Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge #70 - Hollyhocks

The challenge was to use lace this time.  The image is of hollyhocks from Pears and Hollyhocks from Mark's Finest Papers.  It was fun making a soft distressed vintage card today.

Christmas Poinsettia 2011...

I love PSX stamps, and I felt fortunate to find this stamp on sale at a nearby stamp store.  I embossed the image on watercolor paper, and then watercolored it.  My glue pen was not working, so it was tricky to find something that would allow me to add a little glitter to the leaves.

Speedy the Cat's 67th Challenge - Summer Colors...

I did this card for Speedy the Cat's 67th challenge.  I used the Pear and hollyhock set from Mark's Finest Papers.  I also used some SU dp and some of the in colors.  It's time to use that poppy parade and pear pizzazz before summer vanishes on us.  We were to make a card any size other than the typical A2 card.  I did a square card.

FLLC, Sweet Peas and Doilies...

I recently got the new SU set delicate doilies.  I wanted to combine it with the sweet peas from Flourishes.  It took me a while to figure out the colors and design, but I think I am happy with it.

WT334, To use Kraft...

I was looking through my stamp sets, and found this wonderful old set.  I decided to watercolor it and make it for one of my dear friends.  She also happens to be my SU demo.  I am so thankful to her for many things, and one of them is getting me into stamping.

TLC336, To use a sentiment on top of something else...

This was a technique challenge and we were to use our sentiment on top of an image, or something else.  I used this set from Tim Holtz.  His stamps are easy to create a nice looking card with.  I used daffodil delight, old olive, and navy.
