My card is on its way too!

Now I must say I recd a beautiful 2nd card from Sheila Rose. And wouldn't you know it the day it arrived I found the first beautiful card from her. I am so sorry to cause you the extra time and cost of sending out another one. But now I do have two lovely cards to share with friends. I still have not been able to get the pics to upload. Wendy do you think you could upload them for me.

This is the gorgeous card I received from Judi for my COTM this month. I just love the Kokeshi doll! I always have a difficult time with skin tones but Judi did a wonderful job with this. I also love the background with the silver embossed Posh cherry blossoms. Judi, I love the ponytail story you included in your COTM
Hugs, DebRN

I have been visiting some older ideas,
Denise’s cards are versamark and perfect pearls and a large background stamp.
I used several of the colors of perfect pearls because I had them.
Deb RN card is some pretty papers, stamping embossing and coloring and cutting out of the Judikins image and pop dotted onto the papers.
I have been trying to get back to basics.

Judi, your card is adorable! I love the background too.

Sheila, it is always fun to revisit old ideas and techniques, then they feel new again!

My card came today from Denise. Thank you my card is very sweet. I have no specs....the flower child

[blossom]

I don't get it I even resized it and it still looks very big. Oh my.....the floor child

Lois I guess I was so anxious to get in the mail I forgot to add. The bird of course is Judikins.The branch hand drawn and cut out. The "hello" I believe is an Inkadinkado stamp. I will look it up and correct if it is not.
Then layered up on an embossed and hand colored background with Judikins color dusters and various inkpads, and two diecut scallops, 1 scrapbook paper the other a piece of paper marbled with the shaving cream technique. You know Wendy a while back you asked if you ever made things that you held onto. Well I thought about it with this one. I just liked the way it turned out. Lois I hope you enjoy it .

All of the cards are beautiful. I apologize for not getting my comments in. I am in trying to get items ready for an upcoming fall festival in a couple of weeks. It seems that my time is flying by so quickly.

Thank you for listing your process. I also love how you used the positive and negative of the die cut.
I have some of those perfect pearls but am not totally sure how yo use them.
