Birthday Card for my Son

Hello everyone,

I would like to show off the birthday card I made for my son:

I made a pool table card. :)

I painted the medium size beads to mimic the colors of billiard balls.

I used some green felt, cut out the pool table frame from cardstock and covered it with ultra thick embossing enamel to get that shiny look, and I did that with Q-sticks too.

I think my son will have a kick out of this one :)

I would like to enter this card into following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge "You've got the Edge"

Elegant Love Card with Black Roses

Hello everyone,

Here is my latest make:

There are 45 roses on this card, all hand made by me. I used Sue Willson Camellia dies to make my roses.

Love die cut in red is a Penny Black "Love" die.

Damask pattern peeking in the heart shape background is a free printable that I found on Pinterest, I think...

One more look at the finished card...

I made this card exclusively for the Double D Challenge, since I loved their mood board and theme:

A POP of Color

Scrapy Land Challenge #70

Hello everyone,

it is time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land Blog and the theme is Anything Goes  using dies that Scrapy Land Store carries.
Here is what I made for this challenge inspiration:

I used patterned cardstock with glitter for my base.

I created a window with Spellbinders Labels 31 die, but you can also use Sue Wilson California Collection Decorative Frames as a substitute to create the same effect. I used a die from that same set for my sentiment die cut.

I made the flowers using the Sue Wilson Finishing Touches - Tropical Hibiscus dies
I added microbeads to the stems.

I also added some Cheery Lynn Leafy Flourish diecuts.

One more look at the card...
