Make a Wish

Hi viewers, hope the new week is progressing well for you.
  Isn't  it funny where inspiration can come from ?
I have just received a new batch of recruiting brochures  from SU and on the cover  are a couple of cards .  The images are also featured in the IBC , page 111.  Here is my take on one of them , the layout is the same just different sentiment.
Kraft is the card base . With Whisper White , Pretty in Pink , Choc Chip and Sage Shadow SU , completing front. Rub-on sentiments from Eastern Elegance SU . Ribbon , SU. Spiral Punch , SU.
Hope that you like it.

Two for today

Hi there and welcome . Only two cards today and not one is using Tota-ally Tess!
I went back to the stash of rub-ons for this card . Safe to say this is a 10 minute card.
Choc Chip card stock DSP , both SU .
Greeting Rub-on Eastern Elegance, SU
And a vintage flower embellishment . And 4 little rhinestones on centre panel.

This one is  my fav. for day because I love earthy tones .Card stock is Soft Suede , Sahara Sand, Creamy Caramal.SU.            Inks are basic brown and Creamy Caramal .                              Stamp sets are Asian Artistry and Autumn Days.                        Ribbon is from SU, Ribbon Originals.                                         Definately  will find a male on my family/friend list  with a birthday coming up soon to give this one to .                                            This is what I love about card making . Each session is different .  When I come to my desk  in the afternoon It's always like ...a new canvas. And I  never know what is going to inspire me for the day . Would it be the card I saw in the post office as I waited in line , or would it be the birds that were chattering in the park or some colour/ pattern on the teatowel I hung on the line.                   Where-ever  the inspiration comes from , I am always happy to share it with you in the form of  small works of ART.      Thank you for visiting .

                                                                                                           

Rub-a-dub and pop sticks..

Hi there ." What on earth is Shirley-anne on about here? ", I can hear my visitors saying .
It's ok , I just wanted a name for a Post for cards with Rub-ons as a feature.
I adore the new Rub-ons " Dots & Designs ' by Stampin'Up.
Here are two cards , easy cards and each only took 15 minutes starting from scratch . I am a plain card creator, not one for a lot of embellishments , but I might try to venture out of my comfort zone just so that I can show you that I can challenge myself from time to time .
So thank you for browsing and please call back soon to see if I have really taken up the challenge to stretch my creativity .
Cheers Shirley-Anne
