Painted Butterflies

I am beginning to think that the Work of Art Set will be one of my go to sets.  It can add so many aspects to a card either bold or subtle.  With my busy summer schedule, the cards I do get to make are the quick and easy ones.

Monochromatic Butterflies

I think the most popular card I get requests for our Thank you cards.  So Lots of Thanks is one of my favorite sets.   Purple is probably my favorite color so when I saw this concept I knew I had to do it in purple.

In Colors

Another of my Simple Thank You cards I did a while back.  I love how the In Colors go together so well.  It will be sad to see some of them go in June, but I am excited to see what the new ones will be!  Since I "found" the Crumb Cake envelopes I seem to make more cards with a Crumb Cake base.  Do you have a new find that you just cannot stop using?

Coastal Trees

It was such a cooooold morning when I made this card.  I live on a 9 acre wooded lot with lots of beautiful trees which was what drew me to this set to begin with.  So as I look out the window that morning and saw the frost on the trees it chose my colors for me.  Coastal Cabana reminded me that morning of the cold winter weather we had been having.  I stamped the trees and then did some sponging.  I distressed the edges a bit.  The Sentiment is on a Dimensional.
