Calla Lily Sympathy Card

Hi all. We are going to be out of town the next few days and I wanted to get this one posted before we left. This is a sympathy card for family of family and I had to find a way to mail it without the dimensional elements getting crushed. The calla lilies are punched and formed. I didn't have my flower soft in yet so I used some of my quilling strips to make the stamens. The lily leaves are quilled and smaller punched flowers with pearl centers were added. The corner embossed cutouts are embellished with pearls and the sentiment is stamped and embossed in gold on vellum which is popped up. This embossed cut out design is similar to Jerri K's style and you can see her beautiful work on her blog, see side bar for link.

You will see these calla lilies again in a different color and with their flower soft stamens in another project soon to be posted! I can see my craft table now so I will be back to creating again when we return from our seaside getaway later this week. See you when we get back! Until then,

Shalom,

Sonya

Mother's Day Card

Hi all! Happy Mother's Day to all who are a mother or those who are a spiritual mother showing love and giving encouragement to those who no longer have their mothers with them. This card has an embossed and cut out front panel. I stamped the image in gold and watercolored it with Tombow markers. The style is a CASE (copy and share everything) of Jerri K, see link on sidebar, I love her work!

This is going to be a short post as we have just gotten back from Nacogdoches and S.F.A. at the Big Dip ceremony. Our senior nursing student daughter Rachel dipped her "ax" (S.F.A. mascot is a Lumberjack) hand in purple dye and received her senior ring. We also loaded up the truck with some of her things from her dorm, which has grown exponentially since we took her there last August, so she won't have so much to move back home. I am very tired and tomorrow is going to be a busy day, so until the next post,

Shalom,
