Magnolia Tilda with Straw Hat Any Occasion Card


Hello Dearest Readers,

Well, here I am again - so fast, too! I haven't been feeling well lately. Getting old isn't for sissies, that's for sure! Almost a month ago, I fell over the opened door of the dishwasher and broke the door. I didn't see the stupid door that had been left down because the floor is white tile and the interior of the dishwasher WAS also white. So, I missed the door and landed on it when I fell. I'm hurting and still have bruises on my shins. My back is aching if I turn a certain way. I fell so hard and am so glad that the lower rack with the spikey things wasn't out, too. I need to find a cave to live in, I think!

Today, I loaded seven cards in my Etsy shop. The card I'm sharing today is for sale along with some cute little blank note cards ----->

My Etsy Shop




I chose an older Tilda that I thought was so sweet and needed to be used. I made the larger flowers all by myself, LOL! The rosebuds are imported. The card edge has been inked in white. Tilda has been watercolored. The interior of the card has been finished on both panels. It's such a girly card! Here is a shot of the interior:



Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you like my creation. Please, if you have time, stop by my Etsy Shop. There might be something there that you might like to get! I've got some good bargains there!

I hope you will return again very soon!

XO,

Chris

Jedi Edwin Birthday Card


Hello Sweet Readers,

Are you still here? It's been such a long time since I've posted. I am so sorry, but life has a way of eating every spare minute I'm having. Thank you for visiting this time. I hope you won't forget me. Please know that if I could be here more often, I would.

Today, I am sharing a birthday card featuring Jedi Edwin. I apologize for the terrible photo, but as I was adjusting the light, the ring that holds the base to the pole of the lamp flew out of the base and fell somewhere behind my scrap table. I will have to look for it tomorrow in the daylight (it's 1:30 AM now). So, the photo is dark. I thought this stamp was so adorable. My image has been painted with Distress Inks and then enhanced with Prisma Colored Pencils. Here is my card front.

It's hard to see in the photo, but the sky is a clear pink with gray at the bottom level. It looks so cool IRL. My little scene is a little wonky, so please don't laugh too hard! I drew the house and the various soil components. I never claimed to be an artist, LOL.

The inside has been finished as well on both panels. There are glittery elements inside and out. The moon and large star are elevated on pop dots. I added the enamel dots to simulate additional moons.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you like my creation. Please, if you have time, stop by my Etsy Shop. There might be something there that you might like to get! I'm always looking for a bargain maybe there is one hiding there just for you!

I hope you will return again very soon!

XO,

Chris
