Tulips Candles and Wishes Easel Card

This card was photographed before I had set up my tent so the quality is not as good!

I have a sister-in-law that has always been an inspiration to me. She is one of those people that you admire for her honesty, integrity, humor, kindness and overall pleasing personality. My kids have always called her Saint Jean!  I made this card for her two months ago when I came across this tulip paper by Reminisce. She has always loved tulips. Her birthday was this week and the card sent off so I can post it now.

I love the easel cards and they are so simple to make.  I hope she enjoys it and you are inspired to make one yourself.

Supplies:
Spellbinders Motifs
EK Success Border Punch
Stampin' Up Whimsical Words and Heard From the Heart
Reminisce In Bloom Paper

Later this week I will be posting some Blog Candy!  Stop in and leave a comment on that post to be included in the random drawing for a little treat!

Just For You

This is the my challenge card for MFT Getting Sketchy #24.

I have been trying to use up some of mountains of paper that I seem to have acquired. You know how it is, see it, gotta have it, put it away, forget it..... well this card evolved out of some black and cream paper that I have no idea when or where I got it. Actually I most likely got it from School Adventures (my LSBS).  Anyway it really makes me feel good to use up some of what I have.

The doily is my favorite MFT (My Favorite Things) Dizzy Doily. Spellbinders Labels 20 is the center tag. An EK Success border punch was used for the scallops and circles border. The flower is another of the Satin Roses that I made using several sizes of circles and burning the edge.  

Have a super day!

Poppies

Today's card is inspired by the stamp Poppy, by Crafty Secrets. I love flowers and since I live in the desert and it's difficult to grow flowers the next best thing is to paint them. I have done many oil and water color paintings mostly of roses so when I saw this stamp I just had to buy it!

This was painted with Copic Sketch markers. The colors used were,
