hope everyone is well out there?
Ha ha ha, I don't make many cards but like the old 'bus' saying the need to make these three came at once!!
The first one is a birthday card for a very special lady in my life, my gorgeous niece Victoria, who had a birthday recently. She is a 'girly' girl who loves pink and purple so the Dylusions came out for her. Lol, I tried to be clever and mask off a panel on the card but needless to say it leaked under the masking tape so I ended up cutting the panel from the original card and mounted it on to a new one........
The card was embellished with some stamped and coloured flowers from a Dylusions stamp set and I added some patterned tape and gems to finish.
The second card was made for a member of my on-line craft group UKPC, who incidentally shares the same birthday as my niece. I masked off and inked a background with distress inks and stamped one of my faves from the Hobby Art 'Beauty' collage stamp set using coffee archival ink. I then added accents and a border with a metallic glitter pen to finish, sorry that they don't show up in the photo very well though!!........
The final card was made for a monthly card swap that I have been participating in through UKPC. The theme this time was embossing. Ha ha, I got a lot carried away and threw every embossing technique I could think of at this card (tee hee, can you spot them!!), ooh, and a lot of colour - sunglasses at the ready my lovelies!!!!!!!!
The stamp set used on the last card is from Inkadinkadoo, lol I can't remember the name though, sorry!

Fabulous cards Dawn--I'm sure the recipients will love them. There is nothing I like more than lots of color, especially Purple, and the look of coffee-stained paper. Thanks for popping by to my blog and for your sweet comments.
Fun cards - isn't it amazing how easy it is to create such different looking cards? You've got a great use of color - who wouldn't love to receive one of these!
I'm not much of a card maker, but yours are quite inspiring. I suspect I'll be making a few before the end of the month. I think that was a very clever save in the first card.
Have a great day and weekend.
Hi Dawn, finally tracked your blog down ... can't think why it took me so long but I'm following now. All your cards are great - you've used some really lovely techniques and created lovely effects. Love your vibrant colour choices too. I have trouble remembering the names of just about everything these days, forgetting the names of stamp sets is nothing :)) Elizabeth xx
Three wonderful cards!! I especially love the color combinations and the composition of the third one...what a work of art!!! xo Evie
Was thinking of adding a bit of sheet music to all my Christmas packages to UKPC - don't fret. BJ
