CARD for Lola

Today's card is a super CAS one.  My dad asked me to make a card for my aunty Lola's birthday.  Every year she and all her sisters take a trip to Las Vegas for her birthday.  My parents have been going every year to celebrate since my uncle passed away.  Each year I give her a colored image card, but this year I wanted to do something a little more grown up, but still sweet.  Here's what I came up with...

Birthday card for Aunty Lola

I used up more of that chevron and yellow wood grain papers.  I wish I had picked up a couple more sheets of it, I really like both.  I also used some of that pretty floral paper to create the layered flower pictured here using some Noor Designs 8-petal dies.  I alternated between the floral print and the yellow cardstock using all the dies that are in the set.  The leaves are cut with a Paper Smooches die (Poinsettia) and stamped with a Inkadinkado background stamp.  For the ticket, I stamped a Happy Birthday stamp sentiment from AmyR, masked it and stamped a wood grain background over it.  Added a button, a doily, some twine and rounded the corners on two sides and I was done.  Oh and I also distressed all the paper edges with Vintage Photo Distress inks.

Mahalo for stopping by today.  Glad it was a short post... Have a great day!

Anya Blooms

Hello!

Today I want to share a card I made using some of my new TGF goodies.  I was trying to get this in to the last Garden Variety Tuesday challenge, but just missed it.  Still thought it would be fun to share the card I made.  The challenge was a color theme and it called for nice and bright fun colors.  I used more paper from the MME Reunion paper pad and found a piece of daisy embossed cardstock to use as well.

I used Anya Blooms and the TGF fence.  These are my lastest purchases and I was happy to finally get to use them.  This has a little bit of a country flair to me, must be the boots and the cute dress, now all she needs it a cute cowgirl hat!  lol.  I paper pieced the dress and colored the rest with Copics.  The fence is kraft with white ink to make it look distressed.  I also used Spellbinder circles and a lacey circle; Noor Designs floral flourishes 8-petal flowers; SU circle punch, rounded corner punch and the C.C. Design Cutters grass border.  The sentiment is a wood veener speech bubble from Recollections.  Last I used Viva Deco white ice pen for the center of the daisies.

Have a great day everyone and thank you for stopping by!!
