Spring Chick

Its spring! Or at least by the calendar its spring. Our weather has been so flip floppy lately its 80 degrees one day and 40 the next. So to get in the springy mood I played along with A La Card Monkey challenge #101

Everything is SU! except for the flocking. A few years ago I got a lot of flocking on clearance so I figured a little chick is fluffy and needed some flocking =)

See the striped embossing folder? I finally got it....for free! Yes! Sale-a-bration is going on until this Saturday. Spend $50 before tax and get an item in the Sale-a-bration catalog FREE!!!! Click HERE to start shopping!

Monkey #98 Flower

Yay it's Thursday! Not as good as Friday but I'll take it =)

For this card I played along at A La Card Monkey for the 98th challenge! I kept it very simple on this one, well simpler than normal. I was in a daisy making mood so I pulled out the Daisy #2 die and two of my favorite In Colors and cut away! I embossed the strip of Calypso Coral so it wasn't so blah and added some random flower eyelets.

Embossed Butterfly

A very quick post as I run out the door this morning. I used the A La Card Monkey sketch #90 for today's card.

I've been trying to use more of my tools in the craft room so my Big Kick (yes, I know I need to upgrade to a Big Shot) has been getting a lot of use. I've finally mastered getting a deep emboss from the texture plates by adding shims, I had all about given up using them because they just didn't give a great look. So I embossed the top strip and the butterfly to make them kinda pop out on the card. Also added some pearls because butterflies need pearls =)

Happy Tuesday!
