Some current cards

Here are some cards I've worked on recently. Nature's Nest is a very versatile set. The first bird's nest card is used with the new in-color and also a piece of corrugated cardboard I found in some packaging. Run the cardboard through the Sizzix and you get a nice effect. The turtle and birds nest were stamped on watercolor paper with Stazon ink and then watercolored with markers. I used some Crystal Effects on the turtle's shell to make it pop.

The Fifth Avenue Floral set was used for the Sympathy card. I love the collection of Designer Paper in the Hostess paper set. This card was super simple to make by just stamping on Night of Navy paper and embossing with silver, then cutting out. The silver layer of cardstock completes the card nicely.
