Birthday and/ or Colors at House of Cards

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

It's the 1st of the month and that means it's time for a new challenge at House of Cards.  This month we're asking you to create a project for a birthday, and or the colors from the inspiration photo...

And here's my cards...

I've kept the personal theme going and again used Avery and Owen images from the Paper Nest Dolls, but changed up the dies while sticking to the color palette.  Do you think they are bringing me belated gifts for my birthday last week?  Grin

Card: Unbranded White, and SU's Dapper Denim, Bermuda Bay, Sweet Sugarplum and Blushing Bride
Markers: Spectrum Noir
Images: Paper Nest Dolls Birthday Owen and Cupcake Avery
Tools and embellishments: Sue Wilson for CE Pacific Ocean Background, rhinestones from my stash, and Nuvo Sparkle Shimmer pen

I'll be back soon with another creation, so I hope you'll join me then.

Triple Pacific Frame

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

I'm sure by now you'll know how much I love the Pacific Ocean Background by Sue Wilson?  Today's card shows how one element can be used to create a totally different look...

To get the placement of the center frame, I glued another in place, then raised the second over it using foam pads.

Card: SU's whisper and shimmery white
Tools and embellishments: Pacific Ocean Background and Borders and Corners, and pearls from Creative Expressions

Pacific Ocean Background

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

The card I'm sharing today was the first I created while playing with a NBUS die set, the Pacific Ocean Background by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions.

I love the intricacy of the frames and how stunning they look simply layered together.
