All of my cards are numbered so I can keep track of how many cards I've made along with the month and year I made them.
The layout designs that I use on my cards are provided from the design team at Freshly Made Sketches and Mojo Monday card challenges. The color schemes on some of my cards are compliments of the Color Throwdown card challenge. I owe my thanks to them for the use of these challenges.
Thank you for stopping by.

Mr. and Mrs

#602-2019-02.
I saw one similar to this one on Pinterest. I made a few changes to make this one my own, instead of an exact look a like of the one on Pinterest. The changes I made are... The bow is on the left instead of on the right, the sentiment is different, I added pearls, and I used my hearts embossing folder instead of a dots embossing folder.
Thanks for stopping by!

Celebrate

#601-2019-02.
The layout design for this card was my own idea. 

Congratulations

#600-2019-02.
I saw this card on Pinterest, so I made one similar to the one I saw.
For my card, the butterflies are different than the one on Pinterest. Also, I added the pearls and a sentiment to it. 
Thanks for stopping by.

My step-son is getting married in August, so I wanted to make him and his wife to be a special wedding day card. I started looking on Pinterest to get some ideas for a special card and I came across one like this one along with some other ones that I like.
I made this one first, and I am going to make the other ones I like as well. And then later on, I will decide which one I will be giving them on their wedding day.
I made a couple of minor changes because I didn't want my card to look exactly like the one I saw on Pinterest. I used a regular circle on a scalloped circle. I also changed the sentiment.
The top part is embossed with my dots embossing folder. The bottom part is embossed with my damask #2 embossing folder. 
The sentiment is from Hero Arts stamp and cut Yes.
Thanks for stopping by.

I am here for you

#598-2019-02.
I've been watching more videos on youtube, trying to learn more card making techniques. Now I'm trying my hand at creating sunsets.
It doesn't quite look like I wanted it to, but at least I tried. And I'm sure that with more practice, I will get a handle on it and my sunsets will turn out better.
This card is for this weeks FMS challenge. 
 The whole entire image is done with versa magic chalk inks.
Colors used are, yellow, orange, red, black, and white.
The sentiment is from Hero Arts So Sorry stamp and cut.
The birds are from Coastal clear stamp set.
The trees are a wood mount stamp.
Thanks for stopping by.

Thinking of you

#595-2019-02.
This is for this weeks Color Throwdown challenge.
Stamp sets used are :
Down by the seaside, Coastal, and All Year Greetings.
Versa magic chalk inks used are :
Spring Pansy, Sea Breeze, Mango, and Thatched Straw.
Other supplies used are :
Red watercolor marker and a paper piercing tool.
 For the background, I sponged spring pansy on first, then I sponged on thatched straw with just a hint of sea breeze. I used mango on the sun.
I used a red watercolor marker to color in the lighthouse.
My main goal was to make it look like there was a sunset behind my lighthouse, which is from the Down by the seaside clear stamp set. The bigger birds above the lighthouse are from the Coastal clear stamp set. The sentiment is from All Year Greetings clear stamp set. I used a paper piercing tool on the red border.
I had fun making this card for this weeks challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!

Fabulous Day

#594-2019-02.
My 12 year old niece has a friend whose birthday is this month, so she asked me to make a card so she can give it to her friend. And since the friend loves unicorns and rainbows, I couldn't resist trying out my new unicorn stamp and cut sets.
The unicorn and castle is from the Hampton Arts Unicorn birthday stamp and cut. The rainbow and sentiment are from Hero Arts Unicorn stamp and cut set. They are colored in with using versa magic chalk inks and watercolor markers.
I used the Clouds embossing folder and then versa magic chalk inks to give them some color. I also used a clouds crafting scissors to cut out the big clouds behind the castle and then I used 2 different versa magic chalk inks to give them color. First, I sponged on some Spring Pansy and then I sponged on some Thatched Straw.
My final touch was adding the silver gems after stamping on the sentiment.
 Thanks for stopping by!



You are Magical
