Oh yes more cards

 My stash of premade cards has run very low since I haven't been working at the art table for almost 5 months ... so I got busy and did these very simple ones to add to my box of premade


This image is one I found online and loved, I just printed it then took some white cardstock and used mica spray to add the red/gold color cut it to size nipper the corners and wrapped gold metallic thread around it, and mounted it on craft cardstock card    

For this one, I used white cardstock an ancient cube stamp that has bees and other insects die-cut a bee happy words and used Tim Holtz stencil and fosslizied amber ink, mounted it on black cardstock then added it to a yellow cardstock card


These are what I call a 2 for 1 ... the die-cut is done from a piece of watercolor paper I used 2 green inks from Tim Holtz cubes smeared over the cardstock using the little round dobber, then spritzing it with water let it dry, and cut the flower out, then I did a bit of black splatter and added the cheers die-cut and put it on a slightly lighter green cardstock card that I did a bit of black splatter on the edges and masked the area where the flower would be ... 
The other one is done on an offwhite cardstock card using a Tim Holtz stencil and the same inks from the other card and the birthday sentiment in charcoal ink then adding the die-cut flower from the other card

Sorry it's been so long

 Life happens and it has really happened big time since Christmas of 2022 ... it's now May 20, 2023,
and I have only gotten 1 card made ... it's for my 1st grandchild's graduation from 8th grade, can't believe the next step is high school ... I used the serendipity strip which I created using a 4" wide double-sided tape and diagonal cut card stock with colors that coordinated leaving a bit of space in between so the last step of adding glitter would stick.
