Baby Card


I have not posted anything in almost a month!! Well it is Summah time and you all know how that goes. So many things to do and since our summers are so short we tend to try to enjoy every last second of it. But I have still been making cards. I just made this card for a Baby Shower that my daughter Amanda and I will be going to this weekend up at Shin Pond funny name huh!!! Her best friend has a little girl and is expecting a boy! My image is from Meljens designs and is adorable I might add. I used copics to color the image and my flower is made from a coffee filter along with some distress inks. Then I sprayed it with some perfect pearls and water in gold.

OWH Midweek Throwdown

Hello, I thought I would enter a card into the OWH midweek throwdown challenge!! Yay! You can use gold on your card without using any kind of glitter products. I used a gold embossing powder on the flower and branch stamps. Very simple, and yes I made that little pearl flower, one of my old jewelry making patterns. Trust me I have plenty of jewelry making items that I should put to use.
