More "Special" Cards

I hope everyone is having a great Sunday.  In Tennessee today it is 95*.  After church and lunch, I'm staying inside.  I know I say I like hot weather, but with the humidity here in TN, it is a little much....now if I lived out west, it wouldn't be so bad.

I hope you are enjoying the challenge that is running now.  So far there have been some great "special" entries.  You still have a week to enter if you haven't already.  Just a reminder - I always notify the winner that she / he has won.  That way you don't to constantly go back and forth to my blog to see if you have won.  Also, the winner's entry is put in the top corner on my sidebar.   Unless stated otherwise  in a post, the winner is chosen by random generator.

Petra and I have a couple more "special" cards to inspire you.

Vicki

Here is an encouragement or friendship  card.  I am using another flower from Our Daily Bread Designs' flower sheets.  These are really great to embellish your card or on a mixed media project.  The backgroud shape is made with a Spellbinder and the background cardstock of my greeting itself is made with embossed webbing, a Technique Junkie technique.  The greeting is a digital from Sweet and Sassy.

Encouragement

Now and again every single one of us needs a little bit of encouragement, wishing us good luck when facing a new situation, attempting something new. The card was created in this spirit, a card which combines something old and a lot of new. For the old I 're-cycled' the inside of old envelopes and created the square inset, the new bit is everything else (lol): a square white card - a square frame cut with nestabilities from white card - birdcage and birds are from Prickley Pear stamps, the sentiment from Waltzing Mouse - the birds are coloured with VersaColor ink - birds, birdcage and sentiment are embossed.

Girl with Roses

Here is a card I made while straightening my desk today.  (This is why my desk never really gets straight).  The main image is from DigiDarla.  She is having her first challenge with a giveaway.  Everyone who joins in her challenge gets a free digital.

The background has an embossed webbing technique and the beautiful gold cardstock behind the image is from Paper Temptress.  As an added touch I use some 3D flowers which I had and a couple of brass button.  The image is colored with Copics.

I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Memorial Holiday.  Now back to clean my desk!

Two in One

This is the second post for today.  My first post was the precious card created by Petra.  This time I am posting two of my cards 

This little girl image is by Magnolia.  She is colored with  Copics.  As an added touch I made a lace ruffle for the card highlighted with a silk flower which I took apart and put back together with a stone brad.

 Recently I made a number of papers using the Embossed Webbing technique.  I will be using these as background papers in the near future.  Some of them had thick webbing while others had fine webbing.  This card uses one of the papers using thick webbing in the Embossed Webbing . 

The image is by Mo's Digital Pencil.  It has been put on a dark blue shadow.  The flower is a single silk flower and the verse is from Quote Garden.  The greeting says "The Rose Bowl is the only bowl I have seen that I didn't have to clean." by Erma Bombeck.
