CC571 Precious Memories

Hello everyone, today's card was designed for Splitcoaststampers Color challenge today.

I made this card to send to a old neighbor friend in California who's mom passed away. It is so sad, and has been on my mind for many days now. Funeral was last Saturday, we couldn't attend, so we did send flowers. Now we will be sending each of the children and her husband a card. She was a dear sweet lady, and I feel so bad for the family.

So for my card I have to admit, I had a hard time finding the right color purple to match the wisteria color, oh boy! heehe so I used what I had, simple enough, I should have done that in the beginning. It took me longer to find the paper , than it did to make the card...heheh go figure! hahahaha


Flowers-
On my card I used Heartfelt creations Rose Creations die to cut the flowers out of Heartfelt Creation DP! they were airbrushed with copicBV00, and then distressed with dusty concord distress ink. I spritzed them with a pearl spritz, and then shaped them. Next I glued them together and added some American Crafts glitters.
Layers-
Next I picked the design paper from Ella Blue (GDC studios) for my layered background pieces. I figured I would bring in more blue that way. I added some sewing to each panel.

frame-
was cut using spellbinders, then distressed the edges with walnut stain, and dusted with frayed burlap
fancy corners-
those are HC and were cut using bazzill blank check card stock.
Sentiment-
Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3377 Sympathy Sentiments precut set.
Embellishments-
Branches are Martha Stewart, and Ribbon is Really Reasonable Ribbon. I used an OLD vintage button for the center of my bow.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

hugs to all,

Cheryl

Cherish the Memories/Calendar

Hello everyone,

The desktop Calendar is from Heidi swap I believe. I covered the chipboard pages with Heartfelt Creations design paper, and then made the flowers using copics,distress ink,clear embossing powder. LOVE the look of these gorgeous flowers. They remind me of glass.

Leaves were created using 2 different products. I will have to do a video tutorial on this.

 

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

shabby chic sweetness

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share a card I made for today's Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge,using some leftover flowers I had cut for a LO. I stamped them in Tim Holtz distressed ink, airbrushed them with copic markers, and then heat embossed them to give a glass like look. Love the way these look in person. I did add some vintage pearls to the centers.

 

I also added some moss green leaves around them,as due to being sick for the last few days, I didn't have time to make my own leaves, otherwise I would have loved to have done the same techniques on the leaves.

LOVE the design paper, its heartfelt creations Daphne & Vintage Floret. Flowers are Posy Patch

Flora for Mom

Hello everyone, and Happy Friday to all! Today I wanted to share a quick post on my other card I made for this past Wednesday's sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers.

I made the flowers on my card using Heartfelt Creations beautiful Flora Grande stamps. they are airbrushed using copics, and then spritzing with gold glimmer mist, and I added some beads to the centers. I had some ribbon that matched perfect, but didn't care for it, as it had wire in it. Now thinking about it, I should have pulled the wire out....sheeesh , always figure it out after the fact.....LOL hahah oh well. For the leaves I used Lumiere, and just painted it on them. super easy!

The design paper I used is American Crafts Dear Lizzy line, 5th and frolic. Love the papers in this collection. 

The sticker that says Mother is from DCWV

 The ribbon for the bow is Old and from an estate, so im not sure where its from. The gingham checked ribbon is from RRR, and the other one, is the one I wanted to make my bow out of....hehehehe

Thank you for looking and have a lovely weekend!

hugs to all,

SCS Sketch Challenge/Bella Rose

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to all!  Today's card is for Splitcoaststampers Sketch challenge that is hosted by Cathy this week. Love this sketch! Thank you Cathy!



 So this is my second card for Cathy's sketch. I played around making my first card yesterday morning, and then uploaded it last night. However once I uploaded it, I decided to make another card "Bella Rose" I just LOVE this stamp, as I LOVE roses!!!

When I lived in San Jose California back in 1994 we had over 22 rose tree's and bushes at the house we rented. I fell in love with roses even more after moving into that home. Thank God for my Aunt Mary who knew all about Roses, as she was a Master Gardener. Anytime I had questions, she was always there to help, even sent me a book on how to take care of roses! Sure do miss her!Anyways just had to tell you a little about what made me love Roses so much! So now onto my card....hehehe

My card was pretty simple to make. As I cut my Blue shimmer Bazzill card stock 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 next the design paper was cut at 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 and then sewn together. For my panel I cut it and layered the same. Using design paper from Echo Park "For the Record2". The Beautiful Bella rose was stamped in memento black ink, and colored with copics. The rose was colored with copics B99,BG000,B45. The leaves were colored with G99,YG05,YG03,G24. I then cut out the rose.

Ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon. Love all the ribbons Bonnie carries! Lastly the little brad I added is from American Crafts Warehouse Sale. I bought them back in 2013 wow, seems like it was just yesterday!
