Time to Feed the Garden...

Hello Everyone, I hope that things are going Great! I love this time of year so much. It smells fresh and the birds are singing so sweetly in the mornings. It's exciting to get outside and start planning my garden. I have a perennial flower garden that I like to add new plants to each year. I found myself thinking about all of this and nearly forgot to fertilize the garden. That's what was my inspiration for today's card. It's time to feed the Garden....

I used a New Release Image from Cute As A Button. I'm calling her Venus. She was fun to paint because she has so many shadows and highlights. I gave the Venus Fly Trap red lipstick to match hers. I cute the image and matted it onto dark green cardstock. The card is 6 x 6. I used a strip of thought bubbles because of the way they used them in the show batman when I was growing up. I can't wait to see what you can do with her! I thought about going all Rocky Horror Picture Show with it, maybe next time!

Have a great week everyone! Hugz

"Living on The Edge"

Hi and Welcome To  another  Outlawz.ning.com  Monday Greetings Challenge. I am proud to be a Guest Designer for the month of May. This week the theme is "Living on the Edge" (using a Fancy Edge on the card) and your card has to have a greeting on it. Our Sponsor for the challenge is Bugaboo and Rick St. Dennis. Isn't that perfect. I love the images from both of these Artists! I have an image from Rick St. Dennis that fits our Theme perfectly this week. If she doesn't look like she is "Living Life on the Edge" I don't know what is.

I used TH Distress inks to paint the image. I cut the image using a Oval Die Set from Gina Marie Designs. The Image is adhered to a purple cardstock cut at 6 x 6. I adhered a strip of bobby pin patterned cardstock to the right side of the card and used a scalloped scissors to cut the edge. There is a black ribbon with pieces cut out of designer paper to add detail. They fit so well with the image its crazy! I added two bobby pins to the top of the card with some pearls for dimension.Then I added a black ribbon with a pearl in the center.The Image is so much fun!!

Isn't she gorgeous!?! The images at A Day For Daisies are so sweet and fun to work with. I started by painting her skin with water color. I used a pearlescent water paint to paint the dress. The camera didn't show it very well but the dress has a gorgeous shimmer to it. I used distress inks to paint the hair and the birds. I also used markers on the hair. The Sentiment is from a Stampendous called Happy Messages. I added the pearly enamel dots for a little detail. I hope the card has inspired you in some way. I can't wait to see what you create! Have a blessed week!!

A Little Pick UP

It's been a while since I've been able to sit and write a blog. Dad's cancer has gotten so much worse. The Doctor's sent him home with just a few days to left to live. It's been a week now. He says he isn't ready to die and is fighting it. It's hard because his body is shutting down and wants to stop. I hate watching him deteriorate like this but I understand him not being ready. I am saving everyone's cards and when things settle down I will visit everyone and get caught up on all of your adventures. I'm so glad I have my crafting. It helps so much to have an outlet for the stress. I made this card for Dad. He love's his truck and really enjoyed the card.

I used the a guy and his truck Stamp from Unity Stamp company and the sentiment is fro Stampin' up. I painted the image with water color paints and then used the cloud technique for the sky. Some of the hearts have stickles on them. The card is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

I made this card over a week ago when dad was doing a little better. Inside I signed it with the words. "with loads of love, Jules" He got a kick out of that, :)

I hope you have enjoyed the card! Have a blessed weekend! Hugz
