Confirmation CArds

 

I really have to stop making cards in a mad rush.  First is a Confirmation girl card, stamped with Hero Arts Blossom Art flower and Papermania capsule ink, the sentiment is an outline sticker as is the image which I put on Papermania cardstock and fussy cut.  The dove was a free clipart. The vellum flower is an idea stolen from Edna's gorgeous blog, inked with the same capsule ink.

The Boy Confirmation was made with a Tim Holtz embossing folder and Hero Arts Pool ink for faux letterpress, Hero Arts script stamp silver embossed onto white card and edge distressed, an outline sticker sentiment.

Just about made the post with this card.  Creative Expressions image coloured (at top speed) with distress inks, Echo Park Victoria Garden paper, felt flowers cut with Sizzix 3d flower die, Spellbinders Labels 1, Tim Holtz Festive Greenery die, pearls.

Mens Cards

Sorry about the poor quality photo.  I had to make this in a hurry this evening so couldn't take a picture in daylight.

I used a Tim Holtz mask and Iced Spruce DI, Sizzix Gadget Gears die also inked with Iced Spruce and clear embossed, Tim Holtz Vintage Market alpha die and the gorgous new Waltzingmouse Stamps Heirloom Patterns stamp in Houndstooth check.  I always find men's cards tricky and left this card till the last possible moment which means rushing!
