I started with cardstock that I embossed with an embossing folder and the big shot. The image is from Mo's digital pencil colored with inktense pencils. Cut the circle out with spellbinders die and the bigshot and sewed around the circle. The cardstock is stock and the tag is basic grey from the eerie paper pad. The daisy ribbon is from walmart.

DT call at Allsorts........



I have entered DT call at Allsorts Challenge Blog with this card.
I first made this card with Sizzix ornate tri fold card die and my big shot. I used all bazzill cardstock for this project. I stamped the rose on watercolor paper and colored it with watercolor pencils. The gold trim paper is a piece that I cut from Once upon a time DCWV mat stack. I also used distress black soot ink on all the paper edges. If you would like more information on Allsorts DT call click on the icon in the right side bar.

pins & pearls



I made this card from graphic 45 paper and bazzill cardstock. The tan paper is basic grey kraft paper that I embossed with a embossing folder and my big shot, added distress ink black soot to the embossing . I also used the old paper distressed ink on all paper edges. The image was computer generated on water color paper cut out and colored with watercolor pencils. The flowers were cut out with my ecraft machine and layered together. The leaves are cut  from spellbinders assorted leaves dies. I also added the pin with the butterfly and a couple of beads. I enjoyed making this card.
