Fleur De Lis

Today, I have a simple card to share but it was fun to make.
I love this particular die from Spellbinders and wanted to make a card using the Fleur De Lis.
I picked a simple tan/cream tone and tone theme for a masculine feel. I inked the edges and created the flower in the center using a punch, cut slits, rounded them with the end of a paint brush, turned one down and the other up, then put a pearl in the center. The lighter card stock has a nice shimmery look, hard to see with the pictures and the lighting was not the best to capture the look and feel of the card.

I would love to know what you think by adding a comment below.

Just Magnolia Mishap

Have you ever had one of those days, when you started a project as one thing and then it ended up something else? Well that is what happened to me. I was starting to make a Just Magnolia challenge card and then I remembered that I needed to make a birthday card but it needed to be masculine. By the time I decided on what image I was going to use and made most of the card, I realized I did not use any Magnolia stamps, YIKES!!!!
Well, I thought I would share it with you anyways. The layout was fun to use and I chose an ocean theme in blues and sandy tans. I painted Radiant Pearls on the punched branches to give them a shimmery look. I used some mesh (you can get a large roll at the hardware store), this projects a fish net look and feel to the card.



Hope you enjoyed it and I would love to know what you think.

Gecko Birthday

I hope everyone has survived the week and looking forward to our first fall weekend. Around here (NW Oregon), the weather is definitely changing... much colder in the mornings and it takes longer to warm up during the day. I do look forward to the beautiful fall colors as the trees start to change.

Today I am going to show you a card I made for my son's birthday. I am addicted to Tilda from Magnolia but thought, he would like something a little more masculine. This is what I came up with and I hope you will like it too.






Supplies:
Stamped images, Gecko by Stamp a Mania, Saying by Hero Arts
Others: Spellbinders, Papers by DCWV & 29th Street Market, ribbon & pearls
