My Favorite Color Is Green... Just in time for St. Patrick's Day!

I used Watercolor Pencils from Close to my Heart to color her in.

The card base is Emerald Cardstock. 

There are various layers of Lagoon and Sweet Leaf cardstock as well.

The Heart Patterned Paper is from the So Much Happy Collection from Close to my Heart.

The little banner under the layered image is also from the So Much Happy Collection.

Valentine's Day Card For My Husband...

Today's card was created to gear up for Valentine's Day in less than two short weeks. 

While my husband and I don't do anything super fancy, we do usually exchange small gifts and go out to dinner. 

Here is the card, I created for him:

As you can see, I went with a monochromatic theme compiled of various shades of pink.

I used the typewriter and the Heart Stamp from the "My Type of Note" Stamp Set. 

This stamp set was released at the end of last summer. It is still available to purchase!

I used it in a previous post here>.
I colored in the typewriter image with a few of my favorite pink Copic markers.

The "love you" sentiment stamped in Black ink, is from last month's Stamp of the Month stamp set "Card Captions". 

I know many of you picked it up for just $5. Awesome deal or what?

For the card base, I used Raspberry cardstock. 

I also added a few layers of Ballerina and Pixie cardstock to the mix. 

I used several pieces of patterned paper from the
I Heart Us Paper Packet (pink dots) and Something Fierce Paper Packet (pink pin stripes). 

These are some of our newest collections that came out January 1st. 

I added some Silver Glitter Gems for a bit of sparkle and dimension.

I added some Smoothie ink, to distress the edges of all of the layers.

On the inside of the card, I have a simple White Panel that has also been distressed,
to write my message on.
