Hi there! Here is a card I made for today's Try a New Technique on SplitCoast Stampers. This week the challenge is to use buttons to create something Christmasy or wintery.

The snowflake was made using nestabilities " Fleur De Lis Pendant and Shapeabilities Fleur De Lis Accents. Card stock is MFP and the Sentiment is also MFP a Heinrich Co. from the set " Christmas Greetings".

Summer Dogwoods

Good afternoon my friends. my dh went back to work today. So I spent the afternoon playing with my stamps!!! My card today is for Lee's challenge over at Stamp TV to make a summertime card in Nov.
The stamp set I used for my card is Theresa Momber's newly released set "DOGWOOD AND BUTTERFLY" by GKD. I love Dogwood flowers and this awesome set.



I used Copic's to color the images and Basic Grey DP.card stock is GKD. I used my new but old on the shelve Grand Calibur. It did a good job, but will take some getting use to. I also used some Liquid Pearls but they didn't show up much.

I'm doing a hop first thing in the morning hope, you can stop by.
