Flower tag

This flower tag is for the Symphony of Flowers challenge. The bottom tag is a standard manilla office tag that I got in a pack from a resale store. The top tag is cut from a vintage book about flowers. I used bubble wrap to stamp grey and green acrylic paint, then added color with distress ink, markers and butterfly rub ons.

I like the way this looks in person... but looking at it in the picture I think I should have added a bit more layering and maybe some text as well!

Butterfly Altered Book

This is an altered book page from a book I'm working in for Altered Book Lover's online class. The theme of my book is "fly" and this page is titled "Born to Fly."

With the key niche, I thought this worked well for the Three Muses Lock & Key challenge. Hope you enjoy!

Father's Day Notebook

Father's Day will be here before you know it! Cool stuff for guys can be so hard to find.

These notebooks are designed to be hung on a garage pegboard and used for any sort of lists or notes, such as

• measurements for a project
• remembering paint colors & brands used in the house
• reminders for home maintenance
• honey-do lists :)

Ombre Paper Doily

This is my second card for the Doily & Lace Challenge. My first card used a doily as a crown. On this card, I sprayed the doily in the trendy ombre style, with one side being dark and fading to a lighter shade at the edge.

The layout was a challenge on this card because I wanted to add more layers, but didn't want to cover up the doily! So I tried to keep it pretty simple.

Using a Doily as a Crown

For this card, I used a paper doily as a crown.

First I sprayed the doily purple and added some glitter glue. Then I put the card together with a stamped background and Teresa Collins World Traveler patterned paper and Jillibean Soup sticker onto which I stamped the "My Queen" sentiment.

Once the crown was dry, I added some rhinestones and adhered it to the card.

This is a fun one!

Simple Birthday Cards

This Clean and Simple birthday card was a snap to make! I stamped the sentiment in orange ink on an orange card base, then attached the sticker.

I made another card using the same technique with watermark ink on a kraft card base. I then used a scallop punch to punch a hole in the front of the card and put the sticker on this inside of the card.  Here is a picture of the card and a close-up of the sticker detail:

Tuesday Trigger: Vintage Vogue

The MoxieFab Tuesday Trigger is "Vintage Vogue" with this pretty picture:



The first thing that jumped out at me in this photo was the lovely vintage lace and the second thing that jumped out was the taupe fabric with shiny accents.

I happen to have a bit of vintage lace that I got at a resale store, and I absolutely love it! It has that vintage-y off white color to it. I combined it with taupe/light brown tones and just a hint of sparkle on this card.

The patterned papers and rhinestones are from the Teresa Collins World Traveler Collection.

Don't you just love that lace??
