Loads of Love Card and A Butterfly Birthday Card







New month means new challenge at House Of Cards and this month we have a theme LOVE...



I have an idea how if I made my weaving basket by my self? I cut white strip paper then did weaving then after finished I stamped the woodgrain stamp with Tea Dye Distress Ink.



I stamped self the background paper with this set, I took only the dots stamp from Paper Smooches clear stamp set, and stamped many times on the white paper as Background paper.



Here is the card I made, I put many heart on that basket...and some of the heart cut out sent from my lovely Friend Billie A in USA ...thanks dear Billie for sending me the cut out...I can use it for a YEAR dear :)...its so very much :) and all are so cute and lovely :) 



The Sentiment is from Unity Stamp and I colored the heart with pink pen.





I hope you inspired and we would be happy if you join us at House Of Cards Challenge this month :)

My Second card is for a colleague in the Office, she need a birthday card for her friend named Helga. As I told you I move to the new office and we are 5 Accountant in one Departement and we are all ladies :)...so happy to make this card using the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch #108:(sdh a. p.)




Here how I made my stripes Using PTI Stripes stamp and green ink.



I love the idea from the DT Member Michelle Leone:




I  started then with colored the Butterfly with water color set that I love much, the Kuretake Gansai Tambi from Japan




I used my Kuretake Water color the green and orange one:


then I made my white paper stamped with grey butterlies too:



I love the idea from Michelle and here is my version  CASE-ing her card:



Hope my colleague like this card for her friend :) and I want to say many thanks to Dawn who sent me the Embossing cut out paper that I used on this card :)

  8. A basket of hearts, how clever is that! And the basket looks so much like the real thing!
    Green is a color I struggle with myself, but I love green even though I do not use it much in my card making. A part from some leaves that is. With the butterflies it has a great spring feel to it. I'm tired of winter now, snow please go away!
