I used colored pencils.

Hope you enjoy my recent work!  I love comments!!

3 New Cards

Hi all.  Today, I am posting some of my own, original work.  The Imagine That design team post will probably be tomorrow or Monday.  Meanwhile, I have been very busy.  My supply of cards is dwindling since my last big sale and I really need to replenish them.  My first card is made from one of my Zentangle® tiles.  I decided to attach it to the card with washi tape.  I was giving a demo in my stamping club and was showing some fun ways to use washi  tape.  

The second card is also done with washi tape for my demo.  Yep, that's washi tape
on the bottom of the card.

 The third card is one that I did for some challenges.  I will list them below...

This card is entered into the following challenges:

Delightful Challenges "You Have my Heart" challenge

Addicted to Stamps "CAS" challenge

Whoopsi Daisy "Tic Tac Toe" challenge (flowers, die cuts & digi)

Sentimental Sundays "More than 3 Layers + Sentiment" challenge

Meljen's Designs "Not Just Black & White" challenge

I hope you enjoy my original work for a change.  Let me know if you
would like to see more.

Till next time...
