Embellished cards

It all started with this Mother card. I made the Mother card for a challenge at Embellish Magazine.

I mean, how could you not be inspired by that color board?

After creating the Mother card, I had all these wonderful papers and embellies out... and then came the Baby cards.

So now I have this family of retro kitschy vintage-y cards. 

Birthday Cards + 1 Thank You

I used some paper and embellies that have been sitting around needing some love.... I don't like having paper scraps so when I cut into my patterned paper I want to use it all... I almost never look in my scrap drawer anymore...there's too much beautiful paper in the rest of my stash to use scraps! So here are some quick cards with all the same papers, but with different embellishments.

Can I just say that I have a soft spot in my heart for chickies...

This last one is my favorite I think. I love that little radish.

Here are some happy cards :)

Since these cards all use the same supplies I thought I'd just type one up for all of them :)

Patterned paper on all cards is from the Cosmo Cricket Garden collection. Cardstock is from Papertrey Ink. Aqua Ribbon is from Papertrey Ink.

Bakers Twine is from the Twinery. Pom-pom trim is from walmart. All Dies and stamps are from PTI. Stickers are october afternoon-farm fresh.

The color scheme of these cards remind me of a retro kitschy kitchen... Something about those colors just make me happy :) 

I realize that my pictures are not the greatest. Anyone want to teach an online photography for dummies class? I could use some help.
