12 Tags of Christmas - Tag 12

I created a sponged pond by masking and inking in a circle at the bottom of the tag. I then used shades of blue to create a an outdoor scene, stamped in my skaters and glittered the snow all around them. I really like the new basic pearls and rhinestones SU put out in this catalog. They come in a variety of sizes, perfect for any project. I think they added an elegant touch to this monochromatic tag.

Happy Birthday Poppy!

This is a card I created for my Mother's husband on his birthday. He loves trees and nature.

Black Leaves Sympathy Card

Can you believe it? I made a card using only one stamp set! I printed the sentiment on my computer first then just masked it off and stamped over it. The card was created for a client to send to a man that had just lost his wife, so I was trying for a more masculine look.

Deer Brother

It's hard to tell from the picture but the black photo corners are matted on gold photo corners then accented with a gold brad. I ran the stamped image through my laser printer to get the sentiment, I was actually surprised that this worked as well as it did, considering all the ink sponged onto this card. I'm not sure I like the composition, but then again I always have trouble with masculine cards.

Pink Winter

This is one of the cards I created for my client who likes trees so much. I don't think I even remember how to make a sunny, lush, green scene anymore, this has been the longest winter we've ever had. Come on Spring!

Lovely As a Tree - Thank you

Here is today's creation! It was a special order, requesting "a thank-you with a tree on it." I intended to make it more of a "spring" scene, but it appears I need more practice. It's not what I envisioned, but it's not bad.
