Hello-

1 more card.  This one for my MIL.  Shes one of the best people I know and she loves pink. This one is visiting the gallery at Can you Handle the Pressure.  The brief is to use an embossing folder with the option of layers.

A simple embossed panel repeats the sentiment.  The cosmos stem was cut 3 times making a thick layered die cut. The center was mounted on a bit of foam tape giving it more dimension.  All parts of the Cosmo's top layer were colored with alcohol markers.

Thanks for stopping by.

 Greetings

Its been a beautiful 3 days here in northwest Ohio.  Around 79-83, a breeze (which reminds me of California---few breezy days in Maryland.) and a blue sky with clouds floating by. This would be my perfect clime year round.

I have long wanted to inventory my stamps, dies, EF's and stencils.  Well that has begun.  I came across this cute set by Pretty Pink Posh and I knew my next card would have to feature it.  Then the Color Hues challenge popped up in my feed -- I had my colors.  The design was rounded out with the sketch from Freshly Made sketches.   

 

 I stamped colored and diecut the monsters in shades of green and yellow. I then cut the postage collage die from a white panel, cut it apart and chose 3 "stamps" I added yellow dots with a marker and then popped up my lil monsters on each panel.  I added then to the front of a green card base and added the sentiment under my grouping of stamps. A few sequins were added.

Another 2-3 hour card. I am so out of my element. I didn't think it would be this hard for me to get back into it or maybe its just the new space. 

    

 Thank you so much for visiting.  Your comments are appreciated.
