Another Window Screen Card

Hello~ I'm here with another card for the Make it Monday challenge over at Nichole's blog. I worked a little closer to Melissa Phillips tutorial with this one.
See the post below for my other entry and the flower sets I used. Thanks for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

Window Screen Card

Hello friends~ I'm here to post this card I made using the awesome tutorial from Melissa Phillips for the Make it Monday challenge over at Nichole's blog. I really enjoy Melissa's tutorials and I totally love her sweet paper crafting style. Here's the card I made for the challenge.
For this card, I pulled out a few of my favorite flower sets from PTI including Ruby Rose, Rosy Posie and Happiness in Bloom. I used one of my favorite color combinations of Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, Canyon Clay and Limeade Ice. Thanks so much for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

Greatest Blessings

Hello~~ I'm here with one more card that I made for the warm & cozy challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room. I enjoyed working with these warm tones so much, I jumped right in and made another card using them.

This card uses all scraps from my stash. I love it when I can do that!! The fancy rectangles were cut using Spellbinders and the tea cups are from PTI. However, I did add a lacy border to the rim of the tea cup using the small rectangle frame. I simply cut the edge to fit the tea cups and added a single flower from the border punch, to the center of each of the tea cups.
The flower border is cut using a Martha Stewart border punch and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. Thanks for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

The Happiest of Birthdays!

Hello~~ I'm back with another card that I made today for the challenge over at the Sweet 'n Sassy blog. It's a birthday challenge and since I love their wonderful bird images so much, I chose to use their Goldfinch image from the set Under His Wings.

A Kraft cardstock base and some scraps from my stash were used along with a flower border punch from Martha Stewart. I stamped the image using Fine Linen ink from PTI and then colored the bird with my copics. I used the copic black liner to do all the line work and accents to the bird. To the top right corner, I added a small green banner cut from scraps and added two prima flowers which I topped off with a little red bow. Thanks so much for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

You're My Cup of Tea

Hello paper lovers~ I'm posting this card I made today to fill two challenges. The Kraft Journal is hosting a sketch challenge #156 and The Shabby Tea Room is having a warm & cozy challenge. Here's the card I made to meet both of those challenges.
I used a Kraft cardstock base. The tea cup is from PTI and I believe the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. I embossed all of the cream colored cardstock pieces using embossing folders from sissix and the smallest piece, that the tea cup is on, is embossed using a scrap piece of burlap that I folded around my piece of cardstock and ran it through my Cuttlebug. Twill and lace are added to the center and I think they give it a very neutral, feminine touch. Thanks for looking! Blessings~ Birgit
