First up, flowers! They were hand painted with my aqua-painter on sahara sand card stock, embellished further with Stampin’ Write Markers, and then two layers of clear embossing powder applied. Once embossed, the colors really muted… like a magical surprise! I love the texture added by the new Square Lattice Embossing Folder don’t you? Colors shown: Rich Razzleberry and Sahara Sand.
Here are the same flowers adorning a scrapbook page in Rich Razzleberry, Apricot Appeal, Whisper White, Barely Banana, and Bermuda Bay. I had a little help from the Wonderful You stamp set too!
A different twist… in Soft Suede, Sage Shadow, Ruby Red, and Kraft. The large heart punch adorned with the Flower Fancy Leaves which have also been hand painted and embossed. The embossed crown image is from the Extreme Elements Stamp Set.
Combining sets, and adding a sneak peek with elements of style too. This time I used glassy glaze embossing enamel over the focal image. The tiny flowers were cut out, embossed and then melted into the focal image. Isn’t the butterfly fun?
Couldn’t resist adding a little hodepodge hardware too… I’m going to miss mellow moss and barely banana card stock :)

Love the rock ‘n roll technique done on this hummingbird… who furiously flaps his wings over the old olive stamped vineyard.
And a little Signo gel pen embellished rose red vine… I think this card needs a denim element.. but that would be another layer, and not a simple and quick card!
Isn’t she adorable? They do need lots of diamonds… or pixie dust, don’t you think? Here’s another card I made with the A Little Bit of Magic Stamp Set…
And a close up… love that twinkling stamp which is used as a border around the main image!
The little flower on the greeting is mounted on a build a brad. It’s one of the new punches which is be available in the spring mini catalog! I made the leaf with the small circle punch that is part of the set… folded my paper in 1/2 and took a small bite just outside the crease to make a leaf. 
There is a little pocket on the inside too… holding of course, some chocolate!
Ink up a wedge of sponge with Not Quite Navy ink… (I pounce it off several times onto my grid paper to achieve a lighter shade.) Lightly scrub across the edge of the post it notes to form a diagonal ray of light navy ink.
Repeat the process for the other diagonal, down the middle of the card (height and length), and then split the sections… Your card will now have 7 intersecting diagonals.
Seniors meeting throughout North Florida will make these cards during their next session of seniors’ stampin. Hope they like them, and you do too!
