Friendship

This is the last of my Summer cards.  I made this for a "friendship" swap.  I thought the chair looked cute in purple!  I colored it with colored pencils and embellished with the cute ruffled ribbon in Wisteria Wonder.  Love those new In-Colors!

Thank you, Susan in the Boonies, for leaving such nice comments on my posts.  I really appreciate hearing your friendly words!

Life is a Bowl of Cherries...

Well, apparently I got a bit behind in posting my Summer cards after my Dad passed away, so here are a couple that use a DSP that I really love...the Domestic Goddess DSP, LOL, what a name!  The stamp set is the Cherish Friendship set, which is so good for coloring, which I love to do.  Aren't these colors pretty?  This paper coordinates with the new In Colors...Pool Party, Calypso Coral, and Daffodil Delight.  Fun!

This second card is the same, but with another set of papers from the 'Domestic Goddess' Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack.  Isn't the new Ruffled Ribbon pretty?

I used my Stampin' Markers to color my bowl of cherries (notice I changed the color of the bowl?)  I embossed the background with my Perfect Polka Dots Embossing folder.  I think embossing really adds to the feel of the card...I'm into texture!  :)

I like these cards because I can use them for most any occasion...versatile and cheery!

Here is a card I made a while ago using some pretty retired paper and the cute bird cage stamp.  This stamp set is retired, but there is a new one I like better.  This older stamp was hard to get color on the bird, while leaving the cage black.  The new set has the bird and cage separate...much easier to color!
