Recent Cards

I made the above card for a girl that has lung disease. She was in Duke hospital for a few weeks. She's on oxygen 24/7 and needs a double lung transplant. The digi stamp--img 038--  is from My Besties Designs by Sherry Ann Baldy. The title- Hope- I fussy cut from Be Blessed Scrapbooking Signature Watercolor Collection that I received as a prize from Helen (helengullett.com) from a challenge I participated on Scrapping Everyday Miracles. I used Recollections Butterfly Wings 4x5 squares as the background mats. I used Recollections Masterpiece II Markers, Gelly Roll White Gel Pen, and Copic Sketch Too 100 Black to color the digi. The green polka dot paper is from my stash- I don't remember which pad I used. The next 2 cards I made for an Anything Goes Blind Swap with a group on Facebook.

The card base on this card is Studio G that I found at Michaels as a set of 6 for $1! Since the card base looked like a bee hive I decided to use a Bee happy Itty Bitty stamp from Unity Stamp Company. The bee sticker and flowers are from Sticko Creatures that I bought from Wal-Mart. The background paper is from Pebbles Lakeside 6x6 paper pad that I bought from TJ Maxx (work). I highlighted the bee hive with my Copic 100 and used Versafine Onyx Black pigment ink to stamp the sentiment on a piece of the back of the same patterned paper. The twine is Hemp that I also bought from work. The bigger bee at the top is from my stash.

The card base on this card is from the same Studio G collection. I found out that the felt was on sale at Michaels so I decided to make a butterfly with the felt on this card. The shocking pink square of felt was $0.09 and the lilac square was $0.29. The clothes pin is from American Crafts Whittles clothespin collection that I also found from work. I used Frosted Lace Stickles to make the butterfly shine. The tentacles is also hemp that I bought from work- it's rainbow colors. The hello stamp is from a Pebbles Clear Acrylic Greeting Stamp set that I also bought from work. The paper is from Authentique Elegant 6x6 paper pad. I submitted these cards in a group I just recently joined- Soul Scrappers (http://soul-scrappers.ning.com/)- you have to be a member to submit anything to the group. I won the recent Card Challenge with these cards! It was Card Challenge 43. Paula recommended this group on Facebook so I decided to join. I'm glad I did!! I will be participating in a blog hop with Girls, Giggles, Glitter, and Glue this Friday, August 14-16 so please come back and hop with us! Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!
