Challenge #31 Let's Have Tea

Today's card comes from the inspiration photo over at the ribbon reel challenge blogspot . I really think the Tea theme is so cute.  I went to my local craft store and they had some nice coordinating tea time paper.  I began on a piece of Kraft cardstock.  I then layered on some pretty patterned paper from Bo Bunny.  I layered a tea cup onto a piece of cream cardstock.  I finished this pretty card off with some stitching, cream lace, seam binding and prima flower.

Challenge #30 Strawberries & Cream

Today's card was inspired by the inspiration photo over at the ribbon reel challenge blogspot.   I began my creation an a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock. The first layer is a piece of Bo Bunny patterned paper, the third layer is a strip of the other side which I have stitched on.  I die cut a piece of Very Vanilla and stamped my sentiment using Lady Bug due drop ink.  The butterfly punch comes from upcycled cardboard which I have inked using Whisper White.  I handmade the Pink satin flower and gave it some light brown leaves.  Finishing it off with a Clear rhinestone, Pink button, lace and twine.

Family Loss

I am sad to say that my all time favorite Auntie has left this world.  She passed away sometime between 2:00pm and 11:00pm Monday June 19th.   After They Are Gone When someone we love passes away, We ache, but we go on; Our dear departed would want us to heal, After they are gone. Grief is a normal way to mend The anguish and pain in our hearts; We need time to remember and time to mourn, Before the recovery starts. Let's draw together to recuperate, As we go through this period of sorrow; Let's help each other, with tender care To find a brighter tomorrow. By Joanna Fuchs     God rest your sole Auntie Dorothy.

Mojo monday 246

Today's card was inspired by the sketch over at the mojo monday blogspot . I began on a piece of White cardstock.  I used some Cottage Wall designer series paper, cut it at 2 1/2', then adhered that to some White cardstock and stitched them together.   I stamped my image onto some Orchid Opulence cardstock using Rich Razzleberry ink, them cut them out, adhering to card with dimensionals.  For the finishing touches I used some Vanilla lace, Cream rustic twine, stick pins, and Clear rhinestones.
