Happy Birthday - Clean&Simple FTL 82

I made this card based on Clean & Simple FTL 82.



Digital Image "Tulip Trio" is from Fred, She Said that Tracey Miller donated to Operation Write Home. I love this image. I colored it with Bic Mark.It markers.

I raised one of Tulips in the middle with pop dots at the top part and glue dots at the bottom part to give a slight dimension. These glue dots are homemade glue dots that I learned from one of Card Maker friends. I will show you how I made them on my next post for OWH Spring Break Bloghop on Saturday, March 20, 2010.

Tulip Trio

I made this card for Mother's Day card for OWH. I printed the image twice and cut out tulips from the second printout to give dimension with pop dots.

This beautiful digital image "Tulip Trio" on my card is created and donated by Tracey-Lynn Miller, owner of Fred, She Said Digital Designs for OWH card makers. How nice of her!

I used Stamping 411 Sketch #141 although I missed due date for the sketch challenge. I thought that both of image and sketch would work well together.

Happy Birthday Trifold Shutter Card

This morning, I read a post about the Trifold Shutter Card Tutorial at the OWH Stars and Stamps Blog. What a great tutorial! It is open for two weeks to give you time to figure out this challenging card.

I made this card with an idea that came up to my mind while I was reading one of comments that questioning how can soldiers write their message on this card.




This is a close up of the middle panel of the card. Not only this blank space but also I made it as a pocket and inserted a paper inside for wrting more messages. I put the ribbon at the top left of the inside paper to make it easier to pull it out.





Digital Image used:
