A clean and simple birthday card for today, with no flowers! Well, unless you count the tiny one on her head:)
I embossed this cute little elephant with a small Cuttlebug folder. I added tiny gems for her eyes and for the flower center. The sentiment is a little one I got from someone once upon a time and I can't tell you who it's from. I stamped it with Real Red ink and added a tiny black gem for the dot on the "i". I matted with Real Red cardstock and mounted on Dimensionals. The embossing was done on ivory and the card base is Papertrey Ink kraft.

This week's Flutter By Wednesday challenge is to use buttons on your creation - plus your butterfly or fairy, of course! The design team has some very wonderful offerings for you - check them out on the blog. Then create your own masterpiece, upload it to your blog or on-line gallery, and link it up to the Flutter By Wednesday blog.
I've had these petals laying around for quite a while, left over from this card. They worked perfectly for today's challenge! I drew the stems and leaves and glued on the petals. Then I added the buttons for the centers. The butterflies are punched with a Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. I arched it before stamping and then embossed with white. We'd love to have you join the fun challenge this week!

It's no secret that I love using flowers on my cards. :) So, here's another one.
The flower image is a digital image from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps. It's called Happy Flowers. I colored it with Copic markers, matted with Old Olive cardstock and mounted on foam squares. The patterned paper is from a Recollections pad. The sentiment is from Papertrey's Birthday Basics set.

My Christmas card for the week. I'm entering it in the Christmas Card Challenge blog. I'll update this with the theme for the week soon. The main challenge, though, is to make a Christmas card.
The three stamps that I used for this card are from a Stampin' Up! set called Bells and Boughs. I stamped them with Versamark and embossed them with gold embossing powder. I colored them with markers. The embossing on the lower left was done with a Cuttlebug folder. I matted with a piece of shimmery gold.

Here are the two cards I made for our mothers this year. They are basically the same, but different colors and a couple other little changes. The flowers stamp is from Serene Silhouettes from Stampin' Up! I inked it first with Gumball Green and used markers for the flowers and "thumped" some darker green on the grass, stems and leaves. I used an EK Success punch for the border. I added "bling" to the flowers in the sentiment, which is from Verve. The image panel on the first one is mounted on Dimensionals.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!
