It's Your Day Stylish Tilda Card...

A wonderful day to everyone...Right now, I would like to share with you the card that I custom-made for a friend.  She adores my cards and so, when she needed one, she would come to me and describe to me who the card is for so that I can freely design something that comes close to the personality/likes/occupation of that someone special to her.  This card is for her hair-stylist friend whose going to have a birthday so, as you can see, there's a comb and scissor image incorporated in the card.  I got those two images from a coloring project for kids and as far as I know, it was not restricted.  I printed the image small enough to blend in with the main Magnolia Tilda image in the card.  I colored them using Gamsol Technique,  The die-cut sentiment is from Cricut Stamping Cartridge, the mirror with a stand image are two stamped images I combined to make one design...The stand from Heidi Grace and the frame from Autumn Leaves.  I inked it with distress ink to have that vintage look.  I also added Prima flowers with brads in the center and die-cut leaves from MS Punch.  And finally, some fancy and straight stitching to enhance the beauty of this card.  I've had this Tilda image for a while but haven't used it until now...I think she is perfect for this project.  I am entering this card into this challenge:

1.  Just Magnolia Challenge featuring "Anyting Goes with option of faux or real Stitching"

My friend haven't seen this card yet but I know she will surely love it.  She loved all the ones I did before...LOL  Althought many hours were consumed putting this together, I am very happy with the final result.  This is one card I am really proud off...Hopefully, you'll enjoy it too!  Hope you have a blessed week!

The Power Behind Us Bluebird Card...

Hi ya'll...Today, I want to share with you this card I made a few weeks ago for a male friend who is physically challenged.  It was his birthday and I thought of making an encouragement card.  He had been paralyzed from the chest down due to an accident that happened like 3 years ago.  Believing in the healing that was won by Jesus 2000+ years ago is what keeps him going and we all agree in prayer.  Miracles do happen everyday and we all know that it's not going to be long for that healing to manifest completely in his body.  Anyway, it was his birthday so, had to come up with a manly card (we all know how difficult it is at times to make cards for guys) and at the same time, captures the essence of our faith in the Lord.  So, here's what I came up with.  The bird image was embossed with Blue Tinsel embossing powder came from TPC Studio and so as the sentiment. I incorporated an adorable border from EK Success, black eyelets, Cuttlebug embossing and some stitching.  I tried to stick to simplicity as any bling I would add would  make it more girlish...LOL  So at the end, I really love it!  Simple and clean.  This card is entered into this challenge:

1.  Phindy's Place featuring "Embossing"

Okay friends, let me know what you think about this card.  I love making encouragement/scriptural cards.  For me, it gives more than just a greeting...It actually gives hope to people who are otherwise prone to giving up.  I am not ashamed of sharing my faith in Christ since accepting Him in my life and having a personal relationship with Him is the best thing that ever happened to me.  Love to hear your amazing stories of faith.  Please share...

Count Your Blessings Flowers Card...

Hey there, fellow-Crafters!  A couple of  weeks ago, I had to make several cards for all of my friends who happened to celebrate their birthdays in the same weekend.  Phew!  I was busy making at least 5 different cards since I am not the type to give similar cards so, it was a lot of work, I tell you, and sleepless nights too.  But I was amazed that I was able to do it considering the pretty heavy schedule with Church and work.  Anyway, here's a card that I made taking a bit of inspiration from a Card magazine...I sure made it my own by using a different image, different color combinations and adding some embellishments.  Flower imade are from Paper Studio, sentiment from Printworks stamps, border from Fiskars, leaves from MS Punch, stickles (glitter), some inking and lots of stitching.  I am pretty happy with how this turned out...This card is entered into this challenge:

1.  Creative Card Crew featuring "May Flowers"
