Mixed Media Tall Cards

I tried a different shape of cards, mainly because I had some cardstock pieces I had used shimmer powders upon. The yellow and pink one has gold glitter accents, a flower from Card Making Magic, and the shimmer powders are Color Burst. Very cheery! The blue card is using gesso through a stencil, the let it dry, and use it as a resist. I added Nuvo Drops and a sentiment from SSS. Try a different card shape today! ... View the Post

Alice in Wonderland Envelope

I love Alice in Wonderland! This paper collection from Echo Park is such fun to use. I added a small ephemera in the corner for a "stamp". Alice is taking it easy. :) I love to pop eyelash trim behind collages to add texture. A great time to use your blue wax! Have a special day! ... View the Post
