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.

Vintage Love is Here

I love making greeting cards for Valentine's Day. When my husband and I were dating, he started a tradition of giving each other cards for special occasions. I hadn't been a big card person then but after he started giving me so many great cards, I loved it. I loved giving as much as receiving them. Valentine's Day was one of the best times to get a wonderful card from him. So you can say, he is one of the reasons I got into card making. I loved that feeling of receiving a card from someone I loved and loved me. So with that in mind, we are happy to introduce our "Vintage Love" Collection . I enjoyed creating a daytime and night time versions of these cards. I love the variety that came from my limited supplies. If you need a special card for your loved ones, they will be available in our Etsy store (  www.kellyron.etsy.com   ) for $5.00 each plus shipping and handling . Also, if you would like us to type your expressions on the inside of the card or a organ...

Live Forward

Happy October to all! I am getting ready for the holidays already and hope to have some Christmas cards to share soon. While I am in card mode and am still enjoying creating faces and painting. Here is one of the last ones I did called, "Live Forward." Just a reminded to keeping looking ahead in life. Driving like life is supposed to be done by looking through the windshield not the rear view window. (Oh, that is a good one. LOL!) Also, I loved using strips of patterned paper in the background. Then painted over them with layers of colors and then added stamps and that face. Isn't she pretty? I am so proud I am learning to draw profiles. They have been hard to do but I am starting to get it. Take a look! Thanks for looking and hope you have a terrific day!

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...
