Just wanted to share a few cards I've made in the past few days. I am really enjoying this "creative outburst" I've been having. A link to the details follow the picture. Please enjoy ...

This is for JBE050 Challenge. The directions say to use: 1 stamp, 2 embellishments, and 3 (or less) layers. This has 3 layers counting the card base. I had a hard time leaving this alone. I watercolored the pear and it gives it such a soft, subtle look. Watercolor Crayons were used to color the stamp, then sprayed lightly with a mist of water. A large paper brad was used in the center of the sponged flower. Seems like it still needs something; but it is for a challenge and not for "duding up". Click here for directions.

I am just in love with butterflies now. And these Martha Stewart butterfly punches are so adorable. They make very pretty silhouettes, don't you think? Go here for instructions.

I, also, love whimsey! And the Unfrogettable stamp set is full of it. These little frogs are just too cute! Don't they make you smile? The frog was watercolored. I like how the folded edge and torn sentiment adds to the fun of the card. See this for details.

This card speaks for itself. With the touch of metal of the ribbon slide and the softness of the white ribbon it makes this a simply elegant card. What do you think? Click here for details.

The main image was watercolored with an ink pad and watercolor brush. It came out better than I could have imagined - for me, that is. The recipe can be found here.

The separate panels contain one image that has been cut into thirds. And here I go again with those adorable butterflies. The touch of the black Kaiser pearls in the flower centers give the card some dimension. Go here for directions.
