First Up: Pretty Cards!

A picture-heavy post here but pretties! They're not the best photo quality since they were photographed at night...

These were created for the challenges at Moxie Fab World's Blog.

This card is one I'm pretty proud of. It's my first attempt at a shaker card. I've learned that I will need to get rid of the static cling before sealing it... Live and learn, right? I love the two gold colors. I also love this tree stamp. It's LOVELY in gold! The circles and leaves were punched out of gold leaves that were a gift from a coworker and have been sitting in a box for years. It's perfect for the All That Glitters Is Gold Challenge.




These next two were also for the All That Glitters Is Gold Challenge. I cut the leaves on the second one to make them more like feathers. I love the rich autumn colors and the pair of gold and kraft.


This card is very simple but colorful. I used acrylics to make a rainbow background for the vellum sentiment (which is appropriate, right?). It's on handmade paper that was a gift from a friend. The paint is the adhesive for the vellum. Much better way to adhere it. I made it for the Color Media Challenge and the General Craft Supplies Challenge.


That's all for now. I've got a couple more cards I'll post later but some eye candy for now. I like the idea of having one place for me to keep record of the cards I make.

Hopefully these will bring joy to the people who see them as well. :)
