Ericka Strange said...

Gorgeous cards. Love your use of color so many beautiful pieces of art. I especially love the hugs card so pretty!

_chevron2 said...

I'm so glad I got to see your cards! so lovely!

Unknown said...

Oh my gosh, what beautiful cards! The first card with those glittery things in the middle is elegant. Your coloring is so pretty and I want to try to do that. I have some flower stamps like that and they would look so pretty colored like that. What did you use for the middle of those flowers because I want some! I am also a huge fan of sequins and you used some on this card. Wow! Hallmark must be jealous. LOL
The high card looks like something someone else did on the hop. A black and white movie this is partially colorized. I want to try this technique so bad.
The celebrate card has my favorite color in it, yellow and you get extra points for using it. My dad used to have a label maker. He probably still does somewhere. I love those stamps.
I love you're Sending Hugs card and those pretty pink flowers. I am jealous of you're coloring. It's so pretty.
I know you embossed the Merry card. The red background with the white flowers is so pretty. I want to try it! Thanks for the inspiration.
I love shaker cards but have not made one just yet. I have to be the only one in the whole world who hasn't made a shaker card. I need to find out how to make one so I can. I know my friends will love shaker cards and once I make one I my never make another kind of card again.
Last but certainly not least is that pretty yellow/green flower card. I love how you variegated the leaves on this card and again used sequins.
