Paper shelter taking a break


The images by paper shelter ,with these cute kittens! Colored with pencil and used an oval stitched die cut. I started on yellow card stock ( main color) and used a new die cut in green pattered pater (using the skeletons). Added a sentiment as a 3rd layer in red.  Added gems to finish 









 


Teal cross embossed


I often use this card for a sympathy card as it has so many sentiments. I used a teal ink over the embossed area and placed on a teal cardstock. Added 3 tiny teal gems on the top and bottom corners.  Teal is one of my favorite colors.

Well…another few days and this month will be GONE!  Since I am a warm weather gal…I say 
BYE-BYE!😎
 This week our sponsor is Gina K. She offers a variety of products and for my card I am using one of  my favorites from her stock….the Swiss dot embossing folder!  This has been my go to for years!  You can dress it up or make it very CS and simple.  I started with white cardstock, embosses the front. Cut 2 papers the same size, placed them at opposite angles. 
I used the same embossing folder on gold paper and a new to me diecut “thank you” placed it on top.
Pop over to her site….you won’t be disappointed and if you enter the challenge this week, you could be the lucky winner of the random draw.
