Peace


I created this card for two challenges that are new to me. Friday Sketchers has a sketch that I followed and Daring Cardmakers asks that we add sparkle and bling to our cards. My card features Layers of Color Flower Child art stamp set as the focal point. I’ve also used Layers of Color Fleur Heart art stamp set on the petals and center of the flower. The background is created with handmade papers.

Flower Child Baby Shower


Inspired by a friend that had a baby last week, here’s a collection of rubber stamped paper arts that are designed around a baby shower theme using Layers of Color Flower Child art stamp set.

For the mother who doesn’t know if it’s a boy or girl, this aqua, white and brown color combination works beautifully. The “B” emblem is raised up off of the card with foam tape. The embossing is done with Cuttlebug embossing dies. And it’s colored with pencil, markers, gel pen and Brilliance Coffee Bean brown ink (which has a lovely shimmer!).

And finally, to close out a memorable time with family and friends, a Thank You card sending sweet love. The Thank You and the left heart are raised up off the card with foam tape. Hope this collection has inspired you!

Penny Found


Coins are the theme at Layers of Color Challenge this week. Here’s my artwork. I hope this Gothic Arch inspires you!

Remember discovering a coin on the ground when you were a child, and how exciting that was? I would pick it up and sing, “Find a penny, pick it up!…all day have good luck!”. My children would call the shiny ones, “girls”. I still look for found coins, but instead of picking them up, I point them out to any nearby children, just to see their smiles shine!

Here’s my contributing card:

It’s made with Layers of Color Beaded Frames and Garden Borders art stamp sets, Paper Whimsy image, a copy of a floral textile and a canvas background painted with acrylics; all placed on orange cardstock with a black envelope.


Une Fleur


The challenge at Dans Ma Maison Il ya…une Fleur. A perfect opportunity to use my “Fleur” stamp on a birthday card. There are over a dozen birthdays I’ll celebrate between now and the end of the year, so this is the first of many.

I used glossy card stock, alcohol inks, Staz-On ink, Dover image, Layers of Color Fleur Heart and Garden Borders art stamp sets, pencil, marker and a copy of an early floral engraving…all for a card in the shape of a house.
