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.

Just a little note


#610-2019-06
You will have to forgive me if I don't say too much about my card! I have been dealing with a few health issues that have been preventing me from being able to make any cards for the last few weeks.
I am hoping and praying that the good Lord will help me to find out what exactly is going on with my body and that He will heal me, so I can get back to my normal life again.
With that being said, I was at Joann's the other day to see what kind of new craft supplies they may have and I came across these little paper packs that I thought the paper in them were really pretty. The background paper on this card is from one of those paper packs. 
The flower and leaves are from a pack of embellishments that I found at the Dollar Tree.
The sentiment is a stamp that came with a stamp & cut set I found at Joann's. 
The banner is a die cut that I have had in my own personal stock for quite some time now.
I decided to make this card a 5x7 inch card instead of the usual 4.25 x 5.5 inches.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you like my card.

The layout design for this card is from this week's Mojo Monday.
It's the Mojo Sketch 511.
I didn't realize that the name of the blog was changed to Poetic Artistry, so it's been a long time since I've posted a card on this challenge. 
With that being said, let me tell you about my card...
I chose a forest green for my card base.
For my card front, I chose a Sahara Sand cardstock, which is embossed with a dots embossing folder. 
Then I used a Slate blue which is embossed with a rose bouquet embossing folder. I gave it a chocolate brown border.
I also used chocolate brown for the scalloped circle framelit die. The white circle is a stitched circle framelit die. And the pine trees are framelit dies.
The sentiment is a wood mount stamp and is stamped with black ink.
I added the pearls to give it an added look.
Thanks for stopping by.

Just because

#583-2019-01.
I am entering this card in two challenges... Freshly Made Sketches and Color Throwdown.
Cardstocks used are white, black, pastel yellow, and light olive green.
Dies used are Flower layers #3, Flower heart thinlets  (or at least that's what Amazon called it when I ordered it), and scallop border punch.
The sentiment is from my All year greetings clear stamp set and is stamped on with Spanish Olive chalk ink by versa magic.
I added the butterfly and pearls just to give it an added touch.
I thank you for stopping by to visit. Please stop by again, and feel free to follow my blog..

Here's another card showing this weeks FMS364 card challenge layout design. The sentiment is from my Ribbon Messages stamp and cut set. I also used my new Fabulous Florets stamp set that I found and purchased on eBay. The butterfly was cut out using a monarch butterfly hand punch.
For my fabulous florets flowers, I used black ink to stamp them onto white paper. Then I used watercolor paints to color them. Then I sponged on a little bit of white ink onto them to soften the blue down a little bit.
 For my final step, I sponged on a little Always Artichoke ink around the outer edges of my card to give it an antique look. I did the same to my ribbon message banner. I hope you like my card and I thank you for visiting my blog.

Hey there

# 567-2018-11.
I found this thinlet die set online, so I ordered it. I thought it would look good on some cards.
I used a woodgrain neutral on top of a burgundy border for my cardstock paper. I used Always Artichoke ink to outline the stitched oval for the sentiment.
I really love the way this card turned out and I love this new thinlet die. I'm looking forward to using it on other cards in the future that I'll be making. I hope you've enjoyed seeing my card. I enjoyed making it for this weeks FMS challenge.
