Sealed

 Using my sealed dies and stamps for another sympathy card I needed.  After stamping the seal I added some Nuvo crystal glaze to give it that seal look. I cut all the flowers and faux string from scraps and inked them.

Northwoods

 Today I am sharing in the Neglected stuff Challenge for my next masculine birthday card. I just don't use my rubber stamps on blocks as much anymore.  I took the stamp off the wood block so I could use it in the Misti stamping platform. I colored it with markers and fussy cut it out. I added some die cut leaves to it and a stamped sentiment I don't think I have used before.

Get well

 I turned to one of my stamp sets that came with a British card making magazine for this get well card I needed.  I had to stamp the trellis twice to have it go the length of the card it is actually just a square stamp. The bee, trellis and sentiment all stamped directly on card base. I colored the flowers and then fussy cut them and popped them up on top of the trellis.  The sentiment also came in this stamp set.

Preteen birthday

 I recently used this die for my hubby's coworker who loves gaming but this time it went to a preteen boy who also loves games on the computer and video hand held games.  I actually used the sentiment die that comes with it also. I used another piece of the wood veneer cardstock I bought from Amazon to look like it is sitting on a wood table. I colored in the controls with metallic markers.

Yellow Flowers

 I just had to do bright colors now that it is spring for the next birthday card I needed. Using an old stamp that I colored with markers. I did a little bit of inking around the die inside before taking the image out of the die. The background is 3 strips from the paper pack, and topped it off with the pearls, another hand delivered card so I could use my bigger pearls I have.
