Hello,

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend. I made three cards using Fred she said African Violet images.

She has some beautiful images, and the beauty is that you can buy them recolored or black and white. I used only the black and white as i like to color my own.

The background was done with distress oxides and then some splatters of water. I colored the image with zig color pens, let it dry, fussy cut and raised it on the card. Added sequins. This was a quick and easy card. The sentiment is from MFT stamps and added twine to finish the card. Popped the panel on a card base.

The second card uses the same images but I used the single flower instead.

I took a sheet of paper, first added the leaves and clear embossed it. Then added distress oxides over it. I cut the sheet diagonally so I made two cards out of it. I aligned where i wanted the flowers to go and added little leaves and colored them with comic markers. The leaves are from Hero Arts stamp. The flowers were colored with Zig pens and then for two of them i added glossy accents. Once all dry I added them to the card. The diagonal pice was popped up and then the flowers were added. Added a sentiment on the top corner and added some sequins.

The third card uses the other part of the diagonal sheet. Used Fred she said African Violets again.

A similar layout as the first one, just alternated the side. Colored the flowers with zig clean color pens and added glossy accents to one of the flower.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

Hello

Making a sympathy card always makes you sad and that is why I like to make them a little cheerful.

Do you often wonder if you need products from many companies, well this card sure makes you feel justified. This card had so many mistakes and I am glad I stuck with it.

I started with cutting all the dies, The flowers are from MFT- gerberra daisies. The frame is from Spell binders. I used Gina K design inks to color all of them on a 80 pound paper. I colored the frame with two different blue inks, light and then dark on the edges. Then I colored the flowers in orange and yellow, two shades of each. One was gina K and one was Distress inks. The greens were done the same way- they are a die from MFT too. I did the coloring while I was waiting for my son to be done at the gym in the cafe. I had a couple of little girls watch, it was sweet.

I cam home and started working on the insides, this is where it all went south. I started with adding rajni chawla crystals, while loved it on the petals it was not good in the middle. So I removed it from the middle and added a glob of nuvo drops. Did not like that, then I added glossy accents and by then it looked dirty. Needless to say I removed that. Then I thought well let me add the inside that the die provides and cut that in brown. It looked good but needed something more. When I was done assembling the card I added glossy accents, left it alone and liked how it looked in the morning. The background was done using Honey bee Lotus stamp embossed in Ranger gold embossing powder. I stamped the sentiment on a brown piece of paper and white heat embossed it. I cut it without measuring but luckily it fit the exact size. Added some sequins. If you look closely the top flower where there is a sequins had not embossed fully, so I added lines with a versamark pen and heat embossed, it is thicker than the other lines. The frames have some yellow spots, sometimes if you stick with it, it all comes together nicely. For a final touch I added some sequins. I am glad I did not give up on it. Some supplies I shop from a local store in Livonia. I have added link to that.

Thank you for visiting and for your sweet comments.

Hello

Here are two cards I made using the Concord and 9th turn about stamps – Dahlia is this one. I think I will stay with traditional stamps. I did use the Misti but these were still not the same for me. I know a lot of people love them.

They do help using multiple colors and end up being colorful. I added a few sequins and some shimmer with a shimmer pen.

Thank you for visiting and for your sweet comments.

hello

here are a set of cards that are so fun. I love the sentiments on it.

They were fun to do. I colored them with zig clean color pens. Added Nuevo drops and sequins.

Have u used the lemon, sage and ginger soap. This is the 4 oz soap.

this next set is all butterflies. I colored the butterflies with gel pens. I used the MISTI to stamp the sentiment three times to make it crisp, of course I should have let the glue dry, in the morning I found the sentiment spread a little. One of the cards was stenciled and added a butterfly on the corner. I added Nuvo drops to it.

The wake me up soap has peppermint and spearmint oil with peppermint leaves. I love faith based stamps. the sentiments are wonderful. i stamped the mft leaves in the corner with many mft inks. For the next card I stamped the sentiment and added a border to it. Then I stamped the butterflies and added sticklers to it. For the third card I did something really simple. I stamped the sentiment and added a ribbon and gold Nuvo drops.

Hello everyone

Here is the third part of 2017 cards.

I do keep my instagram account active, the handle is zehrarosebest.

The first set of cards:

I love the rose from mft stamps. it is a good layering rose and a beauty by itself, I used mft inks and added rajnichawla crystals to make it shine. This is an mft sentiment. I have added glossy accents all over. The next card i used an acrylic block and added different distress oxide inks over it, sprayed water and stamped that. Once it was dry I used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment as it took at least three attempts to make it dark and crisp. The rose soap has rose clay and is so soothing. It is made with olive, palm and coconut oil. It has shea butter, castor oil and sweet almond oil to fatten them.

