Thank You Embraced

I went away for the weekend to a scrapbooking and card making "get-away" and I loved every single second !
Anyway, i made a few cards for the troops but I also made a few for myself. This is one of them.
Recipe - Bashful Blue cardstock, Brocade Blue ink, Embrace Life stamp set, Artfully Asian stamp set, brads, Glossy Accents (I didn't have SU! Crystal Effects) and a Cuttlebug embossing folder.
I'm not sure what the technique is called on this card but I refer to it as inking Cuttlebug.

Embrace Lantern

I made this last night at Crop & Craft Til Midnight at our local craft store. I actually didn't stay til midnight, just too tired ! LOL I made it thinking about one of my best friends. I'm trying to think of an excuse to give it to her, maybe I'll give it to her just because.
I found the idea for this lantern here at Splitcoast Stampers.

This picture is really dark but I wanted to show you what it looks like with a candle inside. This is the best I could do :)

Recipe - Not Quite Navy cardtock, Sage Shadow cardstock, watercolour paper, Stazon black ink, watercolour pencils, Embrace Life stamp set, eyelets, Natural hemp twine and parchment paper. All items SU! except the parchment paper and the watercolour paper.

Oh happy day ....

I was at a loss as to what to call this card. How do you find names for all your cards? Maybe when you comment on this card you could put that in your comment. Much appreciated.

Recipe - River Rock cardstock, Real Red cardstock, SU! designer paper, Groovy Guava ribbon, white cardstock, Embrace Life stamp set, Basic Black ink, Giga (or Mega, I can never remember which is which LOL) punch, Word Window punch, Coluzzle, Watercolour pencils and Blender Pens.

Embrace "This" !

Man I wish I could make a card a day ! That would be so nice. Well unfortunately I just don't have enough time or enough spunk (I guess that's a good word for it). So my blog will just have to be happy with a card every couple of days or so :)
This card here I'm not sure what I'll do with it or who I'll give it to. I might just keep it and put it in with my demo stuff. Something to inspire my ladies.
Recipe: River Rock cardstock, Real Red cardstock, SU! designer paper, Groovy Guava ribbon, Watercolour paper, Embrace Life stamp set, Basic Black ink, Watercolour pencils, Scallop punch and Blender Pens. All SU! items except 8 little circles on the flower I coloured in with silver gel pen. Just to give it a little sparkle.
Ok I know my cards are simple but I'm a bit challenged in the making cards department but I'm getting better :)

I saw a picture of a card I really liked, I switched it around a bit (Okay I switched it around a lot LOL) and here it is !
