With Sympathy

Today I'm sharing one of the cards I designed for the Divine Designs by Nancy Floral Shop in NC.  This has been my go-to quote in recent weeks since losing my mom to Cancer, so I thought it might be comforting to someone else too :)  The warm colors having me thinking about summer and beach trips spent with both my parents...I am so over this long winter!

The quote is printed on vellum, which can be tricky to work with since most adhesives will show up.  I used my ATG and hid the adhesive with the folded over paper on the upper right and with embellishments on the lower left.

You know I love adding dimension to my projects, this time I used a paper rose and chunky buttons, the wood heart with polka dots is my fave :)

What are your favorite card-making embellishments?

Happy Birthday ~ Robot Style

 I have young kids, which means they get invited to birthday parties...OFTEN!  I know it would be so much easier to run to the Dollar Store and pick up a stack of cards to have on hand but how much fun would that be???  I am always happy when I have a theme to work with...for the latest party, it was robots.

To be honest, I really didn't love how this card turned out, but my sweet daughter thought it was perfect for her friend ;)  I found the robot FREE robot printable sheet from Dabbles and Babbles here...as you can see, I am still working on my copic coloring skills lol! I added some glitter cardstock in orange, and it's hard to see but the purple hands on the girl robot and the pink heart are glittered up too :)
