A simple elegant frame with a poppie

   Simple but striking too. I love how this card turned out. ( I say that a lot don't I?)
As I had said in previous posts I color and then cut out my stamped images and wait for time to create a card with them. This one I wanted to pop the color of the poppies and I found a lovely raspberry scarp of card stock that was a perfect accent with the poppies.I cut a strip of green gingham and then scored the card top and bottom of where I was going to place the gingham. It kind of framed it. I then attached the oval matted flowers.( oh I added the simple small sentiment " so sorry") I used a sympathy saying inside the card.
     This will also me entered over at Mod Squad Challenge Blogs, gingham challenge.
I think you would enjoy the other entries so why not pop over and check them out.
    Thanks for stopping and have a great day.

More Halloween treats for you

I added the small tag with the monster hugs for fun as well as the googly eyes.

 Here are some Halloween treats I did for my daughters Gymnastic girls that she teaches. I love to make little goodies for her to give to the girls she teaches. These were really fast. I stamped the monster and colored it with copics and then cut them out. ( I did this while we drove down to visit her so it was, kind of thing you can do watching T.V.) I die cut the treat bag topper ( a sizzix die) and then stamped them with Raisin Boat back ground stamps to add some whimsy. I attached the bags with double sided red tape and then added the monster with foam tape to make it stand out I also added the googly eyes.
  I hope you like my little goodies.

Simple sweet pea's card for you

 This is a simple yet elegant card done with a sizzix embossing folder on color core paper it shows a hint of the under color by lightly sanding the embossed area. I used the new spellbinders die labels 18 to mat the simple sweet pea's I colored and die cut with a spellbinders oval die that I edged with a sponge and green momento ink.
  Enjoy the simple things in life.

Spring is coming... I hope

 Here are some cards to get your ready for spring. I used Copics to color the flowers. I used some of the new spellbinders dies.Labels 8 and doily motifs to mat the simple oval flower.
  I hope these cards bring a smile to your face and hope for warmer weather for those of us who live where the snow lasts too long.
