Just a note paper flowers

Super quick post today as I have to get ready for work. This card was inspired by Lin's gorgeous card here.
Made with Hero Arts
CL342 Everyday Sayings
S5208 Designer Wood grain (stamped with antique linen)
cl401 speckled ornaments (stamped with peeled paint)

The paper for the flowers is from daisyd's and it's a double sided card stock. I think this company is actually out of business but I found this a our local dollar store. This paper is nice to use because there is a different print on both sides (the outside of the flowers are yellow and pink design inside). The base of the card is regular white card stock stamped with HA wood grain, glued it to another piece of white cardstock and took one side of the scissors to the edge to give a rough look,touched Worn lipstick on the edges of the card and also the flowers.

Thanks for looking, have a very happy stamping day!!

Sending Smiles!

I just adore this clear set from Hero Arts called Sending Smiles (CL444). So many great garden elements to choose from. Thought it would be fun to make the basket of flowers look like a purse :)

So glad it's the Weekend, now hopefully I will have a chance to look around Flickr and all the wonderful blogs out there to see what everyone has been up to!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great Weekend!! :)

Italian Style - Play date cafe

Well it's back to work for me this week. So long to sleeping in, no makeup, blue jeans and my pony tail. It was so nice to have some time off. :)
Made this card for the Play Date Cafe Italian Style. The butterflies are from a company called Local King Rubber Stamps. Background is an Anna Griffin Stamp (I also used on my Wedding cards many years ago) and the Sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Thank you for looking!

Just a note Birds

Still on Vacation and enjoying the time off. So far I have refinished an old antique bench and I am now working on an old oval window sanding and removing the paint. I would like to make some stained glass inserts for this window using 2 clear beveled birds few flowers and butterflies. I picture the window almost looking like this card.
Made with worn lipstick and a white ink to soften the pink. Also added a music note brad to match the sentiment.

Backyard Deer

I bought this Young Deer Stamp a few weeks ago and decided not to use it until I start my Vacation. Well Vacation time is here for the next two weeks and it was perfect timing to see this Deer in the backyard. They love to visit our Apple tree which thanks to my Husband always has a pile of neatly stacked apples waiting for their next visit!

This card is made with Hero Arts...

Coffee, donuts and the newspaper

I have just discovered glossy accents and it's so exciting. I really have to control my self as I want to coat everything with it! It's great to use on the donuts in this stamp set. Made with Hero Arts CL416 What's perking, coloured with Copics. Glossy accents and tiny glass beads were added to the donut. Also added some news print classifieds for the background and embossing.

Have a super weekend!

Mini Muffin Cards

Made with Hero Arts cl158. These mini's were inspired by Lisa's Donut card on the Hero Arts Blog. Topping's include paper sprinkles, white sugar, peanuts, tiny glass beads and Cake Mate sprinkles. (These cards were made by adding the cupcake image to the seam on white card stock so they are attached at the top.)

Hope you have a yummy day!! :)
