Noah's big flower

Another easel card... told you I was working on figuring this out.. I keep seeing so many great ones of these.. I choose an image from Squigglefly called Noah's Big Flower.  The artist is Cheryl Alger. The challenge this week for Squigglefly is tall and short. On this card I felt Noah's flower was tall and the bug was short.  Also my strips are long and short.
The dies are from Spellbinders.

The Greatest Gift

For all the Father's , a Happy early Father's Day... This card was made as a favor to a Missionary at our church who stopped by to see if I had any Father's Day cards that he could have.  But I did not have any so I told him I would make one.
To me cards for me should not be over done.. most men I know do not want a lot of fuss on their cards.
The images are from Squigglefly. The first image is called Buddies , and the saying is The Greatest Gift. I colored the image with copic markers and usined my spellbinders dies.. Then I added som designer paper and a little Wassie tape... and some white enamel.

I colored my image with copic markers.. and wish I had looked up how a Pansie should look.. next time I will make it more realistic.  The challenge this week is to have something wrap around the card. I choose to use lace and twine. .   The Card was inspired by  one I saw in Cards, magazine.

todays project is a little different.. I decied to do a 4 X 4  canvas and to do vintage.. Vintage is a streach for me.. I so prefer moderen.. bu we all need to try different things.. the image is from Squigglefly and is called Vintage women.  The canvas you can pick up in little 4 packs at Michael's  I colored the image with copic markers . Than did an old method of tearing aroung the image and aging it  with distress inks and  a dark  brown copic pen.  I colored a white doily using direct to paper with different colors of distress ink.  the canvas was painted with acrylic paint in an ivory then I added some fun embellishments that I picked up at Michaels.. So make your vintage card and join us at outlaws for  Vintage this week on Paper ala mode.
