One More Sunflower

Hello! I do love sunflowers!  This card was made with a digital image from Crafty Secrets  that I won and stored in my files.  I kept the design very clean and simple.  Printed the image on watercolor paper and colored with Distress Oxide inks with a water brush. Added a sentiment from Power Poppy Stamps with Vintage Photo ink.  Attached to a Yellow card base.  That's all I did.

Poppies for Christmas

Hello! My second card today has the theme of Thinking Of You but I added an inside message that makes it a Christmas card for a special person.  I printed a digital image of Poppies by Crafty Secrets on Watercolor paper and colored with a water brush and Distress Inks.  I added a sentiment from Gina K Designs with Memento Tuxedo Black that I embossed with Clear EP.  I simply finished with a layer of Black CS and a card base of Green CS.  I finished the inside saying "With Love This Christmas Season" (printed on computer) and stamped another sentiment with Gina K Stamps.

Purple and Poppies

Hello!  I have been playing with some digital images that I received from Crafty Secrets.... I just love their flower images....and chose a Poppy image and sentiment for my design.  I used both the sketch and photo inspiration from Fusion shown below.  The image was colored with Copics and some Glaze Pens and then trimmed with an Oval die.  I placed this on a scalloped oval of Purple CS which I also used as the Card Base. The background of a soft ivory paper was embossed with CB EF Kassie's Brocade.  I finished with a Mini Fanciful Flourish cut with Cheery Lynn die and the printed sentiment cut with a Spellbinders die .  Love how this card "pops" out.

Vintage Rose

Welcome!  I was most fortunate to have won a prize from The Shabby Tea Room this week.  I received digital files from Crafty Secrets which I was able to select.  I had never been to this online shop but was very happy with the selection that I found of vintage images, papers and more.
I could not wait to make a card with one of the files and quickly printed out the Rose-Script-Frame image on cardstock.  This rose colored beautifully with Copics and I only used 4 markers R22, R24, G21, and Y28.  It looks like I used many colors to get that look of depth.  I sponged the background with Distress Ink Antique Linen.  I used an Ivory CS for the base. The image alone makes one lovely card. I decided not to add a sentiment or embellishments on this card.


I was not asked to write this or paid for this endorsement. I just love to share items and products when I found something that I really like.





Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa
