Inspiration

Today I am sharing 2 cards.

The first cards was made for Darlene's Crafty Secrets challenge last week over at Paper Craft Planet. The flower pot was made using DP from the Pastel Paper pad and the Lattice border die from Nestabilities. All flowers were made using the Daisy Heads and Flower Creations 3 dies of Spellbinders along with DP from the Pastel Paper Deisigns pad. Sentiment is from the Garden Girls stamp set of Crafty Secrets. For this card I was inspired by this cute Flower pot hanging that I saw at the MLS blog.

For my second card, I was playing around with Flower Soft and the Classic Frame die from Spellbinders. I got inspire by this tutorial that I found on Markies Mom's blog. Bunch of flowers is from the Thanksgiving stamp set of Crafty Secrets which is stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and collored with Copic markers. I then used flower soft on the flowers. The frame surrounding the main image was made using the Classic Frame die and following Faith's tutorial. Ribbon was made using 'bow easy'.

Wishing You the Best Today

Here is a card that I made for the Crafty Secret Challenge Darlene hosts in Paper Craft Planet. Every Sunday, Darlene had volunteered to host the challenge. This is a 1-2-3 challenge to used 1 image, 2 different papers and 3 accessories. So if you like using Crafty Secrets products and enjoy challenges, check it out. You can find a quick like on my side bar to the site. Hope to see you there as well.

For this card, I used an image from the Heartwarming Vintage Cuts - Bless Our Family. These images are so great to use in any paper crafting projects. This was mounted on to DP from the Boxer Paper Pad of Basic Grey. In fact all DP used for this card is from that collection. Tied a knot with the ribbon and used a circular metal clip on top of the image and a long brad to the side of the card. Lastly, I used a white opaque Signo pen to dot all around the edge of the card.
