African Violets

I've been busy with impromptu request, but I love it!  Cards were needed to give our honored sorors with 50 plus years in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc to put their monetary gift in.  I needed 11 and it had to be something cute, quick and simple to make. The African Violet is our sorority flower so I grabbed it and a heart punch by Martha Stewart.  This is my design.

Entering in the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday #220 Anything Goes (Inspirational)

In Sympathy

As chair of Courtesy with my sorority I make a lot of cards.  I had four to send with condolences and wanted to use the same image.  Unfortunately I'm not sure where I purchased her from. It may be a Rubbernecker stamp.  If you know, please let me know.  I wanted a CAS style using Sizzix side card die for the first card.  The rubber stamp is embossed on the last three cards.

Shine

Yellow is a color that just brightens the room and I hope it brightens the receivers day!  This card was inspired by Viva La Verve's sketch.  I stamped the scripture to the doily.  The flowers were stamped with Tim Holtz embossing ink and I poured Suze Weinberg Gold Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel and Zing Pewter Embossing Powder on the flowers.  It's been a while since I've used embossing powders or the heating gun so I look forward to using it again soon.

Scraps of Color FNC

What a night!  I got my MOJO back during Scraps of Color Friday Night Chat.  Mary Joyce hosted our last FNC for the year.  It was great to see so many old and new faces on line.  The image was her gift to us to create any project and post it by midnight.  The Fabulous Robert Jackson designed the image.

Monday MOJO 414

This card was inspired by Monday MOJO 414 sketch. They make it so easy to create.  My customer requested a sympathy card. using red, black and brown.  I chose kraft instead and used a powerful sentiment by Verve's 'Let It Be' collection.
