Embroidered Ornament



Hi Everyone, I love to combine different techniques I've learned over the years into my card making, so this is a christmas card I just finished. The ornament is a sticker that is gold and clear shimmery and then the holes are for embroidery, so that's what I've done with it. The stamping on the edge is the sparkle and shine wheel out of the new mini catalogue which you can order from Tomorrow. there are lots of cool things in it, come back and take a look at it then.
I used gold pen around the edges of the red and finished it off with an embossed sticker greeting. The ornament stickers and embossed greetings can be purchased at www.ecstasycrafts.com Thanks againd for looking

This is a card I did today, which is part of a large order of cards I'm working on. This is a stamp from Pink Cat Studio as part of the enchanted Lily set. She is so cute.
I watercolored her with shimmer paints The designer papers are from my stash along with the pink cardstock, came from Michaels Flower Bouquet set. The ribbon was also from my stash.
The layout is actually the layout of the week for the Pink Elephant Challenge blog. Check it out here

In Colors with Upsy Daisy Stamp Set.


For this card I used one of my favorite stamp sets, Upsy Daisy and I used all but one of the new In Colors from Stampin up. How I love these new colors Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango. I just love them all, even the Soft Suede. I'll use it on a card soon. Anyway I used the new in color markers to do this card, and then water with it, to give it the water color effect. Oh I'm so glad they have the markers now too. Well anyway it's all backed onto some Melon mambo, then onto some of the Razzleberry Lemonade DP and then onto Bermuda Bay.
Thanks for looking.
