My first solo cards!



Now, don't laugh TOO hard. These are the first card designs I came up with on my own, those so many years ago. I like to think I have improved muchly! Sigh, I wish they would bring back Baroque Burgundy and Forest Foliage. I like them a lot better than their replacements, Handsome Hunter and Bravo Burgundy.

Top:
Stamps- Lovely as a Tree, not sure of the Christmas stamp
Paper- Forest Foliage, Night of Navy, Sahara Sand
Ink- Night of Navy, Forest Foliage
Accessories- non SU glue pen and glitter
Techniques- Sponging and Tearing

Bottom:
Stamps- City of David
Paper- Baroque Burgundy, Brocade Blue, Very Vanilla
Ink- Baroque Burgundy
Accessories- Key Tag Punch
Techniques- Tearing and sponging

  1. I absolutely love the City of David stamp set and didn't get it when I had a chance. Now, I'm a SU demo gal so maybe just maybe someone out there might have a set to dispose of!

    Like your cards! Believe me, creativity only gets better as we go along!!!
