Spring Birthday

It's my instructors birthday next Monday and  we are having a little party for her so I offered to make the card.  She's all positive energy and things like that so I thought I'd make her a happy, bright sunshiney spring card!

Better with Brusho

I made this card for a lady I teach bridge to that unfortunately got into a little skiing accident the other week.  Luckily she wasn't too hurt but has to rest for a few weeks.  Anyhow hope this card cheers her up!  The card was coloured with Scarlett Brusho.

Burnished Bunny

I needed some Easter cards so I used Mike's little bunny with the "Burnished Watercolours" technique from the Aug/Sept 2007 issue of Technique Junkies.  Colours are Early Espresso and Soft Suede.  The layout is this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch #261.

Spring Challenge Entry

The spring challenge for the Michael Strong yahoo group is to use punched flowers somewhere on your card.  Here's my entry.  The Gecko was coloured with Brusho.

Michael Strong Spring Blog Hop

Time for another blog hop -- this one is to celebrate spring!

To make the background for this card I first embossed Mike's small flower in clear on white paper.  Then I tore a sheet of paper and alternatively sponged on Tim Holtz Faded Jeans and the new Cracked Pistachio.  Then I stamped the flower in both Pistachio and Jeans over top and spritzed a bit of water on top.

Winter Challenge Card

The Winter Challenge for the Michael Strong yahoo group was to make a card that was all white.

I applied some clear embossing paste to some white paper with a heart stencil.  Then I painted some burlap white and put Mike's small hearts embossed in white on top.  I added some pearls and a die cut and then to finish the card off I lightly sprayed with some glimmer mist.
