Happy birthday

Supplies used are :

Flourish Thinlet dies
Paper butterflies
Handmade Essentials (Sentiment)
Pearls,
Peacock feathers distress ink
Mowed lawn distress ink.
Close to my heart embossing folder.

This is a 5"x7" card.
After embossing the card front, I distressed it using Peacock feathers distress ink.
Then I ran my Flourish thinlet dies through my BigKick machine to cut them out to use them as my theme. I situated the flowers together and then used a little dot of glue to glue on the pearls.
Then I situated the leaf pattern and then added the butterflies.
For the sentiment, I layed a stencil on a piece of white cardstock, traced it out, then cut it out and distressed it with Mowed lawn distressed ink.
The sentiment is from Handmade Essentials clear stamps from scrapbooking.com. It is stamped on with black ink and is adhered on with double-sided circles.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

Thank you

Our local Joann's craft store still has a bunch of stuff on clearance, so I bought a pack of embellishments for $2.97, which is where this flower embellishment came from.

The patterned paper that I used is from Dots and Stripes paper pad.

The sentiment is from Flowers stamp and cut by Hero Arts.

The butterfly is a hand punch. I added the pearls and sequins to give this card a little bit of integrity and texture. 

This is card #2 for this week's freshly made sketches challenge. I hope you like it.

The second picture is a few of the supplies that I used for making this card.

The butterfly is a hand punch. I glued some super tiny gems on it. 

I also added the pink pearls with the sentiment.

I used a banner embossing folder.

I used Rich Razzleberry stampin' up ink (pictured above) for both parts of the sentiment.

For the Iris and its stems, I used ink from StudioG.

The stamp and cut set that I used for the sentiment is called "Conforms to" by Hampton Arts.

I sponged on the blue background after I stamped on the bird on a branch.

Then I used copic markers to color the branches and I used a black colored pencil to highlight the bird.
The sentiment is from a little clear stamp set that came with a banner die from M.S. Sparkle and Co.
Then I added the pearls and highlighted the edges of the banners.

The layout design for this card is from this week's freshly made sketches challenge.
I hope you've enjoyed my card for this week's challenge.

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.

My step-son is getting married in August and he and his fiance have decided to have earth tone colors for their wedding. So, I made this earth tone wedding card. 

I used a dots embossing folder and a damask 2 embossing folder, along with flower heart die cuts, scalloped circle framelit, circle framelit, ribbon, pearls, and a butterfly.

The sentiment is from Hero Arts stamp and cut Yes.

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!

Congratulations

The layout design for this card is for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #366 card sketch challenge.
I used a damask embossing folder for the background image, which I highlighted with red ink to give it a border against the white blank card.
I used a green ink for the leaf from the fabulous florets stamp set. The flowers are from fabulous florets stamp set as well. First I used a pink watercolor paint to paint them and then I sponged on a little red ink to highlight them.
My sentiment is from the ribbon messages stamp & Cut clear stamp set. I highlighted the ribbon with red ink. Then I added a pearl to both flowers and to the sentiment ribbon.
The butterfly is from a sticker set I bought at the Dollar store.
