I made this card for a dear friend to let her know I am thinking about her. It is created with SU Bermuda Bay cardbase, diecut with MemoryBox, Distressed Windham Collage (30041) lattice dies, with Memory Box Colette Butterfly Branch Butterflies (99387) cut from gold glitter paper which backs the lattice, and using the larger of the leaves in Marianne Creatables (LR0156) Flowers and Leaves set. The flowers are from a 2007 Hero Arts set Fashion Flowers LL976. They are heat embossed in high detail white embossing powder on vellum, with the flower stamped again in staz-on black on watercolor paper, then double stacked. They are colored and blended with Lyra Aquacolor crayons.
Inspired by a technique demonstrated by Sandi MacIver, this card is stamped with Petite Petals, Flower Shop and Petite Pairs stamps by SU and leaves by Gina K in her Flowers and Frames set. The colors are Real Red, Pacific Point, Crumb Cake and Tip Top Taupe.

For helping me over some recent rough spots. I LOVE the beautiful British stampset of gorgeous fairies. I did this card with a Marianne Designs Designables Cut and Emboss folder # DS0907on SU Wisteria Wonder paper. It is mounted on natural paper, and the oval cut fairy is stamped on the same paper and colored with Prismacolor Pencils. The whole card is touched with Gelly Roll Clear Star pen, and Wink of Stella accents. The tiny stars are from the star border punch by SU The vellum butterfly is from the Butterfly thinlits dieset by SU, and lightly sponged with Delicata gold, Wisteria Wonder and Mint Macaron inks.

This little Cactus Sprite is created for the Aurora Wings Challenge # 27 "Say it with Flowers." It is colored with Prismacolor Pencils, then accented rhinestones, and with Gelly Roll Clear Star detail and "Summer" Flower Soft accenting the blossoms. The edges of the photo mat, picture of a real cactus flower are trimmed with a black line sticker. The mat behind that is Stampin Up, Watermelon Wonder paper, on bone cardstock. Black braid that I edged in Flower Soft is across the bottom of the card. The sentiment on this card is photoshopped into the blog post, because I haven't decided what sentiment stamp or sticker I am going to ultimately want on that 5x7 card. I live in the desert and know that this little sprite will see many applications. Some of my other Cactus Flower photos are in a Flickr Album
I created this 5x7 card with the beautiful Poppy Elf by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff for her Blog Challenge #27 for Say It With Flowers. She is colored in Prismacolor Pencils and embellished with Old Olive, Curry, and Tip Top Taupe papers (SU) The card is embossed with Embossabilities Bricks folder. Stickles a sticker sentiment, and olive green ribbon finish this "wow" card.
I love the Mermaid with the secret in her bottle...so much so I made a VERY special card with her again--this time 5x7. . She is colored in Prismacolor pencils and finished with a Stickles, rhinestones and 3D Crystal Glaze. The graphic background is Copic BG10. The first mat is Rich Razzleberry (SU) popped up over heavily textured gold handmade paper. That is over gold heart embossed vellum paper, which shows through to"Soft Sky" paper that has been run through the dotted Embossabilities folder with my Craftwell.. Seashells and Martha Stewart "fir" punch embellish the circular sentiment and the "netting" is actually a cut from my Glitter clean up cloth . Inside the bottle is written "Happy 73rd Birthday Donna." This special card will be given to her when she is on a Celebratory 73rd Birthday Panama Canal Cruise next month.
