She's "Flower Dearie 2" from Mary Ellen Smith.

A card of a different sort to share....

Hello!  I'm so pleased you wandered

by my blog today.

I have a card to share that was

created for a class I taught on Wednesday, 3/13.

The base and inside of the card was made

using an Accucut die and looks

like Chinoiserie.

I didn't know what they were called

until one of the gals in the class
(thanks Gwen!)

shared the name and told us a bit

about Chinoiserie history.

The papers used to make this card,
are from Graphic 45 Bird Song Collection.

The image on the front was fussy cut

from the collection, then glued to black
card stock, then fussy cut again,
and applied to the screen with pop dots.

The closure is with a magnet.

*click on the photos to enlarge them*

Once you lift the magnet closure,

and open both sides of the card,

this is what you see:

This card is embellished with an Asian medallion and a tassel

on the right side, and a sentiment spot on the left.

In the middle of the card is a beautiful water scene,

from the Bird Song collection.  The

flowers have been enhanced with Stickles.

The Accucut Die used:

Shadowbox, Landscape 1 and 2

Thank you for dropping in

to see my latest project!

God Bless your day,

With Love

Don't you just love it when a child

brings you a handful of flowers?  

I love the look of sheer delight

and love in their eyes!!

I think that's why I was drawn to this
digi image from A Day for Daisies,

because it captures that wonderful moment

so beautifully and reminds me of my children 
and grand blessings! :)

(Please click on the photos to enlarge)

The image is called "Look what I brought you"

and you can find it here.

You can see that the inside of my card

mirrors the outside and that I used the tag

for a place to add sentiment.

Card ingredients:

Card size:  6" x  6"

Sentiment:  from a Docrafts, Papermania Stamp set:  "Bunting"

Base Cardstock:  Bazzill

DP used:

Kaiser Craft 6.5" Paper Pad:  Pink Gelato

Copic Markers used:

Dies used:

Sizzix Framelits - Tags, Fancy

Punch used:

Martha Stewart: Double Arches Edge and Corner Punch

Thank you for stopping by

to see what I've been making!

God Bless you!
