Very Unique Cards for May

We met today without a couple of members of our group.  One was recuperating from surgery and the other attending a funeral--we seem to have more of that year by year!

We made some very exciting cards today with pinwheels, hedgehogs and flowers on a trellis.

Dianne started out with a Mason jar cut from vellum and filled with pinwheels. The 6X6 inch cardstock pad from Paper Source was called Summer Fun with Gold.  It supplied double sided paper for the pinwheels.  Some twine and some pastel dots gave the card more texture and accent.

Sue brought a card which we lightly sanded!  The brick or wood background was embossed on a special paper called Core'dinations. The light sanding revealed the inner core color.  We used the wax paper trick for die cutting the trellis.  Sue had the leaves and flowers cut for us, but we spent a lot of time embellishing them with sequins and pearls.

Bonnie shared her joy in hedgehogs with this whimsical card.  We stamped the hedgie with a Penny Black stamp (Bonnie says Penny Black is the Queen of Hedgeghogs) and

used markers or colored pencils to accent him.  Some flowers, butterflies, a ladybug and 

more bees make the sentiment come true:  enjoy the little things!

Another fun session of creating, learning, sharing, chatting and concentrating!