This card was so much fun to do. The card was stamped with an mft background stamp with versa mark ink and then embossed it with ranger gold embossing powder. I love the shirt die as it is a perfect focal point. I stamped an old mft flourish and added a birthday stamp, all using mft electric red ink. and the inside has the flourish

This set is colorful and I love this stamps. The roses are from mft, the lily is from Altenew. I used both mft and altenew inks here. On the roses I embossed the sentiment and on the lily I just stamped over the lily. I also added stickles and sequins for the final touch. The lavender soap has lavender buds and smells heavenly. The essential oils and the ingredients helps soothe the skin.

The set above was cool to do. The first was stenciled with tim holtz stencil with distress oxide inks and then the sentiment was stamped. The butterflies are from mft and then stickles were spread on it. For the second card i stamped the hero arts flower, masked it and added leaves. After i colored it with zig clean color pens I added a sentiment. I added glossy accents on the center of the flower and popped a ladybug on it with glossy accents on the top. I added a simple sentiment to it.

The lip balms are awesome. They have cocoa butter, castor oil, sweet almond oil and beeswax. The bubblegum flavor is loved by many.

The set below was quick cards to do. The first one was all mft dies layered over one another and then the sentiment stamped just before i adhered the leaves. I added a few gems. for the second card it was all embossed snowflakes from mft. And then embossed with versa mark ink and different embossing powders. i added a four layer sentiment. I cute it from three white card stock pieces and one on the top in pink.

The lip balms are Pina colada.

The above cards were from mft stamps. The first one is just layering of stamps and mixed leaves from another stamp. I added a ribbon and the sentiment at the bottom. I added some rajnichawla crystals. For the second card i masked the center and then stamped the flowers on both sides. I colored them with gel pens. I added glossy accents and a twine for the final touch.

The soaps are 1 oz. They come in 1oz, 4oz and 1 pound size.

The last card for this post was for a birthday.

This was just stenciling with distress inks. I added a sentiment and some small stars and confetti in black ink. I added some novo drops since this was for a male.

Have you seen my soaps or lip balms, the body butters are awesome.

Hello everyone

Here are five more cards- all were made for various reasons.

If you have not been to fredshesaid designs- do visit them, Tracie has some beautiful images- both colored and black and white, she also has cut files.

I prefer using black and white and coloring on my own so that is what I did with this card.

I watercolored the flowers and butterfly. i handcuff all the images. The background paper is also from Fredshesaid.

This next image was bought from a fair. love the artist work.

It was one I could not resist buying.

Here is a card using lots of medium.
This was done with a new die from whimsy stamps- it was with Bev Rochester– her blog is worth watching and she has tons of inspiration with this die.

This card was also inspired by the gift that went with the card

Here is another birthday card

I used fredshesaid images on this one too.

Here are two cards my daughter made with mini lawn fawn images.

I love her style, these were end of the year teacher cards that she added to their gifts.

My daughter, niece and me went to a rock design class, this is the same person I bought the tile from. loved the class and the results.

Here is the last cards I made using Tim Holtz mini flowers and distress oxide inks.

Hope you enjoyed seeing the cards.

Here is the inside

This was a simple card with Hero arts flower

I loved adding the white highlights.

This was a card made with no supplies and one I needed on the spot.

I handwrote the sentiment and added things that were around.

I enjoyed making this card for backdropinabox-she was celebrating 100 K followers, and she is inspiring to follow.

I had these backgrounds made and used it to cut the flowers, love the vibrancy and dylusion sentiment.

This card was made with honeybee stamps- this country bloom stamp is lovely and I was inspired by Jennifer mcguire shaker card using tulle.

Thanks for visitng and for your sweet comments. Hope you enjoyed seeing some cards that were made.

I made this for a friend. I was inspired by MFT DT and Julia( I love the way she organizes her roses)

I started with red card stock and then used versa mark ink and ranger gold embossed powder with an MFT background stamp. Love how it came out. I added a ribbon. Three roses using the same paper and embossing as the background.The rolled roses form MFT are fabulous, Added more diecuts of leaves from the wild greenery. I diecut a label and added a simple Happy Birthday sentiment and to add balance added three gold sequins. stickles on the roses and leaves finished the panel. Popped it on the card with foam.
