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.

Thanks so much for checking out my blog. I hope you enjoyed your visit.

This is a 5.25 x 5.25 inch card.

Pink Grapefruit VersaMagic chalk ink,

Flowers clear stamp,

Essential Sayings clear stamps,

Lavender craft ribbon,

Butterflies,

Pearls,

Scalloped square stencil,

Scalloped border punch,

Purple cardstock,

White cardstock.

I made my own scalloped square stencil and layed it over my card base. Then I sponged on the 2 colors of chalk inks and then stamped on the flower's.

Then I glued the corners of the scalloped border together before using adhesive tape to adhere it to the card base. 

Then I added the craft ribbon, sentiment, and butterflies to complete my card.

Please feel free to follow my blog to get updates when I post future cards.

I was on Facebook and I saw a card that was made by Tami White and she gave a brief description of how to make a perfect circle on a card. So I gave it a try and here is the result.

First, I made my own circle stencil by taking a circle die and cutting out a circle using a piece of poster board. Then I layed it on top of the piece of cardstock that I used for my picture. 

Then I stamped the lighthouse and cut it out and then I briefly taped it down so I could sponge on the sunset colors.

After doing this, I removed the temporary lighthouse that I used for a guide for the sunset and then I stamped the lighthouse on in place of the temporary one.

Then I used a yellow copic marker to color the door and the top of the lighthouse. I used a red colored pencil on the lighthouse.

The sentiment is from the stamp set pictured above. It's from M.S. Sparkle and Co. I stamped it and hand cut it out and the used double-sided adhesives to adhere it to the card. The birds are from a stencil that I have. The stamp set that has the lighthouse is called "Coastal".
I hope you have enjoyed seeing my card. I made it for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

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 Poetic Artistry's Mojo Monday challenge.

I couldn't decide on which other patterned paper to use with the one I chose, so I just used one kind of printed paper for the whole card. This particular printed paper is from my watercolor pastel paper pad. I also used black cardstock for the border on my layers.

The beginning layer is 4" x 5 1/4". The second layer is 3 1/2" x 4 1/2".

The third layer is 2" x 5 1/4". And the fourth layer is 2 1/2" x 4".

The circle is a 2 1/2" circle.

The bee that is just above the sentiment is from Ms. Sparkle & Co. stamp and die set (pictured above). The other bee is from Fiskers Beary Fun rubber stamp set.

The sentiment is from Essential Sayings clear stamps. I adhered it to a lavender craft ribbon and added a few Pearls.

This completes my card.

Thank you for stopping by to visit my blog. Whether you simply just like my card and you want to let me know what you like about it, or you want to let me know that there's something missing that could make this card look better, all comments are welcome and appreciated.

Just a little note

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.
