Trees of Hope WT340

This card is for today's Splitcoaststampers' Ways to Use It Challenge - WT340 - chalkboard technique. I stamped my image on Night of Navy cs with white ink, then chalked over it with green chalk. I didn't really like the dullness, so I just had to bling it up with "snow" with my diamond Stickles. A few little stars, some gold rhinestones, and now I love it! Hope you do too! tfl

C4C104 Autumn Thanks

This card is for Crazy 4 Challenges color challenge - C4C104 - orange, olive green, yellow, brown. The leave bg and the patterned strip are from a beautiful birthday card my dh received. I love to recycle when possible, and this paper was just gorgeous! The butterly and the "Thanks" are new stamps I just got from http://www.innovativestampcreations.com. I just love these new stamps! I used versamark, pigment ink and clear embossing powder on the butterfly and finished him with copics. The Thanks is done in brown ink and heat embossed with detail gold embossing powder. tfl

Butterfly Thanks SC349

This card is for today's Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge - SC349. It was perfect for a thank you card for my friend and neighbor, Bev. She got me a lovely miniature rose to add to my little rose garden. It will have a special place in my garden and in my heart. Inside it says "Moments of friendship make a beautiful day.", and there is another butterfly stamped inside. Love this new stamp set I just got from innovativestampcreations! I stamped and heat embossed the Thanks and the butterfly, dry embossed the flowered panel and mounted all on orange cs. tfl

Priscillastyles Door Wreath MMSC120

This card is for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - MMSC120. The beautiful door wreath digital stamp is by priscillastyles and can be found at priscillastyles-store.blogspot.com. I dry embossed and sanded the background and used watercolor crayons and my aqua painter on the image. The sentiment, which is kind of hard to read on this small pic says "Home...Where the story begins". It is from Create with TLC. tfl
