A fun birthday card I made really fast the other day. The paper and ribbon seem to make it. I used some packaging for cream to make the gold butterflies. Hope you have a wonderful Friday.
Hugz!
Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away. I have a combo creation - journal page and card. On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso. I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps. Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it (seriously). The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso. Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off. I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be). The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page. I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....
So pretty, Nancy. The gold butterflies really pop against that dark paper.
ReplyDeleteThe snow came for a while but the flakes were so tiny I could hardly see them. Just a few miles away, it was really coming down from what I saw on the news. Shucks! I want a big snow. :-)
Fabulous design and great paper choices. I can see how it would make itself.
ReplyDeleteIt took us 6 1/2 hours to come from Nashville to B'ham yesterday. Normally, it's a 3 hour drive. I almost typed in "tour" instead of drive as the Gilligan's Island song popped in my head :-). Cullman County was a nightmare to go through - lots of ice and snow and wrecks on I-65. Luckily we made it safely, but wouldn't want to drive through that stuff again.
This is so sophisticated, Nancy, and I adore those lovely warm colors. A beautiful creation for this fine Friday! I hope you have a super weekend, my friend! :-)
ReplyDeleteAn elegant card. I have that designer paper, and you are right it's makes great cards...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the nice comments on my blog...In regard to my paper bag books. I find them to be very addicting, I want to make a couple more. I like the fact, that not only are they easy to make, they are also quite inexpensive too. I like your idea of putting recipes, etc. in the paper bag pockets. In fact, one of the friends that I gave the book to, is going to make one herself, and do just that...make it a recipe book with extra recipes in the pockets to pull out.
Very elegant! Love that you let the beautiful DP do the work! Gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteYummy paper and I just love the shape of your focal panel - not to mention the gold butterflies. Great card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Card!! So glad to see your computer up and running again. Missed you :-)
