glittery flowers

If you have visited my blog in the past you will most likely realize that this is "our of the box" for me - I am pretty much "put an image over some dp or some embossed layers" kind of person - so the following inspiration challenge worked, I would say.  I am still a bit limited, with many of my supplies not in the RV for summer- as a result, thee are kind of funky flowers - big blossoms on tiny stems!  I used more glitter cs for the die cut hello.  Oh yes, the flower stems are die cuts - I used a stem on the Cuttlebug Olivia alpha set - used about 3 cuts for each stem.  You can't tell here, but the rectangles on the DP are also glittery.  The flowers are Petaloo, I think.

Missing friends

A member at our RV park asked me to make a card to send to their good friends who are moving away.  I had this piece of DP in my stash, and thought the signpost  was suitable.  I am not sure why it only shows two directions.  THe sentiments are part of a Paper Smoochies set - I like the font, and the sentiments that are a bit different.  The butterflies are cut with Spellbinder dies that I have had for some time.

Chalked stencil bg

I used a Tim Holz stencil and varied chalks for the bg design, on subtly patterned paper - with a die cut from an old Cuttlebug set. I was inspired by the layout at the Cutting Edge.
