Wild Flower Card

Happy July!  Soon to be Independence Day in the United States!

I love the countryside.  I think that the USA has some gorgeous countryside to be seen.  When I was a child my dad took the family all over the US and I got to see so much. I will always be grateful to him for that.

My card today is a sweet card made with a Prima flower and flower dazzles.

What are flower dazzles you ask?  They are stickers and come on a sheet.  If you are interested in looking, you can see them on http://www.paperwishes.com/.  I don't receive anything from this company to mention their products (actually I don't receive anything - if I do I will always mention it in my write ups).

What is so cool about them is 1-there are a lot of them on a sheet and 2- they are small and stackable so are just right for smaller work like A2 cards!


Dazzles come in a number of colors including gold and silver and also holographic colors like red and purple.

Here is a dazzle flower in the upper right corner.

Hope you enjoyed today's card.  Happy July!  Be safe!

Vase with White Roses

There are so many little embellishments on the market today!  And they are all so cute!  I found these white plastic vases at Michaels the other day and thought they would make a good card decoration.



You can really get a good look at the dimension of the card here. I added the vase with mounting tape even though it is already dimensional.

(darn that yellow color!)

I used the epiphany crafts banner punch to make my little epoxy banners. I used bakers twine in lime to "string" them.


(ahh....the right color again)
I love the little paper roses.

I was tempted to use my alcohol inks to color the vase but decided to leave it the color it is.
Hope you enjoyed my card.  Be inspired!
