Crazy Card Party-- Gold Dipped

This week at Crazy Card Party, Regs is asking to see something "gold dipped." I love it! She is always on trend. I poked around Pinterest for a while first and saw lots of pretty gold dipped jewellery I'd love to have!    

Here's what I made...

I "dipped" the ends of some WPlus9 feathers in gold (ie. embossed them). I love the aqua mist and gold together. I layered on a sentiment die cut and a strip of Crate on the side. Love it!

Thanks Regs for a very cool challenge.


I can't wait to see what kind of gold dipping the other Party-Ers get up to this week!

Crazy Card Party-- Watercolour

This week at Crazy Card Party, Dee is asking to see watercolour.    Well that's my favourite kind of thing to do!

I never get tired of watercolouring in floral images. Fun! 

I can't wait to see what the other Party-Ers create this week with watercolour!

Crazy Card Party-- Birthday!

This week at Crazy Card Party, Patricia is asking to see birthday cards.  Well it is always good to have lots of those on hand!

This might look like a Christmas card but actually it is a birthday card I made for a friend who has a winter birthday Christmas.

 

It is kind of sucky photography, but the cs is sweet blush and the embossing paste looks sparkly white in real life.  I loved finding a way to use that gorgeous Tim Holtz stencil for something other than Christmas.

I can't wait to see what the other Party-Ers create this week!

Papertrey February Blog Hop Challenge

I decided to play along with PTI's blog hop challenge this month. The inspiration photo was so "zen" and spring-like...just the thing for this time of year to get our minds off this snow and ice!

Here's the inspiration...

 






I loved the soft pink and green and the large pink flower. So that's what I went with. Meadow Greens did all the rest!

Thanks for stopping by! I can't wait to see all the other interpretations of this inspiration photo.

Thank you

I made my mom a thank you card for making me two gorgeous quilts for my birthday. One is a lap quilt in black, grey and cream hexies. It matches my new couch perfectly! The second is a double sized scrap quilt with lots of white space. I treasure them both! 

She was asking me about shaker cards the other day, so I decided to make her one. I embossed a big sentiment from Your Next Stamp and watercoloured some scribble flowers from Simon's "Favorite Flowers." 

I linked up with the Simon Says challenge for this week..."Shake it Up." 

Thanks for stopping by!

Crazy Card Party~ Hearts

This week at Crazy Card Party, I have set the challenge as hearts in honour of Valentine's Day.

   

I was excited to use my Neat & Tangled set here with some gold embossing and watercolouring.

I can't wait to see what heart themed projects the other Party-Ers create this week!

Celebrate

I decided to play along with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge...One Layer. Among my group of scrappy friends, we often have "spirited" discussions about what exactly a one layer card is. According to this week's challenge, it should "look" like one layer, but you can add die cuts to the front. So that's what I did...

I gold embossed the tips of some WPlus9 feather die cuts and added a die cut sentiment from Your Next Stamp in gold foil. A little gold triangle washi tape finished it off.

thanks for dropping by!
