♥ ♥ ♥ Get well Soon ! ♥ ♥ ♥

I made this "Get Well Card" open stock paper from a old project. I used a lovely Floral lavender print. by Martha Stewart.
I then used my Quick Borders punch " Ribbon Stitch cartridge.
I made a fence along the bottom of the card and then put Martha Stewart Piped Nylon Ribbon( Purple) through it. I added a matching bow to the center of the fence and put a Green striped brad on it by " Making memories" I then put a metal tag with a purple flower & I Wrote in Purple "Get Well Soon"
to finish it off I added a pebble clip butterfly also by "Making Memories"

I added my Embellishments a Top hat I had drew on gray paper and touched with a little black, Then added a green flower and a ribbed ribbon Bow with polka dots, a Green Button at the top with hemp cord ribbon.
at the bottom I added 2 green rhinestones I added the letters last but not least I then out lined the whole clover with stickles stardust.

" Happy St Patrick's Day"

an Irish Blessing that reads

May you always have..
A sunbeam to warm you,
Good luck to charm you,
And a sheltering angel
So nothing can harm you...
Laughter
to cheer you ,
Faith friends
near you,
And whenever
you pray.
heaven to hear you.

I hope you all enjoy this special card it is done in memory of a very dear Friend that we just lost this past Dec. "God Bless you Doris RIP".

♥ ♥ ♥ A Whimsical Valentine ♥ ♥ ♥

I decided to make a different type of valentine rather then the traditional red and white I chose to make a Whimsical style card.
I took stripped paper by DCWV and embossed the front of this card. I then hand cut some hearts, I used some thin string laying on the left side of the card then added the hearts and Embellishments I made.
added glittered letter " LOVE " by Whimsy.
On the right side top I added a light green sheer bow to finish my card.

Thanks for stopping by.
