Peach Parfait flowers



I haven't posted in a while, so here's a few to look at.


I had these flowers made and the CAS116 was to use 3 of something. I rolled the petals to give them some dimension. You can't really see it in the picture but the ribbon has a pnkish strip running thru the center.

Christmas card #8


Here's an idea I stole from my demo this week. She made this card in pink as a birthday card and I thought it would make a great Christmas card. We did a class this week where all the cards were made with punches. This one uses the 1" circle punch. She didn't post hers, so I'll post mine.

Cardstock: Always Artichoke

Ink: Cherry cobbler, circles sponged with Vintage photo distress

Retired Red Riding Hood ribbon, silver stickles, twine.
