February Cards

Well here it is March, and I am finally posting some cards from February.  I think I am close to catching up, only because it is taking me so long to get cards made.  I have been trying to push myself to try some new things and it has been fun, but not always successful - hence the extra time to complete a card.

Here is a brief overview of my creative attempts in February...... sympathy cards for a friend who lost her grown daughter and another who lost her husband and birthday cards - one for my grandson and

another for a lifelong friend.

File origin is unknown - it's just titled "Deco Cross" - no clue where it came from, but I love it!

Was printed on standard card stock and foiled with silver glitter foil and the FoilMaster. - 

and then cut out.

You can see the beauty of the luster card stock from Paper Temptress.

This design is from SVG Cuts.  Papers are from PaperTemptress - Mica, vellum and gold luster.

I love the simplicity of it...

Found this image online. Star background is a FoilMate from

Gina K Designs. 

Couldn't resist making this image have some

galactic sparkle!

This beautiful flower is from Graciellie Designs. 

Card stock is Pop Tones from Paper Temptress. 

 I watercolored with Spectrum Noir aqua pens and SN Sparkle pens. 

The raised areas of the embossed background are highlighted with NUVO embossing mousse.

Thanks for reading.  Look forward to sharing some recipes next!

Foiled Flowers - Part 2

This summer, thanks to Patricia at Paper Temptress, I became acquainted with the artistic images from Graciellie Designs.

The detail in that rose is incredible.  And it was such fun to do and relatively easy.

First I traced the image in SCAL and created a cut file for both the large rose and the center bud.I printed the digi images on regular card stock using a monolaser printer, foiled the images with the FoilMaster and then cut them out with the Silver Bullet. I also created a shadow image of the larger rose and cut out of a black card stock to make the image pop.

Always challenging to capture the beauty of the foil and the card at the same time!

Love the shimmer of the Paper Temptress Mica card base.

The rose image is from her Strong and Courageous collection.

The sentiment is from her Classic Greetings.

This view shows a little of the dimenwion -  

both the large rose and the center are on foam dots.
