Cards, Cards and More Cards

I am a little giddy! I actually got to make cards yesterday, and I made a day of it. It has been so long I was really out of the routine. The wedding hoopla is almost over. One more trip for DH and I and then maybe we can get a routine going again. Life seems a little weird right now... feeling like things maybe different...Oh well I made some cards. I had a ton of people to thank for helping me with the Reception for my DD's Wedding last weekend. I used Pink at first and Upsy Daisy, then I decided it would be more appropriate to use Tempting Turqouise and Taken with Teal. I used Water color wonder Crayons and an H2) Brush to apply the color to the Stamp. On the pinks I used Pretty in Pink, Pixie Pink and Rose Pink. for the stems I used Certainly Celery. On the Blues I used bashful Blue, Taken With Teal and Tempting Turquoise and a little Old Olive and Certainly Celery for the leaves and Stems.

On the first card I used Basic Gray and "Thanks For Everything" to make the card. Probably too big of an image to make fit on the standard card front. so I had to cut the V notch to allow for the ribbon. I sponged with Pixie Pink. and some clear rhinestones. I think its cute but it shows that I was a bit rusty. I think I would have sponged with a different Pink hue. I am also trying to use up some old Cardstock this year..way to much being stored. this is a Bright Pink that was an old SU color. The ribbon is some left over bright pink Offray,I got for girls camp this last summer. The second card I was much happier with. I like how simple it was to add some pink rhinestones under the sentiment from Upsy Daisy stamped in Certainly Celery. the green striped ribbon is an old dollar find from Target. I did need to use a SU Certainly Celery marker to bring some of the stems out.


I forgot to mention that I used "Floral Screen" cuttle bug folder to add some texture to the background. I like using it when I stamp with flowers. This time I used Blue gem stones a left over wedding find...are you sensing a theme yet...
and I raised the sentiment on Dimensionals.

The last card is similar to the first but I turned the card and used some grosgrain ribbon in turqouise to add
a different look.

Oh last but not least I thought I would show you a family picture from the reception taken by my SIL from "Just So...Photography"

I need to get the originasl image from her this one is from an online slide show and it is less pixelly...I will post one f the whole family later(were missing DD#4) when I get it from the photographer...Dont we clean up well... Oh and Yes all the girls had their heels on I was barefoot....;)

Until Later

...Happy Stamping!!!
