Flowers!! Beautiful flowers come to my mind when springtime arrives. It is a time when perennial plants emerge from the ground, grow, and bloom into beautiful flowers. Thinking of this, my first card for the Dirty Dozen’s March monthly theme was to include flowers. The card features the Aletnew Beautiful Day Stamp Set, and I could not release it until I finished my time as a Dirty Girl!
The blending colored pencil shavings technique is one that I have not tried before creating this beach scene card. I created the card for the Dirty Dozen Fan Club April Monthly Theme of “Perfect Blend”. It is a birthday card for my special grandson.
Romans 12:3
“For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.”
Know what I love? This sentiment on my card with a question mark fit nicely into the Dirty Dozen May Theme, “Mother May I?” What I love, among many other things, is my Hibiscus plants that have started blooming so beautifully. To that end, my card features Hibiscus flowers that I made using the Altenew Build A Flower – Hibiscus stamp set.
I had great fun creating this Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) Surprise Box. It took hours for me to complete, but it was so worth it as it is for my precious granddaughter. The box is not for her birthday, as it may indicate. It is a reminder to celebrate life. Our lives can change in a split second and make you realize how important it is to celebrate life and your loved ones.
This week’s Splitcoaststamper’s Tuesday Color Challenge is hosted by Jeanne. She selected the color combination of SU Flirty Flamingo, Bermuda Bay, and So Saffron, with a dessert option of balloons. These colors are a beautiful combination!
Welcome, and thanks for stopping by to view my Vera Bradley Inspiration Art Butterfly Card! Each Saturday on Splitcoaststampers.com, there is an inspiration challenge where a hostess selects a website from which challenge participants can draw inspiration for a card. Last Saturday the hostess selected a fantastic and fashionable website (i.e., Vera Bradley) for her Inspiration Challenge. When I visited the site, I immediately saw a butterfly pattern that would be my inspiration piece. This travel bag was the inspiration for my Vera Bradley Inspiration Art Butterfly Card.
My friends, I have completed my time as a Dirty Girl on Splitcoaststampers and can release cards I have made in the last six months. This is one of those cards. I made this card for my younger daughter for Mother’s Day. The card features the Avery Elle Spring Bouquet Stamp Set. In my neck of the woods, May and June are the months that we see our beautiful Lilie flowers bloom. This is my younger daughter’s favorite flower. Thus, I created this card for her from her three-year-old daughter (i.e., my precious granddaughter) for Mother’s Day.
