Mother's Day Cards 2019

 
Every year, I make and sell for cards for Mother's Day. This time, I couldn't find the right flowers for my design.  So, I got creative and decided to paint these white flowers from Michael's in pinks and metallic gold. This was a perfect match with the beautiful Kaisercraft patterned paper I used.  Everlasting  is the name of the paper collection and is so full of floral and feminine touches. Just perfect for moms.
 
Take a look at my collection.
 
 
 

I added a little metallic gold to the pink flowers and a little pink to some of the gold ones.



Made this flower years ago out of tulle. So pretty!

 
 
I made these next cards using some of my art. Copies were made and added to 5x7 cards. Then, I stamped the sentiment on top.



Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

    Your cards are amazing! I love the 3-D flowers. Your painting of them to match the backgrounds is awesome. I also love that you made prints of your original artwork and used THOSE on cards. Very cool!

    Wow, Kelly, thanks for the info on painting those Michaels' flowers. They are gorgeous with the touches of gold in the pink. I love the cards made with your art. You are doing amazing work with your art. What a great idea to use the prints for the covers of your cards. I hope your name appears on the flower bouquets. You deserve the credit for the art.

    Beautiful cards. Reproducing your art for the cards was a great idea. I have some white Michael's flowers somewhere that I should try painting, too.

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...

Vintage Layout

I wanted to share this layout with you all. I recently submitted a design team application and I had to make a layout. I haven't made a layout in years so it was a nice challenge. I enjoyed making the first one so much I wanted to try another one. This one is dedicated to my sweet grandmother, Thelma Cobbs. This was her college picture back in the 1930's. I just love this picture of her, the sepia tone color and the style is so classic.  Her style has influenced my artistic approach.  I loved all her lace handkerchiefs, hats, gloves, purses and jewel. So I have taken a lot of her traditional, glamours style and use it on my cards and now layouts.  I know she would be so proud to see her fashion sense in my work. Maybe it is my way of keeping her alive and close to me.  Love and miss you Nana! Supplies used are: Webster's Pages patterned paper, Scenic Route rub-on words, Prima flowers, leaves from Michael's, form adhesive on the lady images, cream ribbon and white...
