CAS Winter Flora Challenge

Used a stamp positioner to align the individual letters.  Foliage was covered with gloss medium.

This card was all about imperfection and what to do with it.  I didn't realize when I stamped the berries how dry the ink pad had gotten so the letters ended up "distressed" and THEN I didn't catch a bit of ink on the edge of the upper left bordering rubber of the H  and had to draw in 3 holly berries there to cover; to balance the extra berries it was necessary to draw in another on the stem above and to the left where there were 2. But in the end I'm happy with it LOL

Quick and Easy cards

YIKES! I went out today to pick up a special Christmas present for someone - won't be doing that again!! I make it a habit never to go out shopping on "Black Friday" and now I vividly remember why. LOL

okay, I have some quick and easy cards for you today. When I get some spare time LOL I like to make some cards for an oh-so-awesome gallery of handmade things in Ohio. They are so good to me and let me give them cards to sell as I am able via my Mom :o)

With these I had very loose occasions or just because in mind, and things I could duplicate again if they are hits. I get very bored making duplicates - by the time I get to 5 I realize I don't like my design as much as I had thought LOL ;o)

These are all regular size - 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" - and the base card is a nice heavy bright white 110# cardstock from the Neenah brand. I've been at a stand-still making cards because I didn't feel the 80# I was using produced satisfactory feel in the hand when I added embellishments. And I really like cards that stand up on their own for display, etc.
