Quick Cards for Family and Friends!

Good Morning to you all.  I woke up this morning to a thunder storm complete with rumbling.  I live in southern California and we don't get many (if any) thunder storms.  I grew up in upstate New York and we had thunderstorms all the time. So this was a very welcome change to the recent hot weather.  And it felt like home for a little while.

Today's cards are quick and easy to make.

DressForm -
I used a Sizzix Tim Holtz die for this.  I was going to ink it but liked it plain so I left it as is.  I lined the right side with gold ink from Smooch.  I like the buttons and gold wing (cut from an embossed piece of gold glossy). You can stamp a sentiment in the empty space or add flowers.  I think next time I may stamp a pattern on the dress form.




Glitter Bird - The bird is another die cut from one of the Tim Holtz Sizzix dies (the one with the birdcage).  I added glitter to the entire bird (Its really sparkly in real life. The camera doesn't capture this well.)  I painted the branch with copper Smooch.  I added some yarn and a silk ribbon and done!  What could be easier?



Flamingo and Palm - I chose a corner of a scrapbook paper that had this pretty swirl design and used that as my mat.  I had purchased these glitter flamingos and palms from Michael line Remembrance (I couldn't resist the flamingos!)  I added some bling and pearls and done!  I think this one could use some ribbon so I will go back before sending this one to my dad and add that.



Hope you all have a good day.
