Happy H{ippity} Hop! Monday, June 21

I made this card for my Step-mother, Debbie.  I hope she likes it.  She's not a frilly kind of person, but she loves all things vintage. 

Stamps:  Just Wanted to Say, Regal Greeetings

Ink:  Hybrid Burnt Umber

Paper:  Bazzill Cardstock

Misc:  Lace scrap, brad, 7 Gypsies velvet flowers, topaz colored gems

 I know yesterday was Father's Day.  This is the card I made my husband.  He really appreciated the washer I used (because I had to raid his workshop for it).  

Here are a couple of close-ups:

Stamps:  Where You Should Be

Happy H{ippity} Hop - Monday, May 10

 I originally made this card for 2 challenges- {ippity} challenge 22 - add stitches to your creation and my Blog Group (Eyelets, Ribbon, Paper - Oh My!)'s fourth challenge.  The stamped image is from the Because of You Kit.  I also used Bazzill's In Stitchez for the large flower.   I wasn't really all that pleased with it.  So, I created this:

The only problem with this card, no stitching.  Oh well, I can't have everything.  

Here's the inside:

The leaves are from Where You Should Be and the sentiment is from Devoted.  The flowers are from a company called Petals & Possibilities.  These are real flowers in an epoxy pebble (Petal Pebbles). 

Here's more close-ups:

HAPPY H{IPPITY} HOP MONDAY! - April 26

This is a 4x6 layout.  You guessed it, for a swap.  I used the heart stamp from Because of You to make the flower.  Here's a close up of the flower:

This layout is for the second spot.  I used the birds from What Matters Most and the cattails from Where You Should Be.  Here's a close up of the tag:
