Celebrate Sunflowers

 Fall is upon us, so I thought that I had better post a

sunflower card, before the snow flies.  Celebrate Sunflowers

has lovely sentiments, in a pleasing font and great coordinating 

Sunflowers dies.  This product lets you make a fun card,

quickly.

Masking Hand Penned with Soft Seedlings

 This is another version of Monday's card concept.  I masked

part of the Whisper White layer and then used Blending Brushes

to add Blushing Bride, Highland Heather and Crushed Curry.

I then stamped the image from Hand Penned.  After removing

the masks, I ran this layer through the retired Subtles 3D

Embossing Folder.

I used a die from the retired Pierced Blooms set, to cut out the

sentiment from Soft Seedlings.  I added a strip of

Golden Garden Designer Acetate and some Brushed Brass

Butterflies (both retired) to finish it off.

Seasonal Layers Dies For a Guy

 My brother in law has had several surgeries, so I have been busy

making cards for him.  For this project, I used one of 

my favorite retired die sets, Seasonal Layers Dies.  I found another

product that would help me remind him to rest and relax

after his recent hospital stay.

I masked off approximately one third of the card layer and

used blending brushes to add colors.  I followed up by adding

a bit of pattern with a decorative mask.  Retired Genial Gems

finished off the look.
