RIP Aunt Marie

WOW it’s been a whole month since I posted anything.  Time goes by so quickly.

Our dear Aunt Marie passed a few days ago.  I thought I’d share this card I made for her family.   She was a very special lady and will be missed by many.

I made the cross with quilling strips and the flower was punched out of the background paper.  The center is a quilled rose. It looks a little odd because the back of the paper was white.  

 

Challenge #160 - "C" is for...

This card is my entry into Mo Manning's challenge # 160 "C" is for cooking.

Paris Here I Come!

I was introduced to a new card site called Outlawz. http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/
I really like it. It has a challenge for every day of the week. It feels strange to be at a new site but I'm getting the hang of it. Today they had a challenge to make a card using Red, Yellow and Black with a traveling theme. This is what I came up with. It's funny but this is one of the few times something turned out even better than I imagined it. I must have had angles looking over my shoulder,

Sit Back and Relax

This card was made with an Elisabeth Bell Digi image colored with Prismacolor pencils. The head scarf, blouse and pant cuffs were paper pieced.
I am entering it in the following challenges:

These are two of the cards I made for church for November. I masked off the center and the sun and sponged on SU night of navy, so saffron and more mustard. Then I sponged summer sun on the sun area.

I taped the 4 1/4 X 5 ½ sponged card front to a piece of copy paper and printed the saying in Univrsty Roman font and used the MDS 1 digital stamp Just Believe in chocolate chip.  The bird was purchased at Impress. The card front is matted in navy blue and yellow Bazzill textured cardstock.  A stampin’ Up punch was used for the corners.

This card was made for Mo’s challenge #152 to use buttons.

EB World Challenge

This is my first entry into a challenge at Elisabeth Bell's World challenge Blog at http://elisabethbellsworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/

The challenge was to make a Christmas card without using a Christmas Image.  I chose to make a side step card using this adorable birthday digi image that I colored with Prisma Colored pencils. This was my first purchase of an EB digi but certainly not my last.
