I stamped the coneflowers and then masked them with a post-it notes. I then finger painted behind them. I had these border stickers that I had in my stash. I added them and silver dots and a silver line around the edge. I embellished with square rhinestones and a metal charm that says faith.






I used a diamond oragami base for my rose card. I did paper tole on the rose.





Come on back tomorrow for more creativity.

 Why I hoard... I will admit it that I am a hoarder. I see pretty paper, I will pack it away, to use that magic SOMEDAY on a card. This last week, I spent 4 days going through those kinds of papers and scraps. I had this calendar page from November of 2005. For almost 9 years this has been sitting in my box of paper just waiting for the right card. To be truthful, I almost forgot I even had it.

But didn't it make the perfect backdrop for my takeout box and fortune cookies?


I replaced the drawing of the wire with a paper clip that I opened up. I cut slits in the fortune cookie and put strips of paper for the fortunes. I curved the fortune cookies around my fingers to make them look 3-d.

Making this card made me think of when my husband and I started dating. We use to go to a little Chinese restaurant called HIMS. It was a very small place just a couple of blocks from our college campus. 

Check out what these ladies did with this set.
