Happy Birthday Embossed Acetate Card / BLOG CANDY GIVEAWAY!!!

TGIF!  I am so ready for the weekend and it's supposed to be a nice one! I've got some stuff to prepare for a friend but other than that hopefully we will be beach bound and get a little shopping in!

 Today I am featuring one of my favorite cards.  It is made with Embossed Acetate.  I ran the top half of the card (acetate) through the Lots of Dots embossing folder and placed a piece of Perfect Plum cardstock on the inside for the base.  I colored the flower with the Prismacolor pencils and did lots of shading for the beautiful detail. I used the upcoming new Designer Paper for the top of the card and the sentiment mat at the bottom.  I think it's just beautiful!

Praying For You - Thoughts and Prayers

Good morning everyone.  Thanks to my new followers from yesterday and I hope all of my followers are inspired to do a little creating yourself.  If you are not following yet, you can follow my blog via one of the signups on the right hand side.  You wouldn't want to miss any blog candy! :)

Today's card is made using the Thoughts and Prayers set.  I really love this set.  I have made a get well card to show you today.  I used the tulips embossing folder for the border of the card.  It adds a nice bit of elegance to the card.  The little butterfly is mad using the Embosslits Beautiful Wings. If you are not familiar with these dies, check them out!  They cut and emboss in one step!

It's supposed to rain here in Sunny Florida today but that's ok we need it!  Enjoy your day!

Friends

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone!  Todays card follows the weekly sketch from Karen Giron's blog...the Sweetest Thing.  I love the layout of the sketch as it allows for lots of layers.  One of those layers was made using the dots embossing folder.  It is so versatile and adds a little punch to any project.

There are only two weeks left for Sale-a-bration.  If you would like to place an order you can order directly from the link at the top of my blog.  There are lots of really nice set as well a the border scallop punch you can get for free if you spend $50.

Enjoy!

TGIF - Lovey Dovey!

Today I thought I would step out of the box and pick a color I have not used in a while!  I have to practice for the weekly color challenges to keep up with Lee because as soon as I post the challenge she knocks it out of the ball park with an outrageous card! :)

For this card I chose Perfect Plum, a beautiful shade of purple and stamped on the Shimmery cardstock (one of my favorite papers) it makes for a quite elegant card.  I embossed the perfect plum strip and used my new Beautiful Wings embosslit die.  They not only cut the shape for you but they emboss it at the same time!  NICE!

Here is the final product!  Leave me some comments and tell your friends about my blog! I am half way to 100 followers through Google reader, subscription and networked blogs.  As soon as I hit 100 I will have some blog candy! :)

TGIF!
