This sentiment is so bold and beautiful. I embossed it with Versamark and white embossing powder, then I added some white pigment to look like a chalkboard. yes! these are the chalkboard greetings from MFT. I then added some finisihing flourishes in the same way with different embossing powders. The green is a corrugated glitter cardboard. I dry embossed the flower with a stylus to curl it up and added stickles. I added some bling,my favorite thing to do. The pattern paper is Gina K designs. I added a big button with hemp cord.

Here is the inside. The saying is from MFT-LJD pretty posies, I love this font.

I used Laina Lamb Mod borders on the side panel with pink lemonade ink and then without reinking it again used it to do a border on the circle underneath. I also used a pinking edge on the panel. I cut a dizzy doily for the main cicle and added LJD peaceful wildflowers the stamp and die with a few MFT inks. I added the sentiment from the same set on a fishtail flagstax and a butterfly from Tag you’re It. I added a button with hemp cord and used that as an antenna or the butterfly, I love how the cord just maintains whatever shape you put it in. Now as you know lately I have a love for sequins so I added a few.

Now onto my cards, Yes there are so many flowers, I could not stop at one.

The first one is a tri-shutter card. Here is the tutorial.

It opens to this

I have used several Fred she Said flowers on it. The background paper is Summer Roses, the pink paper is from my scrap. I have used the pre colored rose spray surrounding the sentiment from the and the individaul roses colored in copics from the rose spray and candle and my favorite ornate butterflies. Everything is distressed with distress inks and the sentiments are from MFT- cheerful blessings and Chalkboard greeetings inked with MFT ink. I have lately been on a sequins kick, love the look so I added a few. I can’t believe that I have had them forever and have not been using them. The roses have stickles on it, the butterflies have pearls and I added some ribbon and a button. The main sentiment also has liquid pearls in lavender lace. Oval was cut with Spellbinders Dies.

Close up of the rose colored with copics and leaves colored with mowed lawn distress ink.

and her it is all laid out flat

The next card is a bendi fold card. Here is the tutorial.

This looks awesome in real life. I have used Fred She said flowers again, I used the pre colored New Happy flowers, sized them to 1/2 inch and used a emboss stylus to round them added distress inks on the sides to bring them out. Isn’t the Background fabulous, it is a FRED SHE SAID background, one Tracey threw in for free when you get the Wedding Emma, love it. Just size it what you want, here I have one that is 1.5 x 4.2; 5.5 x 4.5 and 3.5 x 4.2 and then cut as needed.  I added some grass with prisma pencils, added some lavender stalks with pencils, added some sequins to the middle and again sequins, told you it is just fun. I added ribbons near the slits to make it neat and added again the ornate butterflies, all colored with copics and distress inks.

here it is open one layer, I know the back needs to be neater, I am going to add a backing to it all.

and here it is open all the way. Isn’t Emma and the butterfly so sweet, she is colored with copics, sentiment is MFT again inked with MFT inks. Sequins, happy flowers, ribbon and ornate Butterflies.

Fred She Said is also having a sale!

Have Fun & Good Luck!

I made this card for a graduation from U of MI. I used PI- book in hand and colored her with copics and paper pieced her sweater as I had the perfect color cardstock. I added glossy accents to her book, bag,collar and shoes and barrett. I used a spellbinder die to cut her out.  I just followed the sketch and used MFT dies- medium scallops, flag stax, stars, corner and a brad for the smallest star. I added some pearls to the corner and her shoes. the paper behind is embossed with dots.

I love the inside

also she will be a teacher so the other side on the inside has this, an image from Fred She Said colored with copics.
