I made this for a NZ cardswap relating to August. I chose the green faceted embossed panel to represent Peridot, dark red to represent Spinel, (both AUgust gemstones) and the stars to represent the Perseids meteor showers (with sparkles) that occur during August. I used the flowers because it's nearly spring here in NZ. A drop of Glassy Accents on flowers for dew drops. The Hello senti was sent to me by Jude.

An extra sunny hello to you!
I used a sunny patterned paper that had shiny parts to peek through the suns rays. The diecut panel (unknown) is ink blended, stamped with a typed background with friendship words (unknown). A stacked sentiment die and gold Nuvo Drops.

Very Orange. Quite CAS. Not a colour I would choose to work with normally, but I found the background (from a calendar long ago), and the orange card with the hole already cut (Spellbinders), in my Bitz Box. With the smooshed stacked bold sentiment (also from the bitz box) it all came together nicely. I do like it when the Bitz Box provides the goodies. Fake splatter with a metallic gold pen.

Another Tulip card in the Parkinson's fundraiser series.
Tulips are stencilled, stamped then diecut. Background is stamped with DI's, gold embossed edge. The background is stamped again to get the separate butterfly which is inked, gold embossed and fussy cut. Sentiment is Hero Arts stamped, gold embossed.
A funfold for son's birthday, and yes, he rides.
The bike is stamped over DOxideInked paper and fussy cut. Patterned paper on panels, double diecut cheers. Added to panel on flap of 3 fold card fold. Card is held closed with small piece of magnet strip. Added the star so it looks like the bike is bursting out. A large "Happy Birthday - enjoy the ride" greeting inside the card.

The Woodware Bubble Bird is stamped onto card that has been wet and sprinkled heavily with Colour Infusions powder, then fussy cut. The panel is smooshed DI's also stamped with the bird to get the texture of the edges, as well as stamped with circles. The circles on the bird are outlined with gold pen and white pen. Feathers outlined in gold pen, leaves in gold pen and green pen. Eyes outlined in white pen. Stamped sentiment is my new TimHoltz/SAnonymous Tiny Sentiments, chopped up. Yay, we now have a craft shop just down the road that stocks all things TH!!

The stamped image (popped up) and sentiment are from Art Impressions, coloured with Copics. Background made using watercolour paper and blue and green Distress Inks puddled and printed. The yarn is some I've had for years. I like the simplicity of this card.

I've been starting to make cards to fundraise for our local Parkinson's Support Group (my hubby has Parkinson's). Their symbol is a red tulip, so I started there.
Diecut tulips (a couple of different die sets) with a soft grey stencilled background to set them off, a little charcoal satin bow and simple embossed sentiment. The dots on the tulips are Sakura gel pens and they only show up/sparkle in certain lights so I got lucky there.
I started with a blue panel and random white strips arranged in a zigzag pattern, then embossed it (EF is Ultimate Crafts). Matted on a darker blue with distressed edges. Diecut birds and sentiment, and some bling.

I love frogs. I used to pay schoolkids to bring tadpoles to put in my pond so I could watch the tranformation happening. Magic. This froggy is in holiday mode, all set for a cool dip.
This image (I think ? by Stampede or Eureka, no longer in business) is particularly cute, this beauty in her polkadot bikini (discovered in my Bitz Box). The background is on watercolour card, scribbles with Distress Crayons, spritzed and smudged. Miss froggy coloured with Copics and fussy cut.
I went back to check on my digi files and sadly can no longer find it - my computer decides when stuff disappears! I lost all my A Day for Daisies images too. Now I can't even go back and buy more. :-(

The stamps are Stampin' Up. The paperpieced croc, bird and frog are stamped onto smooshed and ink blended panel (Distress Inks) and also onto patterned paper (Perfect Prints). Other scenic stamps (lilys, lilypad, waves) are added to the panel (lilys, lilypad, waves) and the teeth are stamped separately on card and added under the PPaper croc. I used a pop-up inside from a tutorial on youtube by Lynn Dunn of Stamptastic Designs. I strengthened the front part of the croc with card because of the overhang. The gingham paper is Serif.

I have been making cards with red tulips as part of a local fundraiser for Parkinsons. My husband has Parkinsons Disease and they have provide support, information and education to those who live with Parkinsons. So you will see tulips from me from time to time as I build up a collection. I usually never make two cards exactly the same, but I may make a production series to try it out.
I have no idea what brand the tulips are they came to me unbranded, the tag is NCraft, and the stars are drop-outs from a coverplate die. Lots of snippets here red, green, navy & white tag.
