Ballerina Dancer Card

Stepped out of my Clean & Simple CAS style again and made a girly card with many embellishments.

Used a StitchyBear digi, Ballerina. Made the card in monochromatic colors of pinks. Used Recollections Butterfly Wings cardstock & 2 shades of pink glitter cardstock. Used Spellbinders Nest die to cut out the digi that I printed on pink cardstock. Used Cuttlebug embossing folder for sentiment tag strip. Stamped Whimsical Designs Everyday Sentiments sentiment. Used Tim Holtz Distress Ink spun sugar to make the white silk flowers pink. Always a good thing to buy white so you can match to the color you want with TH Distress Inks. Added feathers, flowers & gems.

Hat Silhouette Mothers Day Card

Created this Mother's Day card using a Stitchy Bear digi, The Hat Silhouette Series, that I won in a challenge from One Stitch At A Time.

I wanted the focal point to be the Digi so no fancy die cuts used. For some of the rectangles simple enough I used Cricut George and Basic Shapes. Used  a corner punch on all the edges. Used purple & white glitter on the digi image. Heat embossed the sentiment. Used a Martha Stewart doily lace edge punch. For Pearls I used liquid Pearls & a Pearl stick pin. Punched 2 images of a flower. Used foam circles to put 2 images of punched flower together to give it a 3D look . Added glitter to punched flower. Added flower to Pearl stick pin. Tied a ribbon to Pearl stick pin.
