Wedding Card

My nephew in Australia is getting married next month, so I made this wedding card for him and his fiance. I put Wink of Stella on the bottom cut-out die. It is difficult to capture how lovely it turned out.

Shoe Box Swap

This was my card for a shoe box swap with my friends. I used watercolor pencils to color in the butterfly and then aqua painters to smooth and enrich the color. On the outer edges of the watercolor paper I used the direct to paper ink application and then smoothed it out with the aqua painters. I really like how the detailed butterfly that is layered on top brings out that extra pizzazz.

Valentine's Day card

One of the Valentine's Day cards that I sent out today. :-)

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you a Blessed and Happy Christmas!

Hand-made gift exchange

This was my project for our annual gift exchange. I managed to do it one-handed, which was quite a feat. I purchased the small quilled note card and cut it to size. I mounted it on an embossed gold card. The beautiful background was made with Nuance powders by Magenta. I sponged the front of the frame with gold paint. I think it turned out very nicely.

Gifts for Friends

This is a sample of the little gingerbread house that I made for my stamping friends. I put an Eos lotion bottle in each one.

Thanksgiving Favors

This is a sample of the favor that I made for our Thanksgiving celebration.

I was glad that I made them early as I fell and badly broke my wrist on October 25th.  I am unable to do most of my crafting, so I am anxious for healing. I am still in a cast 7 weeks later, but hope to have it removed next week. At least it is a festive red cast this time. :-)
