Mother's Day part 2

And here is the other card. Pretty much the same but with certainly
celery - why am I only now enjoying these colour combinations?

I think this stamp set lends itself beautifully to collage.  The picture quality from my iPhone isn't fabulous, but you can see that I wheeled the Vanilla piece in Barely Banana ink first (Very Vintage wheel), then stamped the large flower in Lavender Lace in the corner, and stamped the small flowers in Barely Banana (and stamped extra flowers on scrap and cut them out), and finally the vine image in certainly celery.  I roughed the edges of each layer with the edge distressing tool and put a clear diamond brad in the cut out flower for some bling factor.  The sentiment is stamped in Chocolate chip ink, and the ribbon is chocolate chip taffeta.

Mother's Day part 1

I forgot to show you the Vintage Vogue cards I made for my own Mum and
my MIL . It appears I can only post one photo per email so the other
card will be on the next post.
I made both of these cards with leftover scraps from the Mother's Day
class last month.  I am trying to use up some of the colours that
will retire soon such as Lavender Lace and Barely Banana.

Looks like the line spacing and paragraphs are a little iffy with the iPhone, but nothing I can't edit later when back with the computer, right?

On another note - I finished 50 swaps last night!  Woot!  I am unsure how many more I will do, but at least I have a respectable start.   I'll post pictures of my swaps later so I can keep the element of surprise for any Convention-going Demo buddies  who may follow my blog.

Karen Thomas, if you are reading - I got a lovely letter from you which says I am not allowed to open until my birthday!  You meanie!  LOL.
