Here is another card for this week's FMS card challenge.
Cardstocks used are white, lilac, light olive green.
Framelits die cuts used are scalloped border, ribbon messages stamp & cut, scalloped circle, stitched circle, flower heart, and monarch butterfly.
Stamp sets used are fabulous florets and ribbon messages stamp & cut.
For the fabulous floret, I used a copic marker to color it in after stamping it and cutting it out. I did the same thing on the purple scalloped border.
After adhering everything to my blank card, I added a few off white pearls. The sentiment is stamped with black ink. I sponged on a little of spring pansy ink by versa magic around the edges of my ribbon message.
This completes my card. Thank you for visiting my blog...

Sending Love

Well, we are starting a new year! I had a good Christmas spending time with loved ones and brought the new year in with my wonderful husband and niece. In fact, my husband and I just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary on January 2nd.
This is my card for this weeks FMS369 card challenge.
I used red, black, and white cardstocks. I sponged on some pink grapefruit chalk ink by versa magic around the edges of the white paper to kind of antique it a little.
For the big heart, I used a clear stamp from the Inkadinkado's Hearts clear stamp set. I stamped it on the paper with an embossing stamp pad and then used embossing powder and my heat tool. Then I added a hearts balloon embellishment.
I also used a pink, black, and red bakers twine with a red heart brad.
The sentiment is from hero arts "Yes" stamp and cut set, which is stamped on with black ink.
And to put the finishing touches, I added a few red heart gems.

Let it Snow

This is my card for this weeks freshly made sketches card challenge #368.

The patterned paper came from my Christmas combo matstack.

Then I used my snowflakes embossing folders on white paper. After that, I sponged them with marina mist ink to give them a little color.

The snowman globe is from some Christmas stickers that I recently purchased at the dollar store. I added the silver gems to a few of the snowflakes to bring them out a little more.

For my sentiment, I used a clear stamp with red ink on white paper. I used a stitched circle framelit die on top of a scalloped circle die cut out with olive green card stock. 

I hope you enjoyed your visit to my blog. Please come again!

Happy Birthday

I have an older sister who was born on New Year's day, so I made this card for her.
I used a damask embossing folder on white cardstock paper for my background image and then I sponged on some purple eggplant ink on the edges to give it a little bit of a border.
For my main image, I used a flourish die with Hunter green cardstock paper for the leaf design. The flowers are from the Stampin Up Fabulous Florets stamp set. First I sponged on some Spring Pansy chalk ink from versa magic to color them and then used a little Eggplant ink to highlight them. After adhering everything to a white blank card, I added the pearls to my flowers.
The sentiment is from a Ribbon Messages Stamp & Cut set. I used Hunter green ink for the stamp before using it's matching die cut. Then I used a little bit of eggplant chalk ink from versa magic around the edges to highlight it. I adhered it to my card using double sided dots. And this completes my card.
I hope you've enjoyed your visit and will visit again. Thanks for stopping by.

Christ is Born

#577-2018-12.
I received a new nativity die cut in the mail today and I was experimenting with it. This is what I came up with for it. This card is 3 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches.
For the background, I used my "border" embossing folder, which I sponged on some ink onto the outer edges before using a light blue water color paint on the border design.
I used a scalloped circle, which is embossed with white embossing powder to give it a little shine behind my nativity scene, which is cut out on navy blue cardstock paper. The sentiment is stamped on with black ink. I used 3 very tiny silver gems on the nativity.
