A Pretty in Pink day...

 Pink... one of my all time favorite colors to make cards with... it is so very feminine and mixed with green.. wow.. really is an off the wall color combination for me... I love it...

Pink flowers are really so very delicate too.. and I hope that I got that across with this card...

The flowers were made with white paper and I painted the paper using my H20's... what else??? 

Then I molded each petal to create the flowers... the same with the little ones..  just fewer layers but made the same way... 

 A good friend of mine, Marie Berquist or better known as Craft E Marie...  (her blog connection is down on the left hand side ... please go and visit her... )  any way, when she was over the other day making flowers and playing... she let me use one of her newest Sparkle and Sprinkle Stamps... as she is a Guest Designer for that company... 

This is one of those stamps that you can use for so many things... wish I had stamped a few... next time Marie... I will have my brain in gear...

I also didn't use this really cute little bird that with this set... wish I had... oh well.. I still love the card... 

As you can see I have cut it out and layered it onto a Spellbinder... love them too.. as you know..  I think we all do...

They mix and match with so many things...

I often wonder if I will ever get my moneys worth from all the Spellbinders sets I have... but then I think how many times I do use them.. .and the way that they help to create a nice card... 

 Another card with many colors... pink flowers and I had to add these peach ones too.. they just looked so pretty with the blues... and then I also added a few white ones...  the swirls are made from very narrow cut paper and then twirled around a pencil... and wound tightly so that they are like tendrils of a vine...

I used all different kinds of paper to create these flowers... and each came out a little bit different...

The Just Rite Stamps and the Spellbinders that match to cut them out are just PERFECT ... I love the white border around them... so very nice and clean looking... 

I ran the darker blue background Spellbinder thru a Cuttlebug embossing folder as well as the white background... gives it a nice finish ... 

So.. .do you like making flowers??? I do hope so.. .they are so much fun to make and really add a nice sparkle to your cards and creations... I am also working on an altered box with some flowers on the top of it... I will share with you when I get it finished... 

Thanks for stopping by for a visit... hope to see you again soon... 
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie  

After the Wedding

Well after any wedding there is always the Honeymoon... right... well this week is also Our anniversary... 42 years as of June 26th... wow... and we still LOVE each other...

So here are some cards that were made during the week of wedding on the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog Wedding Affaire week... As you know I put up all kinds of cards to support that project... If you have not entered your wedding card... please go to Wednesday and look for the My Linky and send yours up... there are prizes galore for last week.. I hope you win some..

Here is a card that I made.. .and the center medallion is a casing of Amazing Paper Graces card a few weeks or month ago... time??? can't quite figure it out yet... anyway... I just loved this and created it a little bit differently... but similar...



This card I made for Tea Pot Tuesday... where we were in NYC... and that did bring up some feelings for me.. .that is sure.. at one time, I was a young woman... working in the garment district... designing fashions, fabrics... living the high life and enjoying every minute of it.. .but am sure glad that I live on the FARM now... yikes... the city pace is way too much for me.. but at the time ... love that too..












The Sea... We have a FAT BOOK coming up with the theme of Sea, Sand and Shells...So I have been creating all kinds of pages... trying to figure out which one to create... this one went into a card... so it is not this one.. you will have to check back in July some time in ART BETWEEN THE PAGES to see what I did.. Entirely different..

But a little bit the same...
Thanks Wanda Cullen for the directions on the knot.. .I loved it when you did it on that special card... and got the directions... and will use it on my fat book pages... thanks again..





Okay... now during that WEDDING AFFAIRE time, I had quite a few friends over to play... one day Brenda and I were fooling around with inks.. and we created some fun cards...

Here is the one that we did with the horse.. so much fun.. I did change it around a little bit from the ones we saw on line... but we had so much fun doing these .. I also turned this one into a Father's day card for my Sweetie... the fence is on the side, so that the horse can run free...Our Pinkie ( a Belgium) died a few years ago.. and Glenn still misses him greatly..

Another card we created ... done our way.. adn then cut and of course I had to add one of the newest folders... SEEING SPOTS by Cuttlebug... love that... the four corners are also cuttlebug die cuts... love this ... I also used Speelbinders for the focal point to be highlighted... Love the colors of this one..








On Splitcoast Stampers, one of the challenges that I did during this time, was to make a one piece... I dont think I had ever truly made a one piece card... it was not as easy as it looked to me.. I love layers.. DUH... and so this was a true challenge for me..









One of my favorite designs from this one line sight was this one... again we did change quite a few things... but very similar... Mine if the one on the left... and Brenda did her's in the other direction... I love both of them.. we really did have fun with making these...

Since that time, I have show two other groups of gals how to create these cards too.. everyone has fallen in love with making them... so I guess we will all have very inky fingers in my circle of friends... LOL.. that is fine.. it is better than a soriety pin... you don't have to remember to wear these... they are always with you.. I do hope that you have enjoyed these... I do have some more things to share with you... I am posting the Native American Book in the Art Between the Pages blog... So take a look to see all the gals work... some really nice pages..

Thanks for visiting my blog today... hope you enjoyed all the cards ... and please come back again.. even though it is acting up... I hope I can publish this... I dont' have any control right now with where anything is going on this blog... ugh...
Have a fun evening... Love, Light and Peace..Bonnie
