Red, White, and Blue

This card was made for a challenge at Squigglefly Red, White, and Blue! I used their image called "Liberty Bell". Colored it with Copic markers, dusted a little clear glitter on the star, a little gold glitter on the bell clapper, cut it out and mounted it on dots to give it some dimension. Added a small gold star and a computer generated sentiment "Celebrate". I think it's awfully cute. Happy 4Th everyone!

How Exciting!

Just a quick announcement. I'm designing for Squigglefly and am really excited to be joining an already fabulous group of designers. I'm going to be showing off some of their images and letting you see the other designers awesome work. Hope you enjoy the creative efforts of Marlene's Marvels! Have a great week!

What Holiday Is It?

I made this cute little card for a challenge at Squigglefly. The idea was to create a card using one of their holiday images but use it for something other than it was intended. I picked their image called Happy Fourth. Used Copic markers to color a 4th of July theme but chose to add a computer sentiment to celebrate a birthday! I used pop dots to give dimension to the sentiment on the bottom. Added a little glitter to the star on the hat and candle flames, a couple of rhinestones and there you have it. I think it's rather cute...don't you?

With Sympathy

Another sympathy card in very neutral colors.
I used Distress Ink to shade the edges and embossed the tree with white. I added pop dots to the tree to make it stand off the card base. I think the cut corners add to the elegance but hold to the simplicity of the card.

Happy Birthday Friend

A good friends birthday prompted me to make this card. She has brought so many years of happiness to my life. I hope she knows how special she is to me.

Special Thoughts

Do you ever find it difficult to make sympathy cards? I sure do. You don't want anything to foo-fee or to bright. So I decided to use cream and white. I think it turned out kind of nice. Don't you?

Seeing Stars

Oh Happy Day! Just a quick card to pick me up and send a note to a friend. Hope you enjoy it.
