Earring holder card

One of my colleague likes some of my earrings so when I saw one which I like, I thought to buy it for her. But I thought to give them not as it is but in a card or some kind of holder. So I made a simple card with the silhouette flowers image and then with velcro I stick the earrings on the card. I distressed the edges and finished the card with flowers from My Favorite Things die.

Silhouette Birthday lady

So finally I am back to San Jose. I have been back from Monday but then after I was little busy in office. So finally on Friday I could finish off my work and got some time to make a quick post about a card I made sometime back. I like silhouette images and of course love these elegant lady in silhouette. I wanted it use only my new back and white papers but then thought it would be little more so added on red cardstock as a base.

Just for you Birthday

As I have mentioned in my previous blog, I am part of the "Shannon's Sentiments" DT team now. And now it's finally time for the "Shannon's Sentiments" May release!!!  This month we are releasing 4 large individual images along with 4 Add-On sets, and 2 full sets.

Today we are also having a weekly challenge, we would like to see you use three flowers and no patterned paper. Cardstock only please:)

Here come the card I have made with “Flowers with vase” image from “Lots of Thanks” release set. I have also added “Just for you” sentiment from “Friendship” release set. I used the blue card stock(you know it is a recycled office folder!!!) with the craft card stock embossed with Birthday folder. I also used some flowers with the stem. For the stem I used the die which I just got from my favorite scrapbook store in Bay Area.

Happy Birthday wih bird silhouette

These days I have found my new love towards silhouette images. I think it's because of it's simplicity and just in one color describing everything about the image. When I use those images, I can play with rest of card with lots of other techniques but still at the end image is the main focus. And image's simplicity makes it elegant too. What do you think?

Did you notice my twine on buttons? Do you know from where I got that? I will tell you one thing. It's totally recycle!! I bought a bag of rice from Costco a while back. And guess what, it was a jute bag so I simply removed one thread from that bag and BOOM! I have a twine which I want in no money!! ;-)
