Silk Happiness

This is another card I created using the faux silk technique and the Happiness Always set. I really enjoy making my own prints and patterns that coordinate beautifully with my paper! Not much to say about it really other than that I love how it turned out! I am so ready for the crisp, cool (not cold) days of fall. Tomorrow we are going up north a little ways to see the changing trees with my sister, her hubby and my mom. I don't know if the guys (dad and brothers) are going or not. It should be lots of fun and I'm really looking forward to it!!

As always, I hope you have a beautiful day!! Be sure to come back and I have several cards in my "edited" folder to share!

WCMD - No P's Please

I love, loVE, LOVE this card!! I am so happy with how it turned out. This was the second challenge from WCMD that I was able to complete. In the last few weeks, as I've been browsing the gallery at SCS, cher2008 has just been making me oooh and aaah over her cards. So as I was looking for some ribbon to add to my card, I saw this yellow striped that was really wide and thought of her cards. I wanted to attempt the same look and this is what I got. I am so happy with it!! Seriously, I just want to look at and I don't know if I'll ever be able to part with it! Does this ever happen to you???

Anyway, the challenge was no patterned paper and no pastels. That suits me fine - I have tons of patterned paper, but I never want to use it. I love using stamps to make my own patterned paper. Silly, huh! This purple CS was on the top of the stack - Orchid Opulence - crazy color!!! Luckily this stamp set seems to work with whatever colors you use it with. Bright yellow paired with it and some black accents to tame it all down! What do you think - is this card a winner? Keep checking in as I have some other cards I haven't had a chance to share with you yet! I so appreciate it when you "swoop by" too!!
