Card: Getaway

When our dear friends celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary (see their card here) they commemorated the occasion with a trip to Florida.  I sent them this card to wish them a "bon voyage!"  I used modeling paste to make the stars - I colored it with red acrylic paint.  This card is being linked to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge where the theme is "Paste."

Card: We Wish You a Merry Christmas

I'm linking this card to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge where the challenge this week is to use a stamp.  This stamp is a cool vintage image by Stampington & Company! Gee, could I use the word "stamp" any more in just 2 sentences?! :D  In order to get the thin brown cardstock mat around the stamped image and the holly print I glued the die cuts to the cardstock then fussy cut around them.  The white paper doily was misted with  Lindy's Stamp Gang Burnished Brass Moonshadow Mist.

Card: The Best Day

The Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge  was to stamp on something other than plain paper or cardstock.  I took a plain white paper flower and made it into somethin' fancy!
