Sorry to have been absent for so long.
My sweet sweet Grandmother passed away this last Friday on her 92nd birthday. She was a beautiful person inside and out. She loved the Lord, her family, babies and flowers. She had the most amazing green thumb! No, I didn't inherit that gene. I think this photo is the last one I have with her. She was already not feeling very well but she was still able to flash that sweet smile for the camera! I will miss her terribly.
So I am trying to jump right back in the game today with a few cards I made several weeks ago.
All three cards are made with the new ODBD Lilacs set.
I colored the image in various shades of copic marker and cut out the image with a Spellbinders Oval. I used a black marker to get the tiny border around the oval. I framed it with the Spellbinders ODBD Custom Elegant Oval Die. The black background is embossed with a cuttlebug folder and I added tiny pearls. Then I added the lace bow and tiny Spellbinders tag to the Lilac image. I sprayed the card with Glimmer Mist to complete the card.
For this one I colored the lilacs in vintage shades of brown copics. I used the out of the box technique when I cut the image out with the Spellbinders Oval. Romantic Rectangles make a beautifully shaped card base. I added lace and pearls to complete this card.
And another vintage card! I used vintage shades of lavender and blue and brown copics on the image and cut it out with the Spellbinders ODDB Custom Elegant Ovals Die. I framed it with the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis die cut. I dyed the seam binding with Glimmer Mist and wadded it up and let it dry to have the wrinkled look. I made the bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker. I topped it off with a pretty button and crochet thread.
Ok well, that is all for today! I hope you all have a blessed day and I will see you again soon!
with my deepest sympathy Sandee, may Gods peace surround you..you will see her again and then it will be forever!

Sandee, I was blessed to see this terrific picture of you and your grandmother. There is nothing that blesses a life the same way a precious, Godly Grandma can! I miss mine so much. She was 90, when she went home to be with Jesus,seven years ago. Oh, I still miss her. Love and comfort be yours as you head into these next months.
