These 3 cards were made for family birthdays recently & I forgot I had taken pictures of them!!
The first one is made with MFT's Punny Farm. The paper is from Flair Designs called Horse Words. The card base is chocolate chip and the next layer is Ruby Red (both SU). I sponged all the edges of everything with Chocolate Chip ink, watercoloured the horse and added a brown silk ribbon and a buckle from Hodgepodge Hardware (SU). I made this for my SIL's 50th birthday!
The princess card was made for my 3 year old niece who of course, is into "princesses". I was lucky I had some images from an image swap that I could use cuz I don't have any princess stamps except a few small ones from Target that my good friend Tracy sent me!!! The DP is from Michael's - not sure of the company name but it has glittery flowers all over it - very pretty!!! I glittered up the crown, wand and her dress and added purple rhinestone brads to the sentiment ovals.
The last card I made for a friends birthday. I used Papertrey Ink's set called Text Boxed. I used Night of Navy and So Saffron paper. The inside of the flower is stamped and watercoloured into the leaves. I stamped the sentiment with white colorbox ink. The white ribbon is from Michaels too.

Oh Chris, I lvoe all of them, but I especailly love the black and yellow one!! What a great color combo and it is perfect for that stamp! I have that set but it is probably my least used set. I can never think of what to do with it. Might have to case your card!! I also love how you used the individual pieces to make the subtle design on the yellow strip!!

Off to work this morning but gonna blog browse tonight. Can't wait to see all your creations that you've made over the past week or two!!

Super cute cards! My fave it the horse simply because my DD loves them and that stamp has been stamped out many a time for her to color, lol. All of them are adorable, I bet your family loved them!
