For Bonnie - Our Queen of the Day!

Queen of the Day is one of my favorite challenges over at Splitcoast. This week Bonnie is our Queen and here's a link to her beautiful gallery of cards.

I had the hardest time picking a card to cas, after many minutes I finally picked this one to case:


And here is my take on it:



































I tried so hard to use papers for this card but I just couldn't get things to co-ordinate. So I used Honeyomb Flair from Close to My Heart. Also love love love the hollycock zipper ribbon. The other stamps used are from Unity Stamps.

Here's a peek at the inside of the card:

Buzzing with good wishes CC421

This card was created for the color challenge over at Splitcoast. The color challenge is Basic Black, Calypso Coral and Baja Breeze. I had paper colors but only black ink. I thought about doing a siloutte card by cutting out an image on the cricut. But as I went to set up the machine I noticed the honeycomb embossing folder laying there waiting for some love. So I switched gears and created this card for my mom.

Stamps: Quick Cards - Bumble Bee A1135
Paper: Calyps Coral, Baja Breeze, Basic Black
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Natural Trim, Coral Bakers Twine Honey Comb Embossing Folder

First Card using Secret Garden stamp/framelits

I can't believe this is my first card using these stamp set and matching framelits. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it in the spring mini. March was such a crazy month in our personal life that I didn't have much crafting time. Mother's Day is coming pretty quickly (I need some mailing time as well) So this morning while daughter watches Oasis and son is sleeping I decided to pull out the set and look on Splitcoast for some inspiration. I found this card and decided to case it. One day I will find my mojo and create again but for now I case. If you love this card as much as I did please leave some love for patstamps2001.

 
Supplies: Kraft, Yellow, Teal papers from scrap bin. Lagoon Ink used on sentiment, sponging, and flowers. Secret Garden Stamp and Framelits, Finishing Touches Edgelits, Burlap Ribbon and Bottons.
