Fashionista Ladies "Hello" Card

A single piece of 12x12 two sided card stock was my inspiration for this card.  The paper is from the Fashionista Collection, Haute Couture #4500079 by graphic45 unique papercrafting.  One side of the paper features 12 boxes of fasionista ladies and the reverse is a dictionary type page of definitions of all words involving fashion. I chose a set of ladies and cut it from the paper keeping the red border that surrounds each group of ladies.  It is then mounted on a piece of the dictionary paper.  All is mounted on red Brazzil card stock.  A beige card base is used.  The swirls are cut with a Cricut "Home Accents" cartridge.  The "Hello" is stamped in Onyx Black Versafine ink and then embossed.  The card corners and all paper corners have been rounded.  I loved making this card and made one with the sentiment "Happy Birthday" for my daughter, Robin.

JustRite Stamper Spring Flowers Birthday Card

This is my first posting of a card.  I love the JustRite Stamps.  This is a Hydrangea Flower, stamped on water color paper with Versafine black onyx ink and then embossed with Clear Detail embossing powder.  The flower was colored with Prism Watercolor pencils and blended.  I applied Crystal Stickles to the centers of the flowers.  Lavendar Brazzil paper was layered on a patterned paper.  Blue satin ribbon from Michael's was used.  Add the message of your choice.  I used "Happy Birthday."  Fun, easy and with good results.
