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: Cherish

The letters on this wedding card are the first initials of the bride (t) and groom (r).  The "cherish" charm was originally copper colored but I changed the color by painting over it with a silver leafing pen and then antiquing it with black acrylic paint.  I'm adding this card to this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.  The theme is "Wedding or Anniversary."

Card: Good For A Kiss Anytime

I love this stamp set!  I first time I laid eyes on it I had to have it.  The set consists of the "Good For A Kiss Anytime" ticket and the "I love you (I admit it)" stamp (which I used on the inside of the card.)

I'm linking this card to the very first Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge.  The challenge is to use your hoarded goodies to make something that reflects your style.   I love everything from clean and simple to shabby chic to grunged-up Tim Holtz style.  This card hits somewhere in the middle and most of my cards tend to be like this because it's what come easiest to me - it's layered and has many elements yet it's clean and balanced.
