INAS Challenge #36

Good Morning,

I am back!  The surgery wasn't that bad....and I feel so much better not having this infection running through me.  I have a lot more energy.  I still have stitches in my mouth and my mouth is sore, but I hope that will go away soon!

We have a new challenge over at International Art and Soul the challenge this Fortnight is "Art Nouveau"  I LOVE Art Nouveau to think about what it is, picture Tiffany lamps with the beautiful lamp shades and you've got it!

So here is my design team project.

Two butterfly lanterns and a card.  Wouldn't this make a perfect Hostess gift?  I try to never go to a party empty handed.  

Here are the lanterns lit up.

And here is the card.

 Recipe for these lanterns and card:

Paper - Vellum Variety Pack - Paper Accents
Paper - The Sweetest Thing and Lemonade (scraps from my stash too)
Pearls on card - Prima

I am entering this project into the following challenges:

Creative Artiste Mixed Media - #39 Challenge ATG
Cut It Up - Challenge #150 Anything But A Card (entering butterfly lanterns)

INAS Challenge #35

Good Morning

Welcome to another Challenge at International Art & Soul.  The challenge for this fortnight is #35 June 10th - June 23rd Use a Sentiment as the focal point.

Here is my design team card:

This is graphic 45 paper "Time to Flourish - August"  I cut the sentiment out with my die - Stitched Rectangle Frame.  Then turned the paper over again to make the frame. I added some Stickel glue to give it a little shine.

Here is the inside:

The sentiment stamp that I used inside is from Cardz TV "Bigger Everyday Sayings" I love these stamps!

It's A Guy Thing

Good Morning,


Monday was my sweet husband's birthday.  I received this digital stamp from my Copic Class at Kit and Clowder.  It is called The Workbench by lili of the valley.  As soon as I saw it, I knew it was perfect for my husband, he is always doing something in his workshop.

Here is what I learned in the class - How to make jeans look dirty and worn, how to make a flannel checkered shirt...and many other things.  The sentiment is from Cardz TV "It's a guy thing".  The #1 best guy flair is from my stash.  The paper is all from Authentique "Durable" I used the dies Spellbinders Card Creator and I roughed the edges with my tool.

Here is a close-up of the digital stamp:

Here is the inside of the card:

The Happy Birthday Sentiment is from Cardz TV again, this one is called - Bigger Everyday Sayings.  The tools are from the stamp set - Hero Arts Father's Day.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
