Anniversary

          This is an anniversary card with a color themed challenge by City Crafter.
I started with the black card stock and hand cut the three windows.  I then cut the soft blue/green cards stock with the single window a little larger than the three black ones.
I stamped the flowers onto white card stock as well as the brushed the edges of the flag with Tumbled Glass.
All of this is anchored onto black card stock for an additional frame.

 This card is for a mostly red - all the love - very valentiny challenges.
The red card stock was run with a music embossing folder from Sizzix.  The Love You was cut using my cricut and the Lyrical Letters Cartridge with black card stock.

One Love

    I cut so many different shaped hearts for this one and didn't use a single one.   The hearts just didn't what to play with my muse or vice versa.
So, I cut out of white CS a large rectangle stamp piece by Spellbinders - I blocked off with note paper the edges and then sponged three different reds in the center. Fired Brick, Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral.  I mounted that onto black CS.  The 'One Love' was cut using my Cricut and the Lyrical Letters cartridge.
All mounted on white CS.

GOLD gold GOLD

         This card took a couple of different turns before all was said and done.
         I started with printed paper by Mambi in that tiled gold.  I cut a circle with two sizes of circles.  I framed the cut circle with a smaller circle in black CS.  I backed that opening with printed acetate from Recollections in gold.  I added a foam backing and filled the circle with black and golds sequins and confetti.
          The sentiment is on gold velum that I stamped with a bargain bin stamp in black StazOn and clear embossing powder.
           The black dots are just popped with and everyday hole punch out of scrap black CS and then topped with glossy accents.   All of that mounted onto a black CS base.

XOXO

   This one started with some new blue and gold washi tape that I was just chomping at the bit to use.  I went with the color challenge with Just Us Girls and the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches to get 'er done.  Starting with the ballet pink card stock, I dropped that blue washi on a diagonal in those close rows.  I then faux stitched the edge by hand.  The sentiment frame was cut with a die from Art-C.  The XOXO stamp is a rubber goodie from the $1 box (gotta love those) which I used Chipped Sapphire with clear embossing powder for shine and depth.  I attached that with dimensional squares and faux stitched that as well.  The pretty ballet pink ribbon was added to fulfill the sketch.  All of this on gray card stock base.  Voila.

Be Jolly

                This was all started with Navy CS where I stamped the snowflakes with a very large stamp and then topped with white embossing powder.  I added both silver and white crystal stickles to accent the snow flakes.  I cut that down a bit and added that to a piece of white card stock where I stamped the sentiment with Chipped Sapphire and then topped with clear embossing powder for shine and a wee bit of lift.  That was added to a piece of light blue paper which was added onto a piece of white paper to complete the sketch challenge.  This was all adhered to a grey CS base.

Bright and Pretty Dragonflies

       It's that time of year again that we come to the Birthday of my favorite twins.  I always do two cards that are the same but different.  This year we have a set of dragon flies.
       Both are on white CS with a white CS base.  The first one I started with Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Peacock Feathers and Shaded Lilac.  I put the ink on the craft sheet and added water and dragged the paper through the colors.  I didn't really get the effect I wanted so I added more of the same colors with a sponge.  The second one I just went right for the sponging and used Wild Honey, Picked Raspberry and Fired Brick.
         The dragon fly is an old mounted rubber stamp that I've had forever.
         I cut the squares on the diagonal with a Fiskars free moving cutter.  I stamped the one sentiment with Wild Honey and added clear embossing powder over it.  The other I use Mermaid Lagoon.

I would like to add these cards to the following card challenges if I may please:
CASology:  Cuts
The Card Concept: Fresh and Bold using CAS
