5th Anniversary Card

Today is our 5th Wedding Anniversary, and I made this card for my dh. I used the challenge at Splitcoaststampers to use embellishments we are thankful for - F4A90. Well, I don't know if everyone would consider embossing folders embellishments, but they are one of my favorite things to use on cards. They just add so much texture and interest. I did the embossing and used chalks and copics for coloring. tfl

Little Bundle of Joy

This card is for today's Splitcoaststampers' Sketch Challenge - SC358. Just got this cute little baby bear embossing folder from Darice. Love it! Never seem to have enough baby cards, so thought I'd make some up. I chalked the little bear to make him stand out, as he seemed to get lost with some color. The Little Bundle of Joy stamp is the Punches Three set from Stampin' Up. I stamped it with VersaMark and Chocolate Chip ink, then heat embossed it. tfl

Howdy Pardner

This card is for Splitcoaststampers' Color Challenge - CC348 - cajun craze, kraft, and tempting turquoise. When I saw this pic of a trio of cute little donkeys it reminded me of my manicurist, as she is the only person I know who has a pet donkey. Aren't they soooo cute???!! So...I made this card for her. I made the sentiment on my computer. tfl

Autumn Thanks TLC350

This card is for Splitcoaststampers' Technique Lovers Challenge - TLC 350 - No Stamps Allowed. I used my new embossing folder by Darice...LOVE this ef! Embossed it onto Core'dinations cs and sanded, then colored the leaves with watercolor markers. Printed the thank you and did some more dry embossing and chalking. Oh, and the leaf is from a beautiful weeping birch we have out front. tfl

Autumn Thanks

This card was inspired by the above picture from Week 1 inspiration challenge from http://justinspirationalchallenges.blogspot.com/.

I've also drawn inspiration from
Challenge #22 - Embossing and/or 3 or More Layers at http://heartsonginspirations.blogspot.com/. I heat embossed my image and then used watercolor crayons and an aquapainter on them. Stamped the THANKS on the side, added a cute little glittery leaf button with some raffia, and Voila! tfl
