Thanks, Annie!

A stamping friend from Canada in our stamping group sent us some stamp-offs. Thanks, Annie! I made these two cards with them. The birdhouses on both are popped up on Pop Dots. The images were embossed with glittery gold embossing powder. I believe Annie said the image was from Great Impressions. I colored them with Copics. I matted each of them with shimmery gold paper. For this first card, I mounted the entire image panel with Pop Dots, also. The sentiment is from Stampabilities.

The sentiment on this one is from Papertrey Ink. I embossed it with gold embossing powder. The patterned paper is ancient and is from Stampin' Up!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

More Birthday Flowers

I "stole" about ten minutes today to do a little stamping. This card is for a friend of mine whose birthday is New Year's Eve. It could not be simpler, but it felt really good to make something. :)

The three flowers are all one stamp - by Great Impressions. I colored the images with Stampin' Up! markers - all from the Rich Regals family. (The shadows are colored with a different brand of marker, but I don't have it with me right now, and of course I'm in a hurry - sorry!) I used my trusty Scor-Pal, of course. I matted the image with Marvelous Magenta. The card base is one that I printed on the computer a while back. I also added a little bit of Diamond Glaze to the flowers.

For those of you out there who are "pray-ers" I would appreciate any prayers for my dad. He had a tumor removed from his neck yesterday. Hopefully it had not spread to his lymph nodes, but he needs to have another surgery in a couple weeks (IF he can get in!) to remove the lymph nodes from his neck to have them checked out. If they have no cancer, he is fine. And I'm sure that is the case! But, if they find cancer in them, he will need to have some treatments. Please add him to your prayers that he is cancer-free. Thank you so much!!

Thanks so much for looking, and I hope you come back and visit again soon!
