WT331, Music in the Parlor...

This is another collage for Collette's challenge on Thursday.  I love collage because you can totally be creative and even tell a story that isn't maybe obvious.  I used a set called Timeless Treasures from SU.  I love antiques and vintage things.

WT331, Twine Collage...

Collette gave us the challenge to make a crazy collage on SCS for this past Thursday.  We were to use at least 4 stamps.  I used 5.  Can you find them??

FLLC, Raspberries Anyone??...

I made this card purely for my own enjoyment.  I finally had the courage to try coloring (watercoloring) these yummy raspberries from Flourishes.  I also used a great new little stamp from SU, and used the new punch that goes with it.

Orchids for Mom... (Flourishes)

This is a Flourishes image - Orchids.  I used prisma colored pencils to color the image.  I used two embossing folders.  I made this card for my mom.  

FLLC, Spring Poppies...

I had a great time making this card.  I was sort of losing motivation, or just not knowing what direction to go in.  My friend told me to find some dp and some matching card stock, and then to use a poppy image.  So that is what I did.  I'm quite happy with how this card turned out.  It is a Flourishes image, and I watercolored it.  The dp is basic grey. The cardstock is all SU.

Faux Linen (my first attempt)

This was the first time I attempted the faux linen technique.  It was fun, and I like how my card turned out.  I ended up using some ruby red, which I seldom use so enjoyed that. You can find the directions and a tutorial on SCS by Beate.  I made my own dp with SU's En Francais and Bella Toille.  My sentiment is from Tim Holtz.  The sanded image was a freesia by Heritage Farms, which unfortunately is now out of business.  Try this technique.  It will help spice up your stamping life.  :>)

Dad's Father's Day Card 2011...

This card is for Father's Day.  The bird, like my dad is/was helping to build a good home. I love this set;  it is Nature Walk from SU.
