Catching up

Isn't she the cutest pup! She hasn't been feeling well lately. I brought her to the vet yesterday for $93 ~ thank you very much. She was given a shot and some pills and if she's not better tomorrow, to give them a call for possible blood tests and x-rays. uggg

This is one of the stamps that I bought myself at CHA.
It screamed for watercoloring and gold embossing.

I cased this card from one of the SU convention boards that was posted online.

A tri-fold card using a doily cut out using my QuicKutz Silhouette.
It cuts such fine details. Then I just had to add the little pearls.

Another bi-fold using all Stampin' Up products.

Thanks for stopping by.

Catitude Pheasant

Happy Weekend, and thanks for stopping by.
My back pain, from my surgery two weeks ago, is easing up a bit and I was able to make a couple of cards this weekend.
The first one is for my good friend Betty who is going through chemo, I've made it out to her cats from my cat. I think she will get a nice chuckle out of it.


I love how rich the addition of the gold pen makes the card.


My second card uses the Pheasant from one of the new stamp sets from Stampin' Up! called Autumn Days. I've added quite a few elements to this card starting with the paper lace. I made the lace using my new Silhouette from Quikutz. Isn't it beautiful! I added half back pearls to it for even more dimension. The green leaf fronds are made using a Martha punch. The pheasant and yellow card stock were cut out using the same nestie that I used for the cat in the above post.


Close up of the lace and pearls. It's so pretty!!


I used my gold pen again, then added a cluster of primas, half pearls and more fronds.


That's it for today.
Thanks for stopping by,
Michelle

Can you beat that picture :-) This is has always been one of my favorite pictures of Ciara and Liyah. Then I came across this quote and the 2 just needed to be scrapped together. Lucky for me, I just got a Quickutz Silhouette! I was able to write out the quote in Photoshop then copy and paste it into the Silhouette software which in turn cuts out the letters for me. Lesson learned is to use a font that does not have such skinny lines.


The flower was made from part of the batch that I had bought from Overstock. I think they went quite well with the ribbon paper from American Crafts. I also added some dew drops, lace and velvet ribbon.

The word kiss was cut out twice, layered, glued onto the page then I put a coat of crystal effects for more dimension.
oh ~ and ps, this is mostly digital...can you tell?
