Starry Knight

For this card I used Clearly Digi Stamps' digi called "Knight Marshmallow Roast" and you can find it in the newly opened store.  Included with the purchase many different versions including this B&W  .png which I used in order to layer over Snip Snap Scraps' digi paper, then I colored it in with my markers.  CDS digis also come with each element in different formats (example, the dragon by itself, and each has a color and b&w version and each comes in jpg and png so there are actually 16 files in this kit).

I used Silhouette Studio DE to layer the image, star paper and the ground and merged it with a nesting frame, then added a mat for layering after the pieces were cut.  The paper stars are from a punch then as if the buttons didn't already overdo the star theme, I randomly added some gold star sequins.

The colored fire on the inside is another stamp that is included in the set.  I just layered it over the flattened digital elements on the front of the card and created a blank space for a hand written message.

P.S.  I am not affiliated with CDS in any way, I just love this shop!!!

For this card I used a Melonheadz image.  So cute!

Here you can see the details; I made a paste of Pearlex in aqua and Mod Podge gloss and painted it on the bird, tulips and frame.  It has sort of a sea glass effect in person, I had a hard time capturing it.  Then I made another batch with just a clear/bronze speckle and stippled it on the bird cage, roses and frame.   This gave it a nice shimmery finish.

And here's the inside of the card:

Paper Piecing

I don't do paper piecing much.  When I try it becomes one big mess on my Silhouette because I forget to edit out the stuff I don't need..  Please excuse the amateur-ish result, it's actually an improvement!  The outlines didn't show so well so I hand drew them in.  Anyway, I think this would be a cute "I miss you" card.

Birthday Princess

Before I post my card, I have to share.... Clear Dollar Stamps is having a Moving Sale and everything is 50% off.  The prices are unbelievable anyway so with the discount I kinda felt like I robbed them.  Check it out.  The sale ends May 13th at Midnight.
