Artistic Daffodil

I combined all of my favorite things for this card. First of all the color combination I love yellow (this is the new "daffodil") and black. I also used two of my favorites from the new catalog, the Newsprint Designer Series Paper and the Artistic Etchings stamp set. Both of which are so versatile. I made this card for my Mother-in-Law and had to break out the sentiment from a retired set (Best Blossoms) because it expresses exactly how I feel about her.

Silver Tree Congratulations

At this month's stamp club I tried to show case some of the different things you can do with Stampin' Up's shimmer paint. On this card we first sponged an oval background in almost amethyst, then painted platinum shimmer paint directly onto the tree stamp (from Forest Friends) and stamped. We also used the platinum shimmer paint to paint the heart we punched from the Heart to Heart punch. Two very different looks from the same paint. This picture really doesn't do the shimmer in this paint justice. It's very vibrant in person and makes for inexpensive bling on a card.

Together Forever

Just another anniversary card I created for a client.

True Blue Valentine

Just another Valentine creation.

Valentine - Please Be Mine

This was cased from Splitcoast with my own personal touches of course. I wasn't sure how my faux Designer Paper would turn out, but I am suprisingly pleased with it!
