I haven't made any cards in quite a long time, so I thought I would try making one again. It's been really hard for me to be able to stand up long enough to make cards. I have a degenerative disc and Facet Arthropathy in my lumbar spine which causes me great pain. Facet Arthropathy is arthritis of the Facet joints which causes disc degeneration in the spine.

And then last year in April, my mom became very ill and her health started declining. She just recently passed away on February 17th this year. It's been a very difficult time for my sister's and I dealing with the death of our mother.

Anyway, on to my card. Pretty much all of it is self-explanatory. What I do want to say about it is that for the flowers, after using the die cuts with white cardstock, I sponged on the distress inks to give them some color.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you like my card, which is a 4.25"x 5.5" card.

Thanks for stopping by.

You are my sunshine

Supplies used are :

Life is sweet stamp set from Fiskars,
Label framelit dies,
Stitched circle die
Scalloped circle dies,
Clouds framelit dies,

I used Mustard seed distress ink to distress the outer edge of my card front, which is embossed with Pinking stitch embossing folder.
I used a stitched circle over a scalloped circle and then stamped on the sunshine and then used a yellow and an orange Artskills markers to color it in.
I used pastel blue cardstock paper with clouds framelit dies for the clouds.
The sentiment is from Life is sweet stamp set from Fiskars, which is stamped onto a label die cut.

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.
