Fantasy in green and purple

I

This week I procrastinated (more than usual) on a couple of challenges because I frankly could not come up with an inspiration.  Finally I recalled this pre-colored digi that has been in my files for a long time.  It is one more image that I saved without crediting the source, and I cannot recall where I got it - most likely a freebie.  Please let me know if you recognize it as I would like to give credit for it.  I used an embossed bg (Sizzix) and a CB border die to create the trellis - there is not much to see but it does kind of make me think of a ladder. 
The DP is Paper Studio, and the sentiment from Riveting by SU - which I cut with deckle scissors.  The stars are very shiny foam chipboard stickers - I got a large package of them on after-Christmas clearance.  I though they were too shiny -yet still worked for a masculine look.  I used a piece of chalk to smear a bit on one - rubbed it in a bit, and got purple stars with a bit of glitter.

Appreciation

This is to show appreciation to members of our church who go above and beyond in teaching and helping with many activities.  The image is Stampendous, colored with chalk pencils and shiny gel pens, and sentiment from my computer.  The DP is DCWV.  I use button brads for easier mailing.

Vintage Shoppers

Here is another humorous card.  The ladies are Art Impressions Golden Oldies Shoppers- rather vintage, don't you think?  I also selected some vintage looking prints, added some $$$ for the bingo, with brass trim.  I used Prismas and paper piecing as well as gel pens and some frilly brassy fiber.  The hat pin is Paper Pizzazz.

An angel to watch over you

I decided to use this angel on a spring like card - I have many friends who can use an encouraging word.  The image and Scripture are from the SU set On Angel Wings.  I used spring green cs and DCWV dp.  The embellishments are a gold cord, Spellbinders border die cut, and half pearls.

Sympathy with an oval

This is the card I intended to do yesterday, but I was interrupted and forgot to make it an oval!  I do not have much to use to create flowers with patterned paper, but I like the result when this stamp is used on subtle dp.  The stamp is Paper Inspiration.

For a boy

This image is High Hopes; the sentiment TPC; coloring with Prismas.  The DP is Hopscotch by Basic Grey.  I added star brads, and used the snowflake Embossing folder (CB) - I often use the snowflakes to simulate starbursts!  Some brown and white ribbon "holds" the tag.

HB, Lois L - in white

I seldom make a mostly white card for birthdays, but I wanted to complete some challenges, and I needed a birthday card for a friend - so here it is.  I think the layers are almost visible on the screen:  I used the Swirls EF (LifeStyleCrafts) and embossed scallops (Nesties) - as well as a bit of glitter - to add some dimension.  The image is a Sassy Cheryl digi which I colred with Prismas and Spica pen highlights.  The sentiment is Fancy Pants, attached with ribbon.  Lace and pearls are added at the bottom.
