THINKING OF YOU

I borrowed a few flower stamps from my mom and this is one of the cards I have done so far using one of them.  I seem to always gravitate towards making birthday cards so decided to make a sympathy card since I only have one in my stash.  I have a big pile of hand made paper that has just been sitting there for about 4 years untouched, so decided that I had to use a piece!  It was hard to cut & punch.  It left little fuzzies and I just about gave up using it but I liked the way it turned out.  I used my Copic markers to color the image.

Here is the inside sentiment;

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

HAPPILY EVER AFTER

This design if from the July/Aug edition of Papercrafts magazine.  The designer is Shannon Selsor.  Hers is a thank you card but I thought it would make a nice wedding card and since I don't have any in my stash that is what I decided to do.  The senitment on the inside is from Fiskar's Just Married Quotes clear stamp set.  The punch is from EK Success called Flower & Flourish.  The sentiment on the envelope and the front of the card is from Inkadinkadoo Wedding/Marriage clear stamp set and the butterfly punch is Martha Stewart.  The pattern on the card front is hand stamped using a flourish stamp I got in the $1.50 bin at Michael's.  Now I am going to try and get my own creative juices going and try to finish up one of my own designs.  Wish me luck!
