Now onto my projects...

I created my 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 Bee Yourself card using K&Co's new Tim Coffey collection called Cottage Garden. I colored up the little baby bee using my Copic markers, cut it out using my Nesties. I distressed the inside of the image with Ranger Vintage Photo distress ink before removing the nestie die -- LOVE this technique! Then I layered it on top of another Nestie using Hot Fudge cardstock. I used the Scalloped Scallop and Open Scallop border Die-namics to line the left edge of the card along with some brown Prima lace. Lots of layering going on -- I LOVE me some layers! LOL! The accents on the card (flowers, sunflower, bee die-cuts) are from the Cottage Garden collection.

Inside the card, do you spy MFT's Simply Scallops, Flower Border and Rounded Banner Trio Die-namics? You betcha!! Super fun! :-)

For my next project, I decided to make a simple card that I could use for one of my Aunties, who I greatly miss (she lives 3000 miles away in the Philippines!) On the front of the card, I used one of the flowers from the Inspired by Flowers stamp set, along with the sentiment. I cut out a Dainty Lace doily with the BG Curio papers, which is the DP I used throughout the card. I lined the bottom of the card with some pretty brown Prima lace as a final touch. I kept the inside of the card super simple. I just trimmed one side with DP using the Jumbo Scallops die. Before I adhered it down, I stamped one of the flower images from the stamp set so it's "peeking" from behind the panel. I decided to keep it black and white so it's muted -- which will make a written message inside the card stand out.
