Pink Flowers Mothers Day Card

Here is a simple pink Spanish Mother's Day Card. I figured out that I love the flowers so much more when they are sprayed with Glimmer Mist. The sparkle is just a wonderful touch.
The layout is simple and the twine gave it just the right touch.

Thanks for stopping by!!

    SSS209 Spanish Mother's Day Card

    I am very excited to be joining The Sweet Stop design team. I have always loved the sketches. So here is my first post. 
    I followed the sketch below using Recollections paper. The image I used is a Sweet N Sassy image. It is called Butterfly and Flower. I colored it with Copics and added Stickles in the middle of the flower. I used my Spellbinders for the oval cut outs and inked the edge of the white oval. I added a Spanish sentiment at the top. I wasn't real sure where to put the sentiment but I like how it came out.  
    Now head on over to The Sweet Stop and play along.

    Like I said earlier I am obsessed with these Heidi Swapp butterflies. I used Heidi Swapp spray on them and the flower. I like the shimmer it gives the flower. These two cards are very similar. 
    I made the insides the same on both cards. Such a cute sentiment I found online and printed out.
    If you follow my FB page then you know I made about 30 Mothers Day cards so more to come!

    Aqua & Black Mother's Day Cards

     Can you see any difference between these two cards? :) Unbelievable! I actually made two of the same card! I liked this one so much and so did my co workers I made a second.
    Then of course I needed an English card.
    I used Heidi Swapp butterflies and spray for the flowers and on the butterflies. I am obsessed with these butterflies! I printed the English sentiment on my computer. The Spanish is a stamp set from Dilo En Espanol mothers day set. The paper is DCWV. The rest is pretty simple.
    Let the flood of Mother's Day cards begin!

    Mojo Monday 290 ~ Mothers Day

     This sketch inspired me to make this beautiful card. I used Fiskar stamps for the flowers. I inked the edges of all the rectangles to make them pop a bit more. The sentiment is a Studio G stamp.
    The butterfly is a Heidi Swapp embellishment sprayed with Chartreuse (green) Color Shine. I am loving Heidi Swapp right now. The paper is DCWV.
    I really enjoy sketches. They help me get inspired. Now time to go link up to Mojo Monday.

    Stampin Up Flower Mothers Card

    Here is my first Mother's Day Card for 2013. I used Stampin Up stamps for the flowers. I am a huge fan of this set. I like how it looks almost hand drawn. 
    This is a dollar stamp I got a long time ago.
    Aren't these flowers lovely!
    I just want to say thank you to all my followers! It means a lot to know that so many people like my projects. I always notice when one leaves and feel a little sad.

Anywho thanks for sticking with me.

    SNS Cute and Cuddly Challenge

     Sweet N Sassy is having a cute and cuddly challenge. I made a few cards for the occasion.
     I made the backgrounds using strips of zig zag paper on top of white paper. I sprayed the whole thing with glitter spray. The images I used are two of my favorite SNS images. The top one is Cocoa's Gift. All of the Cocoa images are cute. He is what drew me to SNS. I colored him with Copics, cut him out with a Spellbinders and inked the edges.
    This image I love because it is so versatile. Olivia Celebrates comes with many different options for her to hold. I will be using her often.
     Here is a Valentine's card I did not have a chance to post. See she can be used in so many ways.
    I colored the owl with Copics on both cards. I added Glossy accents to the balloon and party hat on the birthday card. I hope you will all come join in the fun with your cute and cuddly cards over at Sweet N Sassy!

    Birthday Candle Cards ~Pink

    Here is a set of pink birthday cards I made.
    I believe this candle stamp in Stampin Up. It has three candles like below. I stamped it twice straight on the paper on this one. I added Stickles and colored with copics. I have mixed feelings on the stamping on the paper.
    I used the lacy ovals Spellbinders on these bottom two.
    The happy birthday is a Stampin Up stamp.
