Card: Happy Mother's Day!

To add a little shimmer to this card  I painted a wash* of Micro Pearl Pearl Ex over the large floral print paper.  The inside of the card was decorated with the inside of the oval that was cut for the front and flowers fussy cut from the large floral paper.

My Core’dinations Creative Frenzy

Core'dinations card stock is pretty cool stuff - unlike anything else out there.  It has a nice weight and comes in fabulous colors and styles and its fun to play with!  If you really like something what could be better than a chance to try out for a design team that gives you the chance to work with such a fun product?  So... here goes!


First, a masculine card with sanded Core Essentials:



This little purse looks deceptively large in this photo but it is a diminutive 2.5x4.5 inches - the ideal size for a gift card!



The vintage look of the Times Nouveau Collection by Graphic 45 is perfect with the Core'dinations Vintage Collection.



I hope you have enjoyed seeing these projects and feel inspired to make some creations of your own!
